Does anyone know when Discover is used through Paypal does it code as Grocery and get the 5% cashback?

What I have seen previously is that the Paypal payment in discover doesn't stack with their categories bonus. Thanks!

It shows as Paypal Instacart costco under groceries. I have verified and got the cashback!

Just got the ipad from Costco. $355 paid. I hope points come through. For what it is worth, I got this message in my Paypal order receipt.

Instacart 30% cash back up to $100. Exclusions may apply
Points pending
Your points are on the way! They should arrive within 90 days.

couple questions:

-does this only work on one item or for multiple items in cart?

-about how long do the points usually take?

You have until 06/09 to add the offer but once you add it, it expires in a week.No reason it shouldn't. Paypal doesn't even see which store Instacart is using.

Can't checkout with paypal using instacart app on my android phone. Does it have to be on a pc? Anyone use BestBuy as the merchants on electronics? Terms suggest that some items are excluded by merchants but does not say what.
Update: PayPal was accepted using pc. Purchased through BestBuy merchant. Fees $21 and not sure whether the item is eligible. It's a high risk for savings that cannot be confirm. Scam emails and calls always follow after paypal purchase so it's keeping me away.

I didn't know this, maybe many do. But if you're actually going to try and maximize this opportunity and get the full $100 discount, then you'll be paying enough in fees to where it makes sense to just get Instacart+, at least for a month.

I would've saved ~$15 if I had Instacart plus before I placed my order but I didn't. I found out after the fact. So just posting here so that at least others can save.
Also, it turns out I had 3 mos of Instacart+ avail for free anyway with my Chase Ink card (which apparently also gives you a $20/mo Instacart credit)!

I got a partial refund of $20 due to a pricing issue, so now I have two transactions: one for $370 and a $20 refund. The $370 transaction originally showed 10k points pending, but now it's marked as refunded because of that $20 partial refund. Just wondering, does that void the 10k points since the $370 now shows as refunded?

Thanks!

Works for electronics too—not just groceries! Confirmed on my own purchase of an iPad 11th Gen A16 from Costco via Instacart for $207 after taxes (after cash-backs)

Costco cancelled my order

My instacart account was just closed after I placed my order and was told to verify my account. Anyone else experience this?

Two of my friends said the same thing. Came on here to see if it happened to anyone else. Wonder what's going on.

Yes. What fking bs with instacart. Placed order with my instacart+ account using paypal 30 percent back offer and stacking $30 off $100 coupon they emailed me and had everything all set and as soon as the order was placed I received emails and txts from instacart telling me they cancelled my order and put account on hold for security which is BS I have placed orders before and no issues. Now the paypal offer is gone and so is the extra $30 offer from my instacart account and I have nothing. Instacart wants me to upload my ID and Credit card to remove the hold. Fark them I am not their bi&ch they can suck my D

Worth trying but not relying on all the percentage back to work.

I've used this deal a few times and it works. The only thing is the points take up to 90 days to process so it's a waiting game before you can access it. I am still waiting for the cashback from my last purchase.

I did it twice with the same Paypal account because of this comment. I already have the cashback for the first transaction available. I did not get the 30% on the second transaction.
