One thing I have noticed is my metrics are affected when I reject certain orders. My area tends to have quite a few 8-14 stop package deliveries going 17-41 miles. They usually pay a little over $1 dollar a mile but put you far out from the store. Not only that the time it says they will take is usually way off in the app. The app will send you these over and over requiring you to continuously reject them. Last few days this happened and I went from 80% acceptance to 52.

[@factsmatter1172]

Don't let it get you that low. As soon as you see a trend of low ball offers. Pick another area and go there and keep doing it until you figure out a fair area if not great area. What I mean by that is an area where the pay is doable for you.

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

There's definitely something wrong with the Acceptance rate... I notice mine going down over night while the app isn't even on makes no sense...

[@katiedavis9626]

Thank goodness it’s not just me. My acceptance rate tanked this week and I’ve accepted an order from my offers almost every time. What is going on??!!

[@katiedavis9626]

It went down another 10% today and I didn’t even turn spark on

[@donnarodgers6709]

I agree insane they need to do better. I take crap orders and reject ones 45 minutes away went from 96 to 39 in 1 weekend

[@wascalywabbit]

Charge cable... I got off eBay one that comes with 3 phone plug tips and a cable... it's magnetic, you won't be stabbing your phones chargport to death...

[@factsmatter1172]

[@user-yi1tn2uy9d]

Doesn’t matter to me how long of a video you post, I’ll watch all of it. I like to see how things are in your area. I’m on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and I also deliver.

[@Missippidashing]

Thanks for watching! My family lives on the coast in pass Christian, and my wife’s folks live in Diamond head! Love it down there!

[@user-hf2qw9wf6r]

Hey, I noticed something new about the pick up time change. If eta is 3:15pm, but you start the trip and arrive at the parking spot 3:04pm, it will Not populate extra pay until 3:25pm, interesting...

[@sherylgreen3212]

Congratulations what a wonderful blessing your art work is amazing yes please do a video on delivering for spark

Congratulations on your artwork. It’s a good feeling to see your work validated. And.. Ice skating by yourself…nice lol.

[@Missippidashing]

I end up doing a lot by my self sometimes. My hobbies don’t include a cell phone. So, teens aren’t usually any where around. 😂

[@Missippidashing]

[@MsTS-qr8ht]

Congratulations with your artwork! Soooo happy for you.

[@CocosKrazyLife]

keep up the great work! your energy is contagious :)! i would love to see a 40 hr work week

[@keashajohnson8589]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Enjoy. Thank you for sharing your gig work ideas with us very helpful

[@4ResQPets]

How about a 30 hour week and then a 40. Whats the difference? Is it worth the extra 10 hours? :)

[@cotodhotsprings1845]

I would offer that the long wait times might be the result of the store being short staffed especially since you seem to get a lot of shop & delivery offers. The stores in my area have short wait times in general and they have limited shopping offers. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Keep the Spark videos coming.

[@susanholland3956]

Congratulations! Your artwork is amazing! Looking forward to seeing 20ish hr weekday spark video. Don't work your entire week off though. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@grounds4life]

[@Missippidashing]

[@lindaedge6674]

[@Missippidashing]

Hope flex goes well! I wanna try it in the future! Have a great holiday! Happy Christmas!

[@tommas2674]

oh just thought today I got a couple to sign for, no picture needed.

[@sarasue56]

Merry Christmas and congrats with your art show

[@ScareHollow]

In my zone in East Dallas it has all of a sudden for the past week week and a half the orders are coming out in about 30 after the hour for 45 after the hour pickup. And then of course shopping delivers and bulk are random. The bulk pickups have been coming in closer to the 10 after the hour. But I've noticed that I've had several days where I can literally do one drop an hour at the 45 and I'm back by about 20 after I sit for a few minutes I get the notification and I get my timer order. They are all timer orders that I've been getting and of course my acceptance rate has gone up even though it doesn't matter

[@kldegeyter]

Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 Happy New Year 🎊 Thanks for always sharing these videos. I like your positive vibes. I just started Spark last Tuesday and did some orders here and there. I am off Tuesday and Wednesday . Those will be 2 full days of Spark. I amd excited to see how much I can make. Can't wait to see the art work. Catch ya later 👍

[@tommas2674]

do they appreciate when sparklers shop and deliver, they save their bread/eggs/ fruit...

