Deal Details
Right now, Costco is having this model on sale for $599 (list price); the sale ends 10/20. https://slickdeals.net/f/17816484-costco-members-acer-swift-go-14-touch-core-ultra-7-155h-16gb-lpddr5-1tb-ssd-600-15-s-h

PayPal is having a 25% off offer for first-time Instacart users (YMMV) https://slickdeals.net/f/17740911-paypal-25-off-instacart-purchase-ymmv
There seems to be no limit on this cash back.

Steps:
  1. Sign in to PayPal and activate Instacart's 25% offer within PayPal's app (first-time Instacart offer, YMMV).
  2. Shop for Costco delivery through Instacart in PayPal's app. https://www.instacart.com/product...lug=costco
  3. Use PayPal as payment. The price will be $612.99 + service fee ($11.50-$20) + free delivery. The total should be ~$640 pre-tax.
  4. Feel free to adjust the default 10% tip (~60$) to any decent amount you like.

*This is a combination of deals that utilize PayPal's 25% off offer and Costco's sale. YMMV.
*Costco membership is not needed for this deal (although you may link it in Instacart if you have one). The upcharges are off-set by the offer.
*Based on previous data points, Chase's ongoing 10% Instacart offer does not stack with PayPal's purchase (see https://slickdeals.net/f/17740911-paypal-25-off-instacart-purchase-ymmv). So it's better to use a cash-back credit card of your choice for the payment method in PayPal.
*Have tried and this worked. PayPal is showing ~16,800 pending points for me. It will take a while for them to become available to cash out.

has to be at least 80% off to be a deal with instacart due to item markups.
similar to using door dash, tried ordering 10 chick-fil-a meals on door dash yesterday, would have been $117 but it does not let you buy over $100. put it back to pickup and the same 10 meals were $88. same app. pickup vs. door dash $30 difference. ... and the door dash app recomended a $7 tip on top of the +$30.

I saw it as soon as it's delivered. I got an email from Paypal showing the transaction has ben processed, then Paypal app shows the points as pending. No issue for me.
Is PayPal cash back same as cash, do you just spend it later as money (effectively) loaded on PayPal?

Yes. You get reward points that you can then convert to cash, and can transfer out to your bank account, so effectively same as cash.

Planning to get the same laptop as I also got 25% offer in PayPal app!
Can you please check your PayPal account for pending rewards, and if it is on total price paid or item price only?
Thanks.

If you link your Costco membership in Instacart, shopper will use your number to shop and it reflects on the receipt

Does my PayPal login have to match my Instacart login in order to get the credit? (My Costco login is also different, but that just requires my membership number.) OP said it will take a while for the points to become available, does that mean only a certain percentage gets released over a period of time?

My own experience with buying electronic with Instacart is that warranty registration was a nightmare without original purchase receipt. At one time I literally had to escalate to a senior support to pressure the shopper to provide it.
