Is the amount they credit your account the final amount you are paid or is commission charged on the amount credited?

As an aside, I have noticed some clients adding a note saying "no voucher" or "full fare paid" or some such to some Free Now jobs. Maybe they think service has declined because drivers are made give promo code / voucher discounts?

In my passenger App they gave me a 15% discount to the other 15% and 25% discounts I've yet to use.

Taxi & Ebbs are not connected in business.
Regarding the discounts
If a fare is €10, customer gets charge €9
Drivers pays 10%(or 8 if you have stickers) of the €10, which is €1 so the driver will be given €9

That's interesting, most customers don't know (and 99% don't care) that it is FN that take the hit on discounted fares.
Most likely the customers line of thinking is that they will get a cab faster if they do not use a voucher ?
