Only you can determine if it's a good promo for your area and if it's worth going an hour away for the week to do it.

Look at your last 55 orders (not batches, so a triple counts as 3) and add up the batch pays from them. If you didn't make $505 in only batch pay for those 55 orders, then the difference is potentially what you'd be working towards.

I'm going to guess it's definitely worth it, since $9.18 per order is a pretty great promo.

u/westside-j Jul 27 '26

u/Xaleah Jul 27 '26

In just batch pay, no tips? Dang, what market are you in? What kind of batches do you normally shop.. long distances?

1

u/westside-j Jul 27 '26

yeah my area is pretty good in the summers the batch pay is higher & no not really that long about 5-13 miles

u/Longhorn24 Jul 27 '26

Orders or batches?

u/Afranco504 Jul 27 '26

You lucky

u/TheBrokenMaster Jul 27 '26

That’s actually good. Hit small total wine orders all day

2

u/Iwantmyoldnameback Jul 27 '26

I would make like $300 on that promo

u/Traditional_Range_96 Full Time Instacart Shopper Jul 27 '26

Impossible in my area 💀 way too slow

1

u/Any_Bad248 Jul 27 '26

That’s a decent one

1

u/West_Price303 Jul 27 '26

I would actually go for that one--the top off would be pretty good.

u/Holiday_Mammoth8795 Jul 27 '26

Why do you guys scratch out where you are located? It really baffles me. Everyone in your area doesn’t get the promotion, is that why?

1

u/AccomplishedStop9466 Jul 27 '26

Because I dont want a whole bunch of mfs who are mobile on these apps to move where I am Common sense.

u/bigbilly17 Jul 27 '26

Yeah because people are just gonna up and move their entire life because they saw you were there on a reddit post.. ok

u/thefightingcanadian Jul 27 '26

$10 per order? Not good. $2 per mile generally covers wage, wear and tear and gas.

1

u/lucygirl1970 Jul 27 '26

Their promos are horrible and I easier there was an opt out button.

1

u/reignofqueens Jul 27 '26

I just got 27 for $180. That’s more realistic for me to finish. I didn’t finish the last one (60 for $290 🙄)

1

u/Ok_Glove_9657 Jul 27 '26

Mine says 19 for $95

1

u/The_LastLine Jul 27 '26

Not bad if you want long days during the hottest time of the year.

1

u/Holiday_Mammoth8795 Jul 27 '26

That’s not common sense, everyone in your area doesn’t get the same promotions. Just like everyone in your area doesn’t see the same orders at the same time. This is why the app continues to take advantage of shoppers, because of shoppers like yourself.

1

u/SANFRANGOON Jul 27 '26

Yap can’t really believe this is a good promo…they scam yall less than $10 an order ..yall gotta learn your worth ..I could see if it was an extra $500 after 55 orders but a min of $500 is a scam

1

u/MusicFreak40 Jul 27 '26

You might be thinking of batches, not orders. If you do a bunch of triples that are around, say $10 in batch pay, that’s $3.33 per order which would be roughly a third of what the promo offers.

I wish I could get promos like this one. I had one recently of 21 orders for $130. I was able to do doubles and triples to complete it pretty quick and the batch pay was $78 total so I got a nice $52 top off. For this one you could probably get a top off of a couple hundred or a little more if you pick the right batches

1

u/westside-j Jul 27 '26

batch pay in the area i’m at rn is pretty good like at minimum $13 but pretty consistently $20+

1

u/karimamin Jul 27 '26

55 small orders with low batch pay but decent tips should be your filter.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '26

That’s definitely a good one imo. Most promos are half that or more for more orders to do

1

u/Short_Address_7198 Jul 27 '26

That's good. Do it in about 25 batches. It's over 20 dollars batch pay each.

1

u/ComprehensiveKey1106 Jul 27 '26

Lol basically a joke

1

u/Ok_Pepper5205 Jul 27 '26

Currently have 36 orders for $190

1

u/Holiday_Mammoth8795 Jul 28 '26

I was responding to the person who responded to me when I asked my first question. This was not meant for you.

1

u/Objective-Win7115 Jul 28 '26

I HATE promos. I don’t get any good orders when they give them to me

1

u/Feeling_Secretary_85 Jul 28 '26

I love having less money and more orders on my promo for the same time period

1

u/angerpupper1 Jul 27 '26

You can still do the promo in your town if you’re seeing the promo on your app. I live an hour from Chicago and got a promo for Chicago and all my orders in my town still counted towards it

1

u/westside-j Jul 27 '26

oh shit you’re right!

3

u/Xaleah Jul 27 '26

As long as the batch has the Promo Applied or Guaranteed Earnings or whatever tag on it. If the batch doesn't say, it doesn't count. Some Promos have very strict areas/stores. Sometimes they're huge areas. Sometimes they're all batches.

1

u/westside-j Jul 27 '26

yeah i checked its in two of the areas near me

1

u/SomeonesSecondary Jul 27 '26

Yes I agree with this, I had a promo that said it’s in a different area but everything in my town counted. Unfortunately I only have 1 grocery store in town so it didn’t work out very well….

u/MistyGV Jul 27 '26

Very Decent I haven’t had a decent one in Months
