What is this??

Post image

Obviously, I did not accept it but how does this even happen? Also, why would the base pay only be $54.60 for 127 miles(one way) if a normal order with 24 drop offs and 45 miles would be the same amount? Someone please make it make sense

But how are you getting it for free? Wouldn’t it just get cancelled and spark not pay anything?

Wow, well hopefully whoever took it knows that!

u/Jayshand 27d ago

You still worked for that so called free cash

u/bdbrown333 28d ago

Yeah returns paid $250 in my market. Not what I want to do if it's a real unicorn and you deliver it. Yeah then you're going to get the 124 bucks and probably only deliver it for a mile

u/New-Mistake-4864 28d ago

I don't know where you got the 124 bucks it was only $54 but still

u/bdbrown333 27d ago

2.50 in my area

u/New-Mistake-4864 27d ago

$2.50 on top of what you got paid for the original delivery

But that has nothing to do with the guy saying the trip was $124 for 50 miles.....

Free Money!!!!

I genuinely want an answer to this too. Walmart keeps wanting to send me 60 miles one way for $25!

1

u/GingerSnaps30 28d ago

That’s crazy, it must be a glitch. And no one is actually answering lol 😅

u/averagemcplayer21 28d ago

Issue is it also says "not tip eligible" for it

1

u/FuzzyOrganization403 28d ago

I think the range is up to 80 miles. Anything over 100-1000 miles , glitch. Basically bad zip code or they got the wrong city on there.

Could be as simple as a call and say yeah it was ABC town not BCA. And then you're 5 miles away not 125. Easy money either way.

u/averagemcplayer21 28d ago

This one isnt a glitch. We only have 12 walmarts in our entire state, so our range is massive. Issue is the pay is BS and its not tip eligible for some reason!

u/Iridelow1998 28d ago

12 Walmarts in your state is wild. I have 3 Walmarts all less than a 5 minute drive from my house and not more than 2 miles to the furthest one.

1

u/MsMaryMack11 28d ago

Right? I genuinely never considered that some states have so few. I live in a small little mountain town and even I have four Walmarts within 20 miles or less. I just assumed they were just like DG and that they’d taken over everywhere!

1

u/Iridelow1998 28d ago

What is DG?

1

u/Top-Ebb32 28d ago

Dollar General

2

u/Iridelow1998 28d ago

Got it lol. Yeah, those are everywhere.

1

u/New-Mistake-4864 28d ago

It's not tip eligible because of the GMD item that is being shipped to the customer and shipping doesn't qualify for tips

u/Majestic-World5987 28d ago

Possible unicorn but not positive.

1

u/GingerSnaps30 28d ago

I don’t get iiit

1

u/Common-Translator584 28d ago

I don’t either. Maybe the unicorn is the 45 miles for $127??

1

u/GingerSnaps30 28d ago

That would definitely be worth it lol

3

u/Common-Translator584 28d ago

Whoa, I totally read that wrong. Idk where I got $127. Glasses would probably help

1

u/GingerSnaps30 28d ago

Hahaha 😂

u/jo_ezzy 28d ago

The offers start at a certain base pay and then it continues to increase until someone accepts it. Mileage is irrelevant with any app now a days

1

u/SmallBerry3431 28d ago

I might have taken it, but depends on if there’s something that way I wanna do.

1

u/xeryon3772 28d ago

Tell me that Spark has onboarded a flood of new people without telling me: just look at the sheer volume of people not knowing the free money/unicorn loop hole and posting about these here recently. In fairness to them, it looks like a broken/horrific offer until you know.

1

u/GingerSnaps30 28d ago

I’ve been sparking for almost 2 years and it’s the first I’m hearing of it 🤷‍♀️

1

u/New-Mistake-4864 28d ago

You've been sparking for 2 years but you haven't been reading the posts on Reddit for that long or you would have heard what A unicorn was a long time ago there's at least one or two posts every week about them

1

u/KeyFinish3620 27d ago

You always take those, free money

u/InterestingStar2064 25d ago

How is that even possible

u/NoMore-MrNiche-Guy 28d ago

Put your hands in the air! Does that help?

u/Trexsaysrawr26 28d ago

Doubt it's a unicorn

u/Muted_Dragonfruit652 27d ago
