Show HN: Uber Spender Chrome Extension – spending data for Uber power-users

Thanks for this. I live in SF, don't own a car, and consider myself a frequent customer of Uber - yet my average monthly spend is less than 15% of the monthly rate for the nearest parking garage. Owning/leasing a car around here for anything other than commute is truly a shitty proposition.

I switched from commuting to working remotely about 6 months ago, and, unsurprisingly, I drive much less now. I can walk almost everywhere I need to go, and at night I usually take Uber – especially when out drinking. My car payment is becoming harder and harder to justify.

I would strongly consider getting rid of my car and exclusively using Uber if they offered some kind of subscription. Plans could vary based on your expected usage. For example, for $150/mo you would get 10 UberX rides, 5 black car rides, and 1 SUV – all within some reasonable distance. If you use all of your credits, any overrages would be billed normally. If you don't use all of your credits, Uber wins. A subscription to drop the minimum fare would also be compelling.

This is pretty great. Frightening how I've been spending a ton more on Uber recently after the fare reductions.

Also, don't forget to click 'Show all trips' on the table and reload to see better results.

Sidenote: Interesting things can be found in the console:

window.USER

I'll be writing about some of the insecurities and pitfalls of Uber's current setup (and how they're serializing some objects) soon.

If Uber had a frequent driver program I'm pretty sure I'd be a power user based on this.
