Got almost $100 worth of just tips and rollover tips without even needing to have worked at all that day XD I just love seeing the rollover tips come in starting a new work week on Monday.
Spark is still stealing my tips I knew a customer personally spark said they took the tip away I called the customer and they said they didn't take the tip off, I told spark, the next day on a Friday only received 2 orders the whole day spark, they stole 10$ on Saturday they stole 17$ on Sunday they took another 10$, I down a 80$ this week, yall better pay close attention to yall money this ish sad gas to high, I not dropping of 2 order for 10$, total since I started spark im down a little over 1000$
@@mikewallace3046 Man. I guess it depends on your market. I drive 1 hour to the Charlotte area and make sure that I'm in typically wealthy neighborhoods whenever I can. This helps in ensuring that you keep your tips. Also, good customer service is also a must.
I make between $1500-$2000 per week doing Walmart orders. On average, I do between 9-11 trips per day. Way better than food delivery in my area. It all depends on your area, people tip pretty well where I live.
This is very true. I signed up for Walmart Spark cause my area has 2 super stores and 3 neighborhood stores. Unfortunately Spark isn’t hiring in my area
I make the same. I live about 1.8 miles from Walmart. He's right it depends on where you live. The people in my area tip really good also. It's nothing to see tips for 25-35 dollars. I also work 7 days a week to get these numbers. You have to work hard. It's not easy but it's definitely possible.
I totally agree. I live in Maine, we have 2 walmart's within 10 miles of each other. I waste a lot more gas driving for uber eats, grubhub and doordash. I sit at home and wait for the offer (I live right in between each store) and get enough decent order offers a day to do 10 deliveries a day. I find that up here in Maine, our dollars per mile ratio are above average (consistently$2.25-$3.50). Walmart spark to me has been more worthwhile because I rarely wait whereas the restaurants up here are so short staffed that you end up having long waits on a VERY regular basis. So for me, I feel it has been a lot more convenient, dollars per mile are good, mostly pickup orders and I have gotten consistent incentive pay since starting. I do believe your location has a lot to do with whether it's worth it or not. It takes me like 5 to 7 minutes to arrive at either store.
I live about a mile away from a Walmart. They don't have many orders and the tips generally are not larger than $7 if anything. There are several other Walmarts in the same zone but usually the mileage there and back doesn't make i try worth it. I'll often see 30-50 batched orders. I haven't bothered with those. So i see spark as extra money rather than doing it exclusively.
It always seems like no matter what apps you try; rideshares, last mile, long-haul, dog walking, handyman, whatever … for most drivers simply getting good at multiapping the main food delivery apps is the simplest, most reliable and profitable way to go.
I've had mostly good luck and experiences with Spark since I started last month. I will call driver support in the morning, to find out how many deliveries my local stores will have and decide if it's worth it. I will turn it on while making my DD/Eats runs and if I'm local enough and the pay works for the miles, then I'll take it. Add the incentives if I can to make it even better. I'm one of those that lives about 8 miles from the closest Walmart, but in all fairness, most restaurants are almost 4 miles before they start getting dense. I just try to get into town and not go towards home until I'm clocking out. Thanks for the vid!
What is really doing well for me is the DoorDash Shoprite orders. For those of u in the NJ/pa markets. I routinely see $11 for 3.5 miles total. And the employees at these stores are very high speed. In and out quick. And my new strategy of only going 3 miles or less while staying at home waiting for great offers has produced over $800 in earnings. I’m never going back to taking long offers ever again
The only issue is sometimes the Walmart is 7 miles from you where you are, they only disclose the pickup to the customer. Sometimes it's 10 mi $12 not 2 miles $12
I have a question. Does spark have magnetic signs for our cars to identify us? I have gone up to houses that are very private and they don't know who I am and their spouses don't tell them they ordered. It can get a little dangerous out there.
I like the batch orders. One pickup and 12 drops. Small orders of 1-5 items sealed in a shipping bag. The app is very efficient with routing and it’s impossible to drop the order at the wrong address because you tell it you’re there and then scan the barcode. If all matches up, you leave it there.
I'm talking about if you got a special for $5 for each trip that day and you have a batch with that many orders and you only get $5 for 10 orders at once instead of $50.
@@Yaak18 sometimes, the address on the arrived location on the map is different from the customer's address number. Always double check the actual address number on the spark app before you deliver them.
I’m over 50 trips now and with incentives I’m averaging $130-140 a day. A lot depends on your area. I have 7 stores giving out orders so it’s pretty much nonstop for me. I rarely do the other apps now.