[@brendaloyd907]

So if we unassign after 30 mins. It doesn’t hurt our metrics and we make money ? How do we know we’ve made it to 30 mins or do we need to watch it ?

[@Missippidashing]

You’ll know by the pickup time. For example, my order today was for a pickup at 2:50. By 3:20 they had not rolled out the order. So, 30 minutes later, and I canceled. Just watch the clock from your pickup time!

[@maxi-me]

Just make sure you've arrived at curbside within 5 minute grace period of listed time; over 5 also disqualifies you from the extra earnings for wait, even if you get the message. (Just learned that)

[@denawebster7287]

After my check in, I set my timer on my Apple watch for 30 minutes. I've got a few Walmarts in my area, so if I notice one store is starting to have long wait times, I move to a different Walmart.

[@maxi-me]

@denawebster7287 Same. I'm learning how to monitor the customer app. The zone metrics in spark appear to originate from the _Magic 8 Ball_ 🤣

[@terarosen7909]

I wish you the best with the artwork venture. And a 30 hr or 40 hr week I’d like to see. I need to do it too and see what I can get

[@MichaelWest1701]

Did $122 today 😊

[@babsblan]

I went out Friday... first time in my new car😁 In 6 hours running Instacart and Spark...I did 2 whole deliveries and made approximately $30.👎🏼

[@Missippidashing]

New car! You and I are in the same boat. I’ll be coming home with a truck this weekend!

[@babsblan]

@@Missippidashing Yay! Mine is only new to me, but I was able to pay cash for it and it's much nicer than my old one! It is a blessing indeed!

[@tommas2674]

oh how do I stop my app from freezing up while shopping, I scan product app goes down, I have to restart my phone???

[@user-jz4hd3jv6p]

your choice. i just want to see how it goes. I am currently waiting to hear if i am accepted to deliver. I have been hearing that it takes a while to get accepted. is this true

[@scottb6098]

Took me 9 months , no joke

[@tommas2674]

I do not know how you get them. firstly with that first order 30 minute shopping, bagging, loading, 30 minute drive, unload and 30 minutes back is 24.?? enough? So, my town 5 Walmart's within or at 5 miles of me, I go on at 8am, nothing, the other day I chased them 20 miles on the car no orders. Then I sat at one of them the next day watching drivers come in get loaded leave new bunch come in get loaded leave...all the while all I was getting was the same NO ONE WANTED order, bad, I finally took it 2:03 be there, I was already there, 35 minutes later Still playing around with the order of 17 drop offs some very big some not, added, took away, added drops, Dropped the money, The people loading the cars NOTICED, but spark/walmart found a way to screw me out of money, so many excuses. I went into the wood far off, like Deliverance country, then in the dark out there no lights no reflectors on anything, goat paths for roads, but always Big trucks speeding and the other speeders around bends that one catches up with their tail end. That was the ONLY order spark was going to let me have. The other day talking with a rep at spark, I called and said I have been on all morning, they said "We ASSIGNED assigned YOU two" Assigned?! They did not come through on my end, anyway. ??? One of the nice things about shopping is I can bag them right. Today with a p/u the person put a bag of ice on my front seat, smh. a huge order, a big order and front seat and floor a big order called them small. how about the gps spark uses: the address becomes a mystery, and just turn in 500 or whatever feet no street / road names, ... then they want you to designate a smilie/ frowny face, and you have to do all sorts of shenanigans to get to an address/apt # what have you. ??? anyone else?

[@tommas2674]

oh but today best day ever if I don't get stiffed on the tips 40.00 all day.

[@tommas2674]

Congratulations !
