You would think with the way the economy is and especially with the way gas prices are they’d give you good offers but you’ll be lucky if you get any good offers that offer $2+ a mile. They dang sure don’t put into account the miles you’ll be driving to the store to shop or pick up and the miles it takes to get back to your zone ($30 for 32 miles, 2 stops and you can be 40+ min from your zone on your last drop), such a joke, the offers used to be better but within the past 2 years they’ve gotten worse with the offers

Slow constantly glitching. Pay definitely needs to be fixed as well. We are not hourly employees we pay for our gas,insurance and wear and tear on our vehicles.
I have been trying to sign up for this but it says the preferred zone is full. I can’t change the preferred zone. It goes to a screen that says zone is full but there are no buttons to go to the Home Screen, it just takes me to the beginning and I end up on the same screen.
The application no longer gives profits, since the last update, one no longer draws even for the gas of the day
Alparecer la gasolina y el carro es de ellos porque quiere meterte muchicimas millas con el precio mas bajo. Ah y la mayoria de cliente luego que le dejas el delivery te quitan la propina o te la rebaja. La propina tiene que ser mandatoria porque estamoa utilizando nuestro carros y gasolina y ustedes estan pagando muy bajo!

I do like the Walmart Spark app. It’s nice to be able to take a couple deliveries when I’m in a pinch and need some things and may not have the funds at the moment. However… I have noticed more and more that some deliveries are WELL out of the way, and I mean I saw one for a 2-3 hour drive for $20. I believe there should be zones set to not go more than MAYBE 10 miles outside of the store you pick-up/shop from. It doesn’t make sense for the driver to go that far for 2 hours for $20, because you also only get paid one way. We don’t get paid for the drive back, so what’s the point really? I’m very careful about the orders I take due to this. I also would like to mention that the majority of the time, the money is not worth the mileage on my car. If I’m spending more in gas and not making double the amount back, the trip is pointless. At the end of the day, I’m not really making any money. I hope that you take this into consideration, a lot of us love using this app, but there’s things that make it difficult to want to continue when it doesn’t feel like it pays worth while all the time.

I’m not sure why I wasn’t approved to deliver because there was no type of email following the decision after reading the recent reviews, seems like it’s not worth it anyway smh
You slave yourself for a low pay high mileage order. Higher up definitely as greedy as always!
There are about 10 zones listed in my area. I picked the one closest to me and it says “zone full” and won’t let me finish signing up. I don’t have to deliver that zone, any zone in my area is fine. But it won’t let me go back to pick a different zone to finish signing up. So apparently I’m waitlisted, no estimated wait time and no number to call or support to contact to simply find an open zone in my area.

So far the website and app have both been horrible. There is no support for customer service anywhere other than inside the app which I am unable to access. I am currently stuck on picking a zone page and it tells me that the zone is full and the only button on the screen that shows up is to log out. when I log out and log back in the same page comes up. I have deleted the app and re-downloaded it, and it still shows the same thing. So far I am not impressed at all with this app- I can’t even Upload my drivers license or anything else to get started with this delivery service.

Can’t get it to do anything but log me in and say the zone is full. I have had the app for 2 weeks. Won’t show me any other options of zones either. Help
For the last three weeks or so, I have not been able to get more than three decent trips a day. And I mean, I sat all day. This will be the second day this week. I have not had no trips and it’s only Tuesday. There are trips that come up but the pay is so pitiful that I just don’t think I can work for 6 to 8 dollars an hour.. I was the very first Spark Driver at the new Philadelphia store Ohio I can remember making $1000-$1200 a week. Last week I made $400. This week I am just hoping to make $400. There are too many new drivers taking all these terrible trips not knowing what they’re in for. Drivers beware Walmart will take advantage of you. There are a lot of gravel roads in Tuscarara County. your car won’t last and for what they pay you you won’t be able to buy another one. Good luck.

App froze and glitched so it submitted my application without thr correct info and I immediately got denied 👎👎
This app is probably the worst out of delivery type apps compared to Instacart, door dash and uber. There are SO MANY clicks (about 6 prompts) to actually deliver a package, you have to take multiple photos for orders at the same drop off (per package AND complete the same 6 prompts), rejecting offers mean nothing bc they still show up at the top of your list, they should be hidden once you reject, the app doesn’t automatically scroll to the bottom of your list as you complete drop offs, you just scroll and scroll down after each drop off, I suggest having it populate at the top. You aren’t paid for waiting for pick ups (sometimes 20-30 min), and the batching of packages and shopping orders is insane. Also adding incentives after 4-6 batches but they have 10+ stops…. So you get it after 40 drops? Yikes.

No i do not wish to apply for your one pay card; i need easy, fast cash out option like instacart does! Having to wait when i have things to pay for or need gas, is so time consuming!!!!! the pay on the gigs, easy working, is really good! I just hate how yall dont have a cashout option!!!!
App itself works fairly well, though time estimates are often misleading. Ultimately though, you’re on the losing end of supply and demand when there’s more drivers than offers. Forces you to accept lowball offers just to have something. Probably intentional so as to control cost. Disappointing.

The app overly is good but when it comes to the customers and big orders for example just did 240 items I had already bagged the order and had two carts full of items already packing one into my car when the client canceled the order and this means it could possibly mean no earnings I have to call 48 hrs later to see if they are going to pay me or not. Just spent ONE HOUR shopping my time my energies where I could have been doing other orders they should definitely not allow big orders or not let people cancel orders once is bagged.

The app allows customers to rate us on substituted items and late deliveries. The app allows a customer to give us a bad rating if they don’t approve a substituted item by the time we leave the store or if items are out of stock. The app allows customers to rate us on deliveries that are already late when they are sent to us. The app does not allow us to know why or when we received this low rating from the customer. How are we to improve if we don’t know what we did wrong? I will be reporting these actions to the Better Business Bureau because it’s unfair and dirty! I will also call support and report every customer and ask for protection from being rated if that’s what I have to do to protect myself!

They have expanded the whole central part of the Oklahoma City metro as one zone. 42 different stores, getting offers from stores 20-30 miles away. No statement or anything just happened over night it’s been a month now.
They steal part of your tip now the lowered what you make per trip it is possible to make money but it will not be worth the miles or ware and tare on your car
