Walmart Spark can be a game changer. Here's why...

- I've been looking for that third app to really support me in my money making ways. Walmart Spark COULD be the answer, but so far, it's not. Why do I think that about Walmart Spark? Especially after making an extra $100 from incentives?

Spark too slow in most markets
I can't even download Spark. Maybe the shape of things to come for my experience with it...
I had 8 late deliveries last week where I didn’t see any notifications of being late!
Sams order is 20miles+ for like 20$.
You found the upside app by now tho right. It's in the instacart app by your cart standings
Yeah but in my area it doesn't really offer much in the way of fuel discounts. I get more off by using my Amazon Flex card in conjunction with the Dino app (gas station specific app).
Spark has gotten horrible in my market. Everyone orders bargain cheap stuff that is out of stock. And 3/5 of customers pull tip back for whatever reason. I made $2k in 2 weeks. Now incentives dried up and tips are suspect. You see a $15 tip. It's highly likely it's a tip bait. There's no consequences for customers to zero out their tip after delivery. They have 24 hours to take out their life frustrations out on you because they can't afford anything but great value hot dog buns.
I've noticed on my end that a couple times tips on certain orders would disappear but would reappear a few days later as their own separate thing. It sucks the incentives dried up though. Right now we have a bunch of promotion incentives going on that are paying out a lot. It almost sounds like a bad market.
Once the tip is posted it should be that cause its wrong to bait but I've been noticing that the customer put in a order and they have been charged for the items and they don't get the items cause it's out of stock but Walmart still charges them then the customer has to get back online and call Walmart and say hey I didn't receive some stuff but you still billed me then the customer has to wait 24hr till the money goes back that's probably why are tips are being short
Time for you to change zones. Find a market that's upper middle class/rich and test out the Walmarts in those places. I get $17-$25 tips almost every day I work in my area. Always go where the money is... Upper middle class, rich, and wealthy people will appreciate you as long as you deliver their shit on time.
@@curtp6718 and then I'll get orders for 10min from a store that's 20min away and if I don't take those my acceptance rating will go down...Even if I let the timer run out the rating goes down sparks wants us to take every order they send us we are independent drivers we get the ones we want so I think we shouldn't be penalized
@@louismfrancojr2462 Nah bro. Contact support and tell them to block the Walmarts you don't want to get notifications from. They'll block if you ask. I had to do that for a couple of stores in my zones. Now I only get offers from 2 stores roughly 5 miles a part.
I have never got incentives or get offered incentives... well only for home depot and those aren't worth it for the $ verses mileage. I typically average $1000 a week on spark alone and only work 5-6 hours a day.
Where you located ? That’s amazing ! I have disabilities and was wondering how many hours I need to work a day . I’d be happy w $500/wk.

