Same here...does that make us one of the 30 selected or is everyone getting approved?

I didn't get a hard pull. They may have pulled a soft but they definitely didn't pull a soft.

Anyone get their card yet?

received mine today

in nyc - normal rates are 10.25-14.25/hr during the week and the freelancer rate is $8/hr - pretty sweet!

How do you add freelancers account to you account? I don't see that option.

i just emailed them under "contact us" and they did it for me. you do have to be a member of freelancers union because the union have to approve you. once approved it will say that in the "me" section of zipcar website.

they also charged me another $25 annual fee. had to call them to for them to refund me my original $50.
great deal too since most of the cars are $8/60 on weekdays except the bmw. the mini which is normally 89 is 60.

I contacted customer service. here is the reply. No credit till Jul 21st.

Thank you for applying to the Low Car Diet. Participants are still being finalized and that process will continue to take place through July 10. At that time, we will notify all participants of the Low Car Diet kickoff event and grand finale event, along with other important information regarding the Low Car Diet. Because the Low Car Diet is an event that takes place July 21 through August 15, your driving credit will not appear until July 21.

Got mine but still no credit showing in my account.

Looks like the sign up is done:

"Due to popular demand, we are no longer accepting applications for the Low-Car Diet at this time, but be sure and check back here soon to find out how our participants are doing"

Thank you for applying recently on the Zipcar Low Car Diet account. As you may know, this account is reserved for 30 residents of the DC area who will be giving up their cars for a month for our Low Car Diet starting on July 21. Unfortunately, we have already selected our 30 participants, so I'm afraid you will not be able to join Zipcar on this account.

Would you like me to switch you to a regular Zipcar account with the Occasional Driving Plan? The fees associated with that account are a $25 application fee and a $50 annual fee. If you would like to still apply for membership at this time, I'll add a driving credit of $75 to your account that would be good for the first month of membership. Just let me know by 5 pm tomorrow (Wednesday) if you would like to take advantage of this offer, and I will switch your account over. Otherwise, your application will be rejected and account closed.

Regards,
Sarah

Edited to add Sarah can go reject herself.
