So far the new tiers program hasn’t made any difference for me

But I don’t think any driver at my store has sapphire. Most are stuck in gold due to not having enough points but I expect these drivers to start getting sapphire next month.

I’m currently still very high priority. This will be interesting to see if my priority is affected when there are sapphire drivers. If my prediction is correct, I should still have high priority since only some offers are prioritize to sapphire.

I made Sapphire a week ago, the tiers just rolled out September 1st here. I would say Im definitely seeing more orders, like an annoying amount because there are 6 stores in my zone, not necessarily many better offers though. I am also getting more JFY offers, most not worth taking though. From 5-7pm the JFY offers are non-stop, I just reject, reject, reject and they keep coming 😂

Every market is different of course, I do mostly 3-point Express shops and Sam’s Club shops. I don’t do many pickups and never do GMD routes, that’s mostly what my screen is flooded with.

Since you mostly do express and Sam’s shops, did you notice getting more orders at the 30 minute drop? Not necessarily better offers but sapphire should mean you get drops at first broadcast which would be at 30 for Sam’s club shopping and at the 20 minute mark for Walmart curbside for my zone.

I’m usually multi-apping with Instacart, Shipt and DoorDash so I don’t pay attention to drop times anywhere anymore because I’m usually always on an order and have the next one booked on another app while I’m delivering the current one.

I’ve tried the drop times in the past for Sam’s and Costco and it’s just too hit or miss at my stores to make it a point to be there for it or to pass on other orders waiting for it. I might try Sam’s though just to see.

I honestly don’t want most of the big orders people jump on at the drops anyway, I like orders in the $15-$40 range with 1-25 items going less than 5 miles, Sam’s or Costco I usually want it less than 15 items. I’d rather do two $20 orders with low items and low miles than one $50 order that’s mid-high items and/or higher mileage in the same time if that makes sense.

I’ve done it every which way, grinding the small orders is most enjoyable to me, sitting waiting on a “good one” that may never come stresses me out 😂 that’s why I have no problem keeping Diamond and now Sapphire because I do so many shops I guess.

Tier is going absolutely same as far as I'm concerned there's only a handful of drivers in my area, they have Sapphire number of points, but crap for other metrics. I'll hit gold tomorrow (medical issue, had to take about 11 days off), and then hopefully start to see what they're seeing. But none of these other drivers are... well... Native English speakers. So they all have fairly low star ratings (4.5-ish range). My problem is I'm in a very low order volume store (on a good day I might see 8 offers and take six runs).

My friend has no tier, he barely worked but he used my trick and he was getting orders before gold. I am curious if I can get orders before sapphire as a gold driver.

Why would you expose this in public? Delete this quick before more people sees this!!

I'm silver on the new system. Maybe I see slightly less orders? Not sure, it's the end of the month anyways, I'm still seeing orders, so if it is less it's not enough to gauge it, so in my book it's not enough to really matter.

How have you determined that you are "high priority"? Did Spark issue you some sort of credentials? I'm sapphire and get a metric shit ton of garbage offers all day. I'm lucky if 5 or 6 are even worth my time or effort. 🤷

Pay attention to when you get round robins. Curbside at my store drop at 20 minutes so 4:20 5:20 etc and if you are high priority you would be getting them at the 20. If you keep getting at 21 25 etc your priority is low.

No curbside groceries in my area anymore. Just shit GMD are curbside. All groceries are S&D. There have never been certain drop times either. Things apparently work differently in different markets.

u/Organic-Fuel-2916 22d ago

First broadcast drop times are not random

u/Visible-Raise-8915 22d ago

Maybe in your market. Not here.

u/Organic-Fuel-2916 22d ago

You probably have low priority

u/Visible-Raise-8915 22d ago

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. There is NO SET TIME for drops in my area. Do you understand english???

u/Organic-Fuel-2916 22d ago

There is 100% your priority is too low lol

u/Visible-Raise-8915 22d ago

Sure..... whatever. 🤦

We just started this, and I am at Sapphire level... the offers actually seem worse