@@tarahflanders2102 ah ok busy area I bet . Thx for reply !
@@jaykayel_silva I'm in Colorado Springs so it's not too big if an area but there is walmart within 5 miles of me in each direction so I'm sure that helps
no one ever talks about gas cost.
This is going to be a make or break situation for this industry.
Spark got real slow for me after Memorial Day but has picked back up now. Sunday, Father’s Day was crazy busy, I’m still seeing incentives as well, 6 months into this app.
I just avoid holidays altogether. For me it's never worth working when I could just take the day off and relax.
We need a better way to track tips. How do we know that Spark is not keeping our tips? Case in point: this morning an offer came up for 2 deliveries at 9.00. I checked the addresses to see if the mileage looked correct. While I was doing that, the offer expired. But, minutes later, I got another offer for 2 deliveries for 19.00. Guess what; it was the same 2 addresses I had previously seen. So, was the first offer low because Spark was keeping the tip, or did Spark plea with the customer to add a tip? Whatever the case, it looks fishy.
These yt walmart vids have caused me to register for Spark last week. Still waiting to get activated. Hoping to make what you youtubers make!! If so, I may change careers.
It’s all market dependent. Right now mine is garbage, but I’m hoping it’ll get better as time goes on since it just launched
Have you been approved to drive yet?
@@slimj82 Not yet!
@@20020406 one more question is it normal not to be able to log into the spark app until you're approved or is that just me having issues logging in?
@@slimj82 I don't know if it's normal, but I also cannot log into the Spark app. I can only log into the DDI account.
Dash cam and go pro are a must if you're going to do Spark.
You will eventually get one of those customers that thinks they can get something free out of making a claim against you.
So document your trips with video evidence of your innocence.
Got deactivated for no reason at all have all documents signed never used airplane mode just a heads up I wouldn't rely on this as being main income
Your beard cool. Just subscribed.
Thank you! Myabe I won't trim it up this summer and let it flow :)
Just finished my first week with spark. Pretty decent here in Philadelphia pa. My one complaint has been that, pretty consistently if you get an order that says, “getting ready” it never seems to switch to ready. At this point, if i get one that says that, i just cancel. I wont even wait to see.
It could be the store or it could be the system messing up. I've had orders brought out to me that were still "getting ready". If it's the store most of the time it's because they are behind and still picking the items.
We appreciate your time and insight! God Keep you, your loved ones, both on & off road!!
Sweet $100 incentive
My town only has one Walmart, the nice thing is they're faster than the average Walmart. Pickups normally take about 5 minutes. They dispatch through Spark and DD too.
Same here, except mine dispatches through Spark and Point Pickup. Our store does really well but they suffer from call outs, system issues, and manager issues just like every other Walmart is this country. I'm usually nice to them unless they are ignoring me because their system says I'm still a few minutes out.
Ok your first stop was at gridly than you drove up to Chico that’s a long drive with the gas price’s . I live in Sacramento I didn’t know how much your getting from Amazon nice video thanks for sharing.
It can turn into A LOT of driving when I'm working Amazon Flex. If I was forced to use Flex I could make it work, but the gas prices are making me tap out. I'm hoping once prices come back down I can go back to it :)
They should not have customers sign our phone! People are coming to the door saying they don’t feel well. Or coughing makes me mad!
I never let them touch it, no matter what the app says. I'll make a line for them and if for some reason the customer doesn't like it, they can call Walmart and take it up with them.
@@Ride980 ya after yesterday I’m gonna start other lady came out coughing in my face! I’ll be damn lucky if I don’t end up sick by the end of the week!
I don’t care if people cough I know there’s other germs out there but in my area placer county cases are high!!!!! Just don’t cough in my freaking face!
They only have to sign if they (the customer) has claimed to not receive a delivery but I picture was provided by the driver. Signatures are required if they have gotten some sort of refund for a previous delivery.
People are scared of there own germs get over it
Green Hill zone sonic the hedgehog tunes again
Can't go wrong with the classics
How do you go about separating all those orders? I just feel like I wouldn't have enough room
Carefully. With Walmart I'll use my grubhub bags to separate orders. If one order is simply too big I'll put one order up front and fill my trunk with the other.
YA NOOOOOO ITS AWFUL
Dang, all my flex deliveries are around 40 packages, never got 2 or 10... I wish
I never count on days like that. It's just awesome when it happens, lol
Same. Though once I had a 3 1/2 block with 9 drops that took every second of 3 1/2 hours. The problem with Flex is in one of the warehouses there are so many Private Roads where the driveway looks like a 🦖 pissed on the top of the hill and the erosion is the driveway! I can’t replace friggin suspension parts every dang month. On nonfinished driveways can we call those ‘Unsafe’ and return pkg to warehouse?
wht about health insurance wht do u do for tht?
I paid for Medi CAL, an insurance plan California offers for a discounted price.
Flex life has its moments. In DFW area 3 hrs block can be as much as 30 pkgs. Sometimes you can get the small orders. Thanks for the video share.
My favorite delivery was picking up a $122 block and delivering one package, lol
Those last minute surge blocks are nice. Then finding only for a single is icing on the cake.. But do those rare occasions make up for crap apartment deliveries? Haha
Love these videos.
Ayyy shoutout to nor cal fam
Hell yeah! But I hate the heat, lol
Why do u think gas prices are so high 😲
Capitalism
@@JohnMikaelian Wdym?😲😲
Lots of different reasons. The way definitely has an effect but I won’t pretend to know the exact reasons. My main issue is California refusing to pausing a huge gas tax and opting to give car owners stimulus checks.
Russia. Prices started rising after the Ukraine invasion started. Plus, the US stopped importing oil from Russia. Prices are going to get crazy af if hurricanes start hitting the US.
Because rich assholes are refusing to pump more to try and mess with the market plus make up what they lost from dumping oil during Covid when no one could go anywhere andddddd because political reasons they couldn’t care less how negatively they affect average people
🔥
The Walmarts near me take anywhere from half an hour to nearly 2 hours to bring out an order. Not to mention the wait time for the initial check-in. They often have only 2-3 employees assigned to handle orders for anywhere from 10-20 drivers simultaneously. Even worse around the holidays. 2+ hour waits for your order to be ready to deliver.
I hate you that u get to do Amazon flex in the mornings here in Fresno only Amazon comes out after 2pm and it's hard 106$ for 50miles not worth it
I enjoyed it while I could. I think they pushed their times back from 8am to 10:30 am. But right now flex is too expensive to run 😂
@@Ride980 I've been doing Spark for a month now last week I hit the 1,000$ week but this week is slow cause they keep posting ads and say they need drivers there gonna jack it all up like PPUP and Door dash is now there is to many drivers not enough orders again
I would love a 5-10 block every morning! Not worth it though for only $90
how do you sign up to be an Amazon Delivery
Look up Amazon Flex on google and sign up from there. Depending on your area you may or may not be put on a wait list.
Where did u get that jacket???
From the Amazon warehouse. They give them out for free to drivers... IF you need one. lol
I can never get on spark its so full down here I just do point pickup
No
😃🙏
yea the more people signing up the less jobs you will get doesn't last.
We just got shop and deliver in town… so far it’s still been really well but yeah, I’m waiting for things to level off as more sign up for spark.
Why doesn't Amazon Flex pay California adjustment like spark does. Do you know how the California adjustment works?
I believe they do, but when someone like me gets a 4 hour block done in 3 hours, what would they have to cover? I got paid an hour to technically do nothing, lol. Plus rates up here (right now) are actually really high.
