Deal Details
This is a bit of a YMMV, but too good not to share for those that can replicate it.

My local (Tulsa) Costco still has Gen 2 Air Pods for $79. Not on the shelf. Need to ask a team member. Solid deal by itself.

This morning I got an Instacart promo for $40 off $80

The Instacart price for the AirPods is $87. Less the $40 coupon. Plus tax and delivery/tip. My total was $60 delivered

Instacart has a promo in app for 2 free months of Instacart plus with Costco membership. Was easy to add to keep fees down.

I also have a CSP card which gives me $15 back a quarter on Instacart.

So I'm out about $45 after tax when it's all said and done.

Like I said, even at $79 it's a good deal. The other stuff is gravy if you have available.

I have not used instacart so pardon my lack of know-how. When I click your link I get a price of $105 and it appears that the pods come from Best Buy. So what am I missing to start with.

I am eligible for the two months free on instacart+, but have not yet subscribed.

And about that $40 off $80, was that an offer in the app or can it be seen on the website?

And, and.....What is CSP?

Thanks

The sticker on the box says 17099, but not listed on Costco website anymore. If your store has it, it will show up on instaxart

It's a link to Instacart for that item. Will find the local options. If your Costco has them still they will show up. If not, they won't.

CSP is a chase sapphire card

And the offer came in email from Insta cart

Confirmed available in Tulsa and OKC areas. It's possible it can't be replicated other areas.

I was able to price match the $69.00 Costco price at Target even though it shows out of stock (at Costco).

Did you do the price matching online or at the store. I just tried online and they told me because it shows out of stock, they couldn't do it.

Isn't instacart the one that uses purchased personal data and algorithms to set prices per individual? May have something to do with the ymmv...
