Your referrals will be at one the following stages of the application process:

  • Driver Waitlist: Your referral has been waitlisted as they are not currently driving in one of our active markets, or they do not meet our 100 trips per month requirement.
  • Driver Qualified: Your referral has completed the first stage of the application process, and has to log back into their account to continue their application.
  • Driver Agreement Completed: Your referral has signed our driver agreement, and just has to upload their payment information and/or proof of rides to complete their application.
  • Bank Info and Proof of Rides Submitted: Your referral has completed their application, and our application team is in the process of reviewing their account.
  • Tablet Delivered – Pending Activation: Your referral has received their tablet, and is all set to start driving with Octopus! Please note: To ensure your referral has received and properly activated their tablet, it is necessary for them to gain some points with Octopus before the referral bonus is paid out.
  • Tablet Activated: Your referral has started using their tablet, and you’ve earned a $25 referral bonus!

Pro Tip: Are you wondering why your referrals are not being approved for Octopus, even though they claim they have finished their application? There is a likely chance the problem is that their “proof of rides” driver logs screenshots have an issue.

Some common issues include:

  • Logs did not show proof of weekly trips or lifetime rides made
  • No logs were provided at all
