The one benefit I miss is the one wheere I got "highly rated drivers." Now I'm getting matched with drivers in the low 4s, and in my experience, most drivers who have a rating below 4.7 deserve it.

I suppose, as the old saying goes, you never really appreciate something until it's gone. Now that I think of it, at airports I always get picked up by highly rated drivers (generally, at least 4.9 ratings), very quickly even, say, in LAS when others are waiting sometimes 20+ minutes and was earning about $5 rewards almost every other trip.

Not sure if Uber One is worth it, but if I get the highly rated drivers and priority airport pickup, I'd certainly consider it.

Since Uber rewards went away I spent $1k at Lyft. Works out great for me ... hopefully works out for Uber as well

It really depends on your area. In my area, Lyft is almost always more expensive than Uber and/or a longer wait. It may be that more people are using it? Either way, I will go with whichever one is closer or lower priced depending on my needs at the time. Soon I may be switching to all-Uber since Lyft decided to rip me off.

For me Lyft is mostly cheaper, but often very similar in price. Had a lot of rides since my last post. Another $1k went to Lyft instead of Uber :)
