Earning more from Amazon Flex is mostly about three decisions: when you drive, where you drive from, and what you're willing to accept.

When you drive

Surge pricing rises and falls with demand. Early morning blocks (4–6am), late evenings, weekends, and the days around major retail events tend to surface higher-pay offers. Midday weekday blocks fill quickly at base rate. If your schedule is flexible, scheduling FlexGuru for an early or late window rather than midday usually yields more useful offers.

Where you drive from

Not every station pays the same. Some stations are consistently higher-pay because they're further from population centres or simply harder to staff. Watch your /blocks history for a couple of weeks and you'll see which stations actually pay you what — then filter for those.

What you accept

A higher minimum pay isn't always better. If you set the floor so high that no offers match, your bot has nothing to grab. The right floor is the one that catches enough offers to keep you working without dragging you to blocks you'd regret. Adjust it weekly based on what's actually appearing on /blocks.

What FlexGuru does for you

It scans for offers during your scheduled window, rejects anything that doesn't meet your filter, and accepts what does. It doesn't beat the market — it just reacts faster than you can manually and is willing to scan continuously during your window. Both of those add up over a month, but neither guarantees a specific income level.

Track what's actually happening

The /earnings page in your dashboard shows what the bot has actually grabbed and what you've earned. Use that data to refine your filter and schedule each week. The drivers who get the most out of FlexGuru treat it as an iterative tool, not a set-and-forget switch.
