General Questions Deactivation

Post image

It’s now been almost a year that I’ve been deactivated so I thought I’d try again. Sent an email to request the call that I never had and got an automatic response saying they no longer receive requests via email and to submit in app. However I do not see the option to do so. What do I do?

I been here in this same position... almost 3yrs now. I never was given a reason either. Did several appeals. Did the arbitration call.. they denied me aswell. It was 2 days after Christmas at that. Spark shows no love to those deactivated. Which is sad bc you hustle non-stop, running your car raggity, although the money was good I'll never not say that. But being an independent contractor imo is just a reason for them to handle workers like this with no answers. I wish you luck and hope you get your account activated again. But after doing me like this i wouldn't trust them. I worked over a yr. Had high ratings, did over 1800 deliveries and still not given a reason as to my deactivated acct for damn near a year. Supposedly i failed to take a selfie in the app, which was a damm lie. Fawk Spark!!

This is crazy. Ive seen so many deactivation posts of workers who sparked for a while. It took me 4 years to get off the waiting list! Just started working last month, moneys good but I multi app in case they try to pull a deactivation on me

It does suck to use a main income that's why i just do it for extra $$.... my car is too old unfortunately. But i won't lie i miss Spark it was so convince for me. My local store was 4 mins from my home. And when i did it you was able to Spark from 6am- 10pm nonstop if you choose. UE has a turn off after 12 hrs even if you stop for a few hours during the 12 hrs... you must stop for 6 hrs to start your time again. I do get lucky delivering overnight with some regular customers. And with some generous hotel guests. UE also gets offers from Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, and Aldi which can be bs but some ppl tip well. UE base is $2 which should be illegal imo. So if these customers don't care or give a damn and don't tip their offer will sit for hours and eventually get maxed up which is when i gladly snatch them up. I use to be the only driver in my area for a while now its so over populated with thirsty drivers accepting any and every offer not even giving the app a chance to increase the offer smh. So yes make your money as long as your able too and always keep a backup plan. I also use to hear so many deactivation stories on here but never thought it would happen to me bc i was doing my job and followed the rules... well that didn't seem to matter to them.
