I pull up the app and request the ride as soon as I'm landside (i.e. before you cross the skybridges) and the ride usually shows up as soon as you make it to the ride share area.
Back on topic though -- does anyone actually spend enough in a year this way to generate an appreciable number of miles? At 1x miles per dollar, you'd have to spend $1-2k/yr. minimum (base ride fare, excluding tips, etc.) to get a thousand miles, which seems like absolute peanuts to me.
