Will a coupon apply prior to this gifcard? I normally get a 10 off 35 or even sometime 40 off 80. Will I be able to apply the coupon and then pay with the gifcard?
Unsure if others have this same experience. But I used to get promos from Instacart (not Same-day) regularly, but after I added $100 credit to my account, I have only had 2 promos sent in the past 2.5 years.
Yes but add the 20% off gc, link your instacart plus membership and it's delivered to you for same in store or less
I think you misunderstood what I meant. The price through Costco sameway is different from if you go through instacart to shop Costco. It's weird since they both use the same service and sam store
Bought 2, used them for Costco same-day delivery. After tip and the ~10% up-charge on items I essentially only saved time
Saving time is good enough for me with a toddler, Costco is a mess on weekends here when I have time to go and the toddler will mess with things, eat the blueberries in the cart, etc.

It's been a while since I bothered to compare, but from my experience Costco app did not allow tipping and just charged higher prices, while instacart had lower prices but asked to tip - so in the end it ended up roughly the same.

I've given up on costco delivery service. Too much price manipulation. Sams is WYSIWYG. I don't need to calculate out 2 layers of price increases after I already pay them just to shop there. They used to be on the ball, but in the last couple of years, it's been a shtshow that I can't afford.
Steer clear of Instacart GCs unless you want your acc locked with gift balance on it that it impossible to get refunded afterwards (fought them for months)
Their Steal Team (trust&safety) is the worst thing in the history of CS of any company

Sams products are generally inferior to Costco across the board. They go too far in a quest to make them cheap. So.. Sams != Costco. That explains higher prices, however that manifests: layers, no layers, etc.

With 20% off gift cards, the end price is about the same in store. But I save time and also save money by not making unplanned purchases

Interesting, Costco same-day has higher price than instacart Costco
I've ordered four times since November, two cards at a time. We use Instacart at least once/week, so this helps us.
