NuRide Program Pays Slugs to Commute

The only thing about this....to begin earning cash points and other things listed on the site.....the driver must either have a NuRide account or you must get their email address. As most of us know...that's not always a piece of information people are willing to give out. So the only way for this to work is if there is a major awareness or NuRide. It's a fantastic idea though.

Think!

Ok...so I signed on with NuRider....it's actually pretty interesting. I have been emailing back and forth with the creators for the past couple of days...I think this is a great idea...and frankly...getting paid to commute doesn't bother me...nor the 1k a week give away...here read this:

From: jonathan@nuride.com
We give away 1k a week. Each week we take all the valid entries for thatweek, and draw from them one winner. You get one entry for every passenger in a confirmed trip, with upto 10 entries per member per week. So the more you register trips the greater your chance of winning, especially in these early days. If you win, you are excluded for a month, just so more people have a chance. So hand out the cards and encourage people to register
trips.

A bit of background on us for you, as your instinct is correct. Our single goal is to reduce traffic congestion and the associated emissions by encouraging ride sharing. In order to do that we know we must pay people. Studies have shown that the almighty $ goes a long way when asking someone to do something different. We are launching and testing our system with Sluggers. Then we move onto other ridesharing groups before finally tackling the millions who ride alone. We believe sluggers should get first shot at the money, as a reward for what you are doing.

We make the money we need to pay you, by selling sponsorships to local merchants. When you register a trip you will be presented with one, it will probably be an offer or promotion, for example, if you slug out of Rolling Valley you will get an offer from Boston Market for $2 off a $10 meal. We are striving to make these offers as valuable to you as possible. Infact if you have nay thoughts on any retailers or restaurant near your line that you would want us to approach please let me know.

Thanks again for your comments, we are implementing a couple of changes overnight let me know what you think.

Thanks

Jonathan

We heard your comment from a few people and made some changes to the site, and the sign in process in order to provide more clarity.

NuRide will not sell or share your information with anyone. You will recieve emails to confirm you took part in trips registered by others, and one email a week from NuRide that informs you about changes to the site and drawing winners, and that is it.

Please take a look again

Thanks

This looks like one of those 'to good to be true' things that my mom warned me about. What's really in it for NuRider? I've read all the info on the site and to get the 'full benefit' you have to give more than just your email address. AND shortly thereafter you'll be inundated with mail from places seeking your business. I'm not sure that receiving a buck or two every now and then is worth it.

I am so jealous seeing my colleagues racking-up $$$. I wish they were more people in Dumfries area to join in!
