So it might turn out to be a net win, at least for the summer travel season.

Allegedly pynk also gets you priority in getting rides, though in the past few months I've had a few times where it told me there were few drivers available and thew wait would be long. Sometimes it's long, sometimes not - has anybody dropped pynk yet and seen their wait time go up? It would be worth the $5/month if it saves on the wait on just a couple rides, but it's not obvious that that's actually happening.
I just signed up for the first time this week using the CSR benefit, and the benefits listing stated that the priority pickups would be at airports only.

Interesting enough, I also got sent a survey link where they mentioned possibly expanding priority pickup to be a Pink benefit in general, as opposed to airports only...