Spark is still stealing my tips I knew a customer personally spark said they took the tip away I called the customer and they said they didn't take the tip off, I told spark, the next day on a Friday only received 2 orders the whole day spark, they stole 10$ on Saturday they stole 17$ on Sunday they took another 10$, I down a 80$ this week, yall better pay close attention to yall money this ish sad gas to high, I not dropping of 2 order for 10$, total since I started spark im down a little over 1000$
Does the app show you your path before confirming deliver? I live right by a Walmart and was thinking I could try to get a Walmart delivery to take me to my food delivery spot.
A question Mike, on spark, I don't live near a Walmart it is about 10 to 20 miles away about 20 to 30 minutes to Walmart that particpates on Spark. I turned on spark now at home and I chose an offer and I drive to Walmart and it is late. Should I drive over to Walmart and then spark now and wait for offers at the parking lot? Is this how it is done? I am not sure.
You should drive to Walmart and turn on Spark now so you don't run the risk of being late. And you should pick days that are busy to deliver so it's worth your time. And take advantage of bonus days
Only bad thing is the orders are pulled extremely slow in my area. Not sure if theyre understaffed but 20-30 min wait just kills my bottom line. Door dash you can make 100 bucks in 4 hours if you hustle
NEWSFLASH!!! SPARK has sent out an email advising of RESTAURANT delivery. A Las Vegas driver received it, I have not. Nothing showing in app notifications.

While you can depends in the year every app requires a certain year or newer. Also on top of that it's up to Walmart to deni you the orders. If they think your vehicle is to dirty they may decline tk give you the order. Also I wouldn't recommend doing this in a truck they use so much gas that you won't make much to anything if not loose money.
I think Spark is stealing tips again. Back in the summer I thought customers were tip baiting. Then in October one morning I had over 300 dollars extra in my earnings. It was tips dating back from early July. And in the last couple of weeks it started again I'm receiving tips from September and October "customers who didn't tip". I also noticed in my earnings "under tips" the last couple of days customers who didn't tip because it says zero so I know who's tip baiting. So keep track of all your tips.
$3 is a super low tip for spark. Imagine that same offer with $10 $15 $20 tip doing restaurants along the way. A 2 stop grocery order paying $45 and 2 $10 Uber eats orders along the way. In an hour
Screw that. I get Uber Eats and Door Dash going at the same time and almost always make 25 plus an hour. Restaurants are everywhere. There's only so many walmarts in your area.
I have 4 walmarts within 10 minutes of each other 2 home depot's about 10 minutes apart and 1 Sam's club right next to the walmart so for me everything is close. If I have to wait in between I just turn on my food apps until I get another order.
The option for customers to take back the tip isn't fair...did my first set of deliveries today an order for 33.47 ended being reduced to 14.77 ( that was two drop offs 30+ items each customer) No Bueno....Alabama isn't hitting yet
I live in an area where I am less than 5 minutes from a Walmart and that Walmart’s orders takes me to the area of the next closest Walmart. The only issue I run into is doing orders that are far from that Walmart far at the wrong time of day and I end up having to take a long time driving back due to traffic. I try not to do those during that time. If I do I use my other apps to see if I can get myself back towards that area. Like use a gig to be “clocked in” to drive back. In California you’re paid for your time while active on app - min wage in city plus 20% and .53 per mile on top of that. every two weeks it shows up on our pay statements and it can def be a lot. But for Spark I’m very selective with setting the “spark on” during peak times checking the “zone” and seeing if the Walmarts show they are “hot” or with Plus $5. Usually after 15-20 past the hour is when the best orders come in. But i always check the zone radar before setting the spark on. Saves a lot of your acceptance rate I think 🤔.
I want to do Spark. So there are 4 Walmart's within 7 miles of my house ( 2 within 3 miles, 2 within 7 miles). And all the major roads are straight and flat layed out in a prefect grid, which I think is a plus for deliveries. I guess we'll see.
I am in the Sumner, TN zone. This is outside of Nashville and even includes part of Nashville despite Nashville technically not being in Sumner County. Normally Walmart Spark would not be worth it to me. However, I live within 5 miles of two Walmarts and 10 miles from a third one. Also, the bonuses are fire down here. If EITHER ONE of those factors were different, I would not be doing Spark. However, my proximity to multiple stores and the bonuses make Spark able to rival my Uber Rideshare bonuses during the week. Tuesday-Thursday Spark is better for me than even Rideshare because I do not have to drive as far or fight as much traffic. Friday-Monday I do Uber. Spark has replaced Doordash for me so far. Another plus is that the way my zone is shaped, deliveries almost always end with me near another Walmart.
Anyone have problems completing your stacked bonuses for Spark? Almost as if on days where a particular store has a stacked bonus going they turn off orders and send nothing out, then on days where there are no bonuses it’s like orders non stop lol. Or is that just me?
