I would have gone to such lengths as well - beats being berated by taxi drivers for taking short trips.
In SF, Uber drivers are virtually indistinguishable from taxi drivers.

That doesn't make any sense. Uber drivers know where you want to go before they even accept the fare, don't they?

#34Pro tip when dealing with this level of ineptitude is to cold email a few execs (guess their email from linkedin). Normally the problem will filter down to someone with the intelligence to calmly read through the thread and diagnose the issue.

If you really want a "pro tip" about Support, ask your Rep to inform their Manager. If things aren't going well you have every right to keep going up the chain of command. If that doesn't work, keep going. Somehow you'll reach the right Exec instead of just guessing.
Re: An Uber support experience
#40My guess is that the OPs email address soft-bounced 3 times and was added to Uber's suppression list within their sendgrid account (they are a sendgrid customer). There's probably no way for Uber support to see what's happening in their sendgrid account and this was probably failing silently. Uber's app was attempting to send the password reset email, but your email was on the suppression list and delivery was stoppe…
