[Updated 2022.2.18] PayPal users can log into their account to find an Instacart offer for $20 off $80. After adding it, it is valid for one week.
After adding this PayPal offer, you may be able to get free money with the right steps. Here’s the strategy: first add the offer to your PayPal account, then go to Instacart and select items totaling more than $80, choosing PayPal at checkout. Try to schedule the order for a later time. Your checkout total must exceed $80 to trigger the offer, though these do not need to be the final items you actually want to buy. After placing the order, go back to the cart and edit your shopping list, removing the items you do not want until only around $20 remains. At that point, even though the cart value is only about $20, the earlier preauthorization has already triggered the offer, and later refunds should not affect it. This offer can also be stacked with Instacart promo codes, such as $10 off $35. Note that this PayPal offer is only valid for one week, so use it soon after adding it. Also, schedule the pickup or delivery order for a later time, and remove the unnecessary items before the shopper starts shopping so that only about $20 remains. This offer should still be around for a while, so jump on it if you need it!