Thats because the bonuses incurrage more drivers so some times bonuses can actually hurt your earning then help. It'd like that on just about ever app they give a bonus that's actually good the orders will get harder to get because everyone and there mother will be logged on to try and get orders to meet it.
@@monkeytoung that’s a great point never thought about it like that, makes sense too for me because my acceptance rating got major dropped from a sort of update glitch in the app so seems like offers are going out to others first. But goes to show boost your acceptance rating to get more offers and better chance at completing tough bonuses.
@@LA-dh1bq I used to care about my acceptance rate till I realized the better it was the worse the offer got. They just assumed I'd take anything with such a high acceptance rate. I personally made 3 to 4 times rhe amount having a lower acceptance rate.
@@monkeytoung interesting guess it would depend on how low, I was stuck at 2 percent for a couple months straight so I wasn’t doing very good myself, but I’m at about 30 percent now so I do get some good offers on occasion, but when I was at 90 plus percent I was getting 70 curbside orders on occasion and regular 40 plus offers but haven’t seen anything like that since though now I only get teens to 30ish offers. Just my personal experience, with Spark anyways DD Uber etc I don’t care about my rating.
@@LA-dh1bq for me I just noticed I was getting more shopping orders and more express when I was a lower rating. Which I'd prefer to do both of those anyway my own time in and out less trouble less hassle. Non of this wait till 45 on the hour bs.
I thought I could multi app. But my sparks acceptance rate gotten pretty LOW. even if those offers expires, it will affect rate. Also kind of sad that you actually have to contact support when an order was canceled and ya have to ask them to remove it. Which affects time.
I’ve done 19 spark trips so far and made just over $500 for a $26 per trip average. I’m pretty happy with it and now DoorDash is my secondary gig. I do enjoy 5-6 Walmart/Sam’s in my locale. 🙂 Update: The Honeymoon is over, after about 3 months my good orders are gone. No more extra effort pay. Now I've gone back to Doordash as a primary gig because for $8.00 I'd rather deliver Taco Bell than 20 bags of groceries that I had to wait 20 minutes for them to bring to my car. Spark is begging me to come back but I'll probably delete the app. Too bad because I was a great Sparker.
New drivers get priority. Take advantage while you still can. I completed 19 trips this week and barely cracked $400. Stay humble, collect that coin. Don’t get cocky.
I have a friendly brotherly request, can you make specific video/videos about San Diego specially ? For example, what is the good strategy or strategies that we can follow ? What places you think is the best ? What is the advantages and disadvantages of each place ? For instance, Pacific Beach, do you prefer it or not ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of dashing in Pacific Beach ? Another example, Mission Vally, do you think it’s the best place to park and dash from ? What are your strategies ? That’s what I mean .. For me, I live in the East Area, Santee, La Mesa, El Cajon, Spring Vally, please let me know either with a comment or a video that be more specific .. Thank You very much 😊👍🏻
I did 3 orders this weekend made 122 I only in store pickup less chance of getting big items. But my second batch I had to lug 9 bags of rock salt so that sucked but overall not bad. I had my pick of the litter when they would come up in getting to choose from 7-8 at a time. Live in SA so we have 20 Walmarts and several sams club so I’m gonna stick with it for a bit and see what happens.
Hi Mike I started doing spark and I have to say the base pay is not bad. But how does Walmart pays drivers in delivering groceries to customers for free if they just spend $35 and a $98 membership fee? Is this just like paying employees at Walmart at a job? How do they profit from delivery? I can see much more customers are requesting deliveries and it has been very busy. I had done a few 12 batch deliveries and I think it sucks. It is long drives and it pays like $4 to $5 a customer.

It is fun ! I drive for spark part time right now along with my full time job to try it out !
Amen ! The tips are amazing in the area I live in our Spark Driver’s average $800-$1000 per week in southern Missouri
Even if you live across the street from Walmart it’s 7.1 miles out and 7.1 miles back so that’s a 14.2 mile run.

There's no way I'd accept an order of 133 items for $19.65 (the $3 tip isn't guaranteed) lol...that's a dud, bro...

I just tried to sign up for Spark in Columbus ohio and it says "FULL" for all area's of Columbus. Don't know how I would be able to get on there.

You should drive to Walmart and turn on Spark now so you don't run the risk of being late. And you should pick days that are busy to deliver so it's worth your time. And take advantage of bonus days

Tuesday-Thursday Spark is better for me than even Rideshare because I do not have to drive as far or fight as much traffic. Friday-Monday I do Uber. Spark has replaced Doordash for me so far. Another plus is that the way my zone is shaped, deliveries almost always end with me near another Walmart.
Hell No
Nooo
I have been doing Walmart for 3 years.
