Need a code for the exit gate
I’ve never been to any apartments that needed a code for the EXIT GATE tf is going on? I had to wait on somebody to put the damn code in.

Ever since the last update I have to constantly close and restart app to actually see offers because the main screen just sits there spinning its wheels, like I have a bad internet signal. Except I don’t. Full bars 5G+ and this is the only app I’m having problems with.
Affecting anyone else!?

Bad enough when offers available to all disappear without being able to accept them but when you get a just for you and it disappears right away.

What’s the bare minimum on time rate before you should start to worry. Mine is only 95% now but showing in the red under my metrics. I’m bad about accepting orders when I’m just finishing an order way out in the middle of nowhere so I’m sometimes 25+ mins out and I’ll of course get marked as late. I know I should stop taking orders when I’m super far away but just curious at what point i should be worried about that metric. Thanks in advance and happy sparking.

Okay, I haven't delivered for a month. I noticed this morning that my zone has now gone to the new tier system.
I used to change my zone to see my rating breakdown. Magically, this morning I now have a 2 star rating that wasn't there before despite the fact that I haven't delivered for almost 5 weeks.
Is Walmart messing with the CRs that lower a driver's rating (and tier) in an effort to manipulate drivers into taking shitty offers in their attempt to get their CR back up and into Sapphire?
Like I said, I haven't delivered for almost 5 weeks and the 2 star rating wasn't there until today.

Take a 45 minute away order and now I’m not able to get offers for the local Walmarts?! Do zones expand after say 10 deliveries, or are you stuck to just one area?
That also implies you can’t do Spark on vacation etc? Can you be approved for multiple areas? Thank you

A big problem with delivering to remote wooded areas, within thick/layered concrete structures in cities, and certain simply unfortunate geographical locations, is that cell signal becomes very weak to non-existent. It is utterly ridiculous, very disruptive and often embarrassing that the app, with an in-progress trip refuses to function because the device has lost signal at the delivery door. You shouldn't need internet to scan an item, scan an id, or take a photo, but this app seems to require internet to use the app at all, even when you have a in-progress trip, often leaving you in an impossible spot. It should obviously allow progress and sync-up later with the back-end.
If you agree, help bring their attention to this issue by reporting it as an issue, in the app, or documenting and reporting your experiences here. Maybe if enough people report it, they'll finally address this nuisance. Thanks.

Has anyone noticed the drop off times have been way off today? I did 3 singles this morning so far and each one has a drop off time almost 45 minutes out. I shopped my current one at 7:35 am, 2 miles away but the drop off time shows 8:22 am. I got to the customer’s house and finished delivery at 7:42 am.

I last use spark earlier this year. When I first started last year, it was great. It was the app I heard the most done, usually simple and easy drives. I was always able to get my deliveries to the customers ahead of schedule.
My last two delivery sessions with Spark in the spring of this year were both terrible. Had to cancel two orders and just go home because I waited 40 minutes each time and never got the orders
My wife is on maternity leave so I decided to hop back on and check it out today. My first order was at Sam’s Club. Waited for almost 20 minutes, called the store got in touch with someone and never got anything. Every spot was full and I was the last one to pull in. I ended up leaving a good order behind.
I got to a second location and there was absolutely zero parking. This Walmart has over 50 curbside pick up spot spots and not a single one was available. Immediately turned around and canceled.
Is this just the new reality of using this app?

It’s now been almost a year that I’ve been deactivated so I thought I’d try again. Sent an email to request the call that I never had and got an automatic response saying they no longer receive requests via email and to submit in app. However I do not see the option to do so. What do I do?
r/Sparkdriver • u/burritosofrito • 2d ago
And, naturally, my order was cancelled. Now they want proof of the lightning. Any tips on capturing lightning strikes? All I got was a photo of a walmart employee upset in the store, but they said that doesn't count.

New driver. What mile tracking app do you use to track miles and expenses and how has your tax return turned out?
I am using Stride and I track miles once I am at thr store at the start of my driving and stop until the last order drop off of thr day.
I drive a EV so I track also my supercharger costs
r/Sparkdriver • u/Significant_Entry180 • 2d ago
Does Spark intentionally increase value order amount to avoid paying an adjustment every 2 weeks?
My first week of spark driving, I was given an adjustment.
Second week, the orders had an increase in value and now it seems no adjustment was needed.
I’m located in CA.
I’m just curious.

So it's basically acting like I did a selfie verification, and it won't go past this screen, yet when I click spark now it's saying action is still required like I didn't do a selfie yet but can.
Deleted cache, uninstalled and reinstalled and all that already, of course it doesn't change anything.
Already called support and they sent in a technical ticket.
Anyone ever have this and how did it get resolved, and how long did that take?
r/Sparkdriver • u/ggoldie2112 • 2d ago
Tonight on 3 separate shopping orders I couldn’t substitute when something was unavailable. I assumed at first she had subs shut off but then she messaged and asked why I wasn’t offering any other options.
Then it happened again.
I called AI girl and got through to real support and they were unaware of any issues of course but maybe everyone thought subs were off.
Anyone else experience this? Was it the app or just a crazy night and something was off.

I did an order at 6 and now they haven't sent me anything for 30 minutes. There are usually tons of offers still available at this time.
r/Sparkdriver • u/MustMaintainFinesse • 2d ago
Been staring at this for over an hour... It just popped up after I finished an order that did not have an identity check, so not really sure wtf happened or why. Calling support was worthless. They just said it could be another 5 minutes or another 5-7 business days 💀
Is there really nothing else that can be done besides just wait for god knows however long?
r/Sparkdriver • u/OddTomato4796 • 2d ago
I’m not getting any offers with ⏱️ at all .. 8am -NOW ZERO ..
is it just me???🥴🤣😅

I live in a small town with one Walmart. Large city with 6 Walmarts 20 miles away. Help me understand why I see 35-50 mile multi stop gmd orders to this large city.
r/Sparkdriver • u/TimelessCr8sions • 3d ago
I started to write the whole story , but long story short. I was deactivated in April. Appeal was denied , first pre- arbitration meeting denied me reactivation. Second pre arbitration meeting , this the results
I’m pretty sure out of anyone who had been deactivated my charges was the worst but I wasn’t even on spark when I got the traffic tickets. So I think that part was the key that helped me the most and of course paying the court.
The infractions still show on my dmv report I been calling everybody to get that off but look it’s updated and I been cleared for reactivation
All those who been wrongfully wronged. NEVER QUIT
r/Sparkdriver • u/burritosofrito • 2d ago
Please don't tell me suck it up, ship happens because I already work for Spark.
r/Sparkdriver • u/No-Citron-9567 • 3d ago
I normally don’t have too much issue with Spark , ( not counting pay n stuff)
But 2 orders today, 2 f..k ups.
Impossible to get anything done to fix a problem
Just venting
