To sway riders away from Uber and Lyft and promote their surge-free service, Gett will soon offer to pay users back for surge fees paid to their competitors. The company is also testing a new feature that would allow drivers who have been suspended or fired by the companies to get their jobs back. Starting on November 10, riders can submit multiple receipts from either Uber or Lyft, up to a cumulative total of $100, and then be redeemed for Gett rides. To make it even more interesting, Gett is also offering a $1,000 cash prize to the rider with the single highest surge submission. A scoreboard on SurgeSucks.com will track all surge submissions from participants.