Forget buddy this job is not even worth it also they keep taking our tips :(
Click bate!!
Anyone have problems completing your stacked bonuses for Spark? Almost as if on days where a particular store has a stacked bonus going they turn off orders and send nothing out, then on days where there are no bonuses it’s like orders non stop lol. Or is that just me?
Thats because the bonuses incurrage more drivers so some times bonuses can actually hurt your earning then help. It'd like that on just about ever app they give a bonus that's actually good the orders will get harder to get because everyone and there mother will be logged on to try and get orders to meet it.
@@monkeytoung that’s a great point never thought about it like that, makes sense too for me because my acceptance rating got major dropped from a sort of update glitch in the app so seems like offers are going out to others first. But goes to show boost your acceptance rating to get more offers and better chance at completing tough bonuses.
@@LA-dh1bq I used to care about my acceptance rate till I realized the better it was the worse the offer got. They just assumed I'd take anything with such a high acceptance rate. I personally made 3 to 4 times rhe amount having a lower acceptance rate.
@@monkeytoung interesting guess it would depend on how low, I was stuck at 2 percent for a couple months straight so I wasn’t doing very good myself, but I’m at about 30 percent now so I do get some good offers on occasion, but when I was at 90 plus percent I was getting 70 curbside orders on occasion and regular 40 plus offers but haven’t seen anything like that since though now I only get teens to 30ish offers. Just my personal experience, with Spark anyways DD Uber etc I don’t care about my rating.
@@LA-dh1bq for me I just noticed I was getting more shopping orders and more express when I was a lower rating. Which I'd prefer to do both of those anyway my own time in and out less trouble less hassle. Non of this wait till 45 on the hour bs.
Sounds like a good deal to me, have 4 Walmarts in a town of about 300k and they are spread out in perfect conditions for this
45 minutes on the hour I run food apps until pickup time still have to wait
As with any Gig job, it all depends on your metro.
I thought I could multi app. But my sparks acceptance rate gotten pretty LOW. even if those offers expires, it will affect rate. Also kind of sad that you actually have to contact support when an order was canceled and ya have to ask them to remove it. Which affects time.
We here in Nashville are only going to get $1.00 a mile
I’ve done 19 spark trips so far and made just over $500 for a $26 per trip average. I’m pretty happy with it and now DoorDash is my secondary gig. I do enjoy 5-6 Walmart/Sam’s in my locale. 🙂
Update: The Honeymoon is over, after about 3 months my good orders are gone. No more extra effort pay. Now I've gone back to Doordash as a primary gig because for $8.00 I'd rather deliver Taco Bell than 20 bags of groceries that I had to wait 20 minutes for them to bring to my car. Spark is begging me to come back but I'll probably delete the app. Too bad because I was a great Sparker.
New drivers get priority. Take advantage while you still can. I completed 19 trips this week and barely cracked $400. Stay humble, collect that coin. Don’t get cocky.
@@ipodtouchfreak100 I've completed 21 orders in last 3 days. Does it really get that slow? Got $400 in incentives for starting.
@@jdingle8885 yes , cash in while you’re still new. The incentives and bonus don’t happen as often once you’re a seasoned driver
@@ipodtouchfreak100 I'm done with spark already. Way too many dead miles.
Wow they don’t pay that much in my town most I get offered is maybe close to $20 for a batch trip that’s 2 customers or more in 1 trip smh
I have a friendly brotherly request, can you make specific video/videos about San Diego specially ? For example, what is the good strategy or strategies that we can follow ? What places you think is the best ? What is the advantages and disadvantages of each place ? For instance, Pacific Beach, do you prefer it or not ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of dashing in Pacific Beach ? Another example, Mission Vally, do you think it’s the best place to park and dash from ? What are your strategies ? That’s what I mean .. For me, I live in the East Area, Santee, La Mesa, El Cajon, Spring Vally, please let me know either with a comment or a video that be more specific .. Thank You very much 😊👍🏻
I did 3 orders this weekend made 122 I only in store pickup less chance of getting big items. But my second batch I had to lug 9 bags of rock salt so that sucked but overall not bad. I had my pick of the litter when they would come up in getting to choose from 7-8 at a time. Live in SA so we have 20 Walmarts and several sams club so I’m gonna stick with it for a bit and see what happens.
Hi Mike I started doing spark and I have to say the base pay is not bad. But how does Walmart pays drivers in delivering groceries to customers for free if they just spend $35 and a $98 membership fee? Is this just like paying employees at Walmart at a job? How do they profit from delivery? I can see much more customers are requesting deliveries and it has been very busy. I had done a few 12 batch deliveries and I think it sucks. It is long drives and it pays like $4 to $5 a customer.
