I will not join a single ride even if I get 10k points. The concept of using infrastructure for free and willing to support the. comunity with tax and fair income for drivers is a system I can't support.
I'm very unhappy to see that SPG does support this kind of business model. On one hand supporting Children on the other hand Ueber. This does not fit in my understanding.

Just got my Suiteride in midtown NYC after continuously requesting it for the last hour. We'll be in Chinatown in about 15 minutes if anyone is looking for a car. I think I heard there were around 80 SPG cars in New York.
Thank you SPG for the 15K points, the W bath amenities and the free ride.

Would it help if I walked over to an SPG hotel and tried to catch one?

Got a Luxury Collection suiteride from Williamsburg. Impressive amenities: a chocolate cake from the Hotel Imperial in Vienna, hardcover LC cookbook, gift card to Eataly... not to mention the 15k points and free ride! They even proactively refunded the $5 toll that had been charged to me on the ride. "Suite"!!! ^^

The average cost for a 20 minute, 8-10km ride in those Indian cities:
150-200 Rs using UberX, or US $2.50-3.00!

Just caught one in SF. Got dropped off at Mission 16th. I think Union Square wi be your best bet.
Driver said I was his first ride and he can give 5.
Pro tip: keep requesting even if it says no cars available, you will get the first one when the previous trip ends.
Sheraton amenity kit is ok, free wine glasses, Starbucks coffee drink and wifi card.
But I just wanted the 15k

I agree that even if no cars showing just click on the the "NO SPG CARS AVAILABLE" to request a ride. Sort of like a waitlist in your area.
Uber indicated in Twitter feed there were 20 cars in NYC so it looks like they are giving 100 rides total.
Good luck.
