Is there any code to get 30% discount
Costco (Bay Area, CA) had AirPods Pro 2 with 2 years AppleCare for $179.99.
I went in yesterday and price went up to $199.99 on 05/12

No code, see if your Discover card offers you 10% back for using it through PayPal.
It's not a discount. Open the PayPal app on your phone and check the "Offers" section. Some people have a "30% back through Instacart" offer there.
Probably would. The cash back is within the PayPal app and you activate it per account there, but you'd need to read the terms to be sure.
Yeah that's what I am skeptical about will give a shot

But I bought them anyway. I know the AP3's are coming in September, but my GF needs a pair now, so I went with this deal. I honestly would've gotten used (she was okay with that option), but I don't have the time/patience right now to dig through all the fakes.
Instagram offered me their premium for two weeks as a new customer so that also knocked down the Instagram service fees. Here is the full breakdown:
$212.99 - Cost of the item. I noticed immediately Instacart adds a surcharge here. It's $199.99 from Costco, Instagram adds $13.00 on top.
$19.17 - Sales Tax
$10.65 - Tip (this is the minimum, you could tip more, but you can't tip less)
$4.05 - Service Fee
-$2.00 - Retailer Coupon Discount for accepting a slower service time (4 hour delivery instead of 2 hours... I'm home all day so doesn't matter to me).
$0.00 - Instacart+ Member Delivery (I saved this here, I don't know how much they charge if you don't have their premium service)
-----------
$244.86 - Sub-Total
-$73.46 - -30% due to PayPal Deal
-----------
$171.40 - Should theoretically be my final after I get my reimbursement from PayPal (which isn't instant), but Paypal has acknowledged that the deal has been used, so it should get validated whenever it does.
I also used my Applecard through Paypal which gave another 1% cashback (yay, $2.45!, but hey money is money). Theoretically if you can use a "better" card with more cash back then you save that too.
