You had an experience where an order wasn't delivered because you didn't tip?
YES! a few times. Now I always start with at least a $1 tip for smaller orders and $2 for larger orders...

I've heard they don't get to see the tip amount till after the order was delivered.

I do not believe that is correct. They have the ability to claim orders with higher tips (thats also what the app says).
Also https://www.reddit.com/r/InstacartShoppers/ has plenty of screenshots as well.

Yah that's odd. I asked the customer service, representive when I called. Stating if I give a fifty cents tip, they'll Probably see it as an insult after schlepping ten cases of water and I wouldn't want to be around, When it's delivered.   So the he told me, no, they only get to see the tip amount after it's delivered. They can probably see there was a tip attached, but not the amount. Though I could be wrong.

Just didn't have the time yet to sign up and do a trial run. For example, I know costco has some items Available in the warehouse, but not in the instacart app. Just curious how it works to add such items and how the barcode works. When it generates from instacart to shop using someone else's costco account. 

 Just bought two Instacart gc in store yesterday. Seems I needed to go to a regular checkout line to buy them. As the women assisting in scanning my items in my cart at self checkout told me she'll do it for me at the supervisor desk. But in the future you need to go to a regular checkout.  I wonder if it actually works at self checkout.  And if I can buy more than 2 limit if I do another transaction the same day?

I did the same day Costco for the first time and I see there are no service charges that are charged when doing Costco through Instacart.
How did yours code?

It seems to code as regular Instacart and triggers the credit, I did it through PayPal most recently but assuming it codes the same directly with a credit card. PayPal says that the payment was sent to "help@instacart.com".
So odd that PayPal worked while the cc doesn't seem to be working for Costco same day, to trigger the chase instacrt credit. I'm asking now because my chase cards have an offer avlb for an instacrt purchase and PayPal has a 20% offer that you can clip.

@shmooz did you use a chase card to make the purchase that had the instacrt credit?

Anyone try the PayPal 20% offer? does it actually work? couldn't find much info about it working. Only reason to go the route is its a 1k purchase and instead of me buying 10 Instacrt GC at 80%, i can just go through PayPal and stack with chase 10% offer.
Here's what i found.

Any DP would be apricated.

Too many cards and orders to go back and figure it out. :)

By mistake did not uncheck the instacart credit box. So I still have the offer for one week after applying it. If I leave a tip now, that will go through PayPal, and I'll lose the offer.

It does not list any limit, but I wouldn't try it on a large order because not confident it will work. Costco 80% is for sure.

Seems like a one time offer, so yes, if you use part of it, that would be the end of it. Though I saved it more than once, Meaning it expired and came back again, being that I didn't use it.  I'm very tempted to use it on apple products.
