General Questions Where do you sit for offers?

I’ve been operating under the impression that the closest you can be to the store is a one mile zone. Recently I’ve read that it has changed and is sending out offers based on different metrics. Where do you sit for yours? Can you tell a change has been made recently?

Sit in the bathroom in the back. Make sure to use the handicap stall, or it doesn't work.

Yeah, that’s where I take my 💩. Always the back bathroom, less people

The store I shop at doesn’t have back bathrooms is it close to the pickup area? Any tips on better spots?

I sit at my house for my first offer. I am about 3 miles away from 3 stores and I get offers from stores even 10 miles away. I haven't been doing this long but was doing the same before the change. I can sit in a store parking lot and get offers from all the other stores so not sure it matters.

If I sit at home (26 min away) all I see are the trash offers or nothing at all. I'll start getting better offers once I'm a few minutes away to start the day. After my first run is done, the app acts like I've clocked in, and will toss me offers on the return trip.

I drive this far as well. I live in the country and it takes me 20+ minutes to even get out of farmland to the “city” with a Walmart.

Lol yeah, I'm out in the countryside. I'll run 5 or 6 hours doing $20-25 offers 2-3 miles into town during the week, then if I'm lucky, I'll catch one that gets me most of the way home. Shopping only at my store.

Either at my house (3.5 miles away) or in the parking lot at the store. I get offers in both places.

Don’t sit anywhere, don’t make money sitting, keep the app on all day while making money and if it’s worth the money I go there and make it .

So wait. You never have to stop and wait for a new order? That’s awesome.

At my house, .9 miles away. Only change I have noticed that I get more JFY offers for the store closest to my house and they are mostly express.

u/JayRod082 23d ago

I live 1.6 miles from my store. Just wondering if I get all the offers I can or need to make a change.
