Markup, driver tip ends up negating the discover bonus. But it's still about $100 from the PayPal offer.

Is the 30% off the item cost only or the total cost of the transaction including fees, tax and tip?
Thanks so much! I've never used Instacart before.

You have to go back into Paypal offers and reactivate it. You will get a new offer deadline and after activating you'll also get an email that you saved this offer.

Works for BJs too when you order by Instacart with PayPal. Must activate offer in the PayPal app as well. Single use. It shows pending for the points. Near $300 is maxing out the offer.

Has the offer ended or been maxed out? I used it once, then saved the offer again and got an email confirmation with a new deadline for 5/25. But now the saved offer has disappeared from the list and I only see a new offer for 5% back up to $100 through Instacart with Paypal checkout.

I also got all my points for my Costco Instacart order on 5/18 - no longer says points pending but earned and I can spend it immediately. I also earned points on tax even though the Paypal offer terms stated I wouldn't earn points on tax. I noticed (in this thread or another) that some people bought gift cards. Did you also earn points on gift cards? The offer terms also state that gift cards wouldn't earn points.

Does anyone know if the promo applies to costco sameday same day? (Has about 8% cheaper markups)

And how do we know if our Discover CC qualifies for year end match?

It shows on the payment page for Instacart purchase in both PayPal app and website for me.

After adding the offer I clicked through the link from PayPal app before making the purchase just in case.

Looks like the 30% cashback can be denied after you make the purchase if you read the terms and conditions.

Certain items, product categories, and purchases are ineligible for PayPal Rewards points. Generally, these exclusions are determined by the participating merchant, and not by PayPal. If there are no eligible items in your order, you will not earn PayPal Rewards points on that order.... Generally, we won't be able to confirm the amount of your order which is eligible for PayPal Rewards points (and whether any of your items are ineligible), until after you complete your order and make your purchase.

Has anyone ordered from Best Buy successfully with cashback points showing as activated?

No reason it shouldn't. Paypal doesn't even see which store Instacart is using.
In my Paypal account I can see the store name in the transaction details. It shows Instacart and then the name of the store.
