How Promo Codes Work for Cash Orders

Promo codes are rider-facing discounts, but they do not reduce your earnings.

What are Promo Codes?

When a rider uses a promo code, Bolt applies the discount automatically in the app. You don’t need to calculate anything or adjust the fare yourself.

What You’ll See During the Trip

The payment page will show you that a promo code is applied to the ride. “Bolt pays to your balance”

What to Collect From the Rider

• Only collect the amount shown under “Collect cash from the passenger” at the end of the trip. • DO NOT COLLECT the discounted portion “Bolt pays to your balance” covered by the promo code.

How Your Earnings Are Paid

If a rider uses a promo code: • Bolt covers the discounted amount • The promo value is reimbursed to you automatically • Your trip payout remains the same • The amount will appear under “Rider cash discounts” under balance

Important Reminders

• To avoid confusion, we recommend following the amount shown in the app and not requesting any additional payment related to promo discounts. • Any fare-related questions (for example, tolls or adjustments) can be checked in the app or clarified with Bolt Support after the trip. • Requesting payment outside the app may lead to misunderstandings and affect the rider’s experience. • If the fare or payout seems unclear, you may complete the trip first and review the final fare breakdown in the app, or reach out to Bolt Support for clarification.
