The Offer
No direct link to offer. Shows in app in the left sidebar below the logo
- Instacart is offering some customers a year of instacart+ for $19.
Our Verdict
This now comes with free peacock premium. Can also get discounts if you have Chase cards.
Who in the right mind would sign up Instacart + and immediately cancel?
Without and benefits from Chase and the pickup getting worse in March, is there any reason why Instacart+ is worth getting?
Saves you time especially if you shop at stores with in-store prices, lice Walmart.
I always get my lice from Walmart
Warning: Don’t signup and then immediately cancel. I did just that hoping to just make sure it wouldn’t autorenew and it cancelled my membership completely and refunded me the $19. Now I can’t rebuy at $19.
Annoying but hopefully this DP will save others from a similar fate.
Happened to me too. My workaround was to find a family member who also had the offer and create a family group and activate the offer on theirs.
You probably can work around it by waiting a couple of days, or placing an order before cancelling it.
You can work around by setting a reminder in 11 months to cancel.
I got the $15 membership last year that just expired, nothing yet this time.
Will the membership fee trigger $15 CSR monthly credit? Thanks.
I thought they took that away?
I had it in my app. My free year from CSR just expired this past week.
Wasn’t going to renew at the normal price of $99/year but did it with this promotion.
If you have CSR, you’ll get 15$ statement credit / month. Recommend using in-store pick up, stores with “in-store prices”, and stores with a promo happening like $15 off $50
AFAIK, Chase will phase out this credit out soon, like June or July.
Correct. Per the benefits page: “Earn up to $15 per month in statement credits on Instacart purchases through July 2024…”
So, to confirm, even if your membership via the CSR ran out, you can technically still use CSR for credits until June/July 2024?
Yes, but many stores will add a pickup fee once the membership expires. Still about $10 of free groceries after fee though.
If only it came with peacock premium plus instead of premium
Do they email you or do i have to find the discount in the app?
In app for me
Has any of you tried a family account?
This has been around for a while. Have seen it on multiple accounts, usually when you do not use it for many months.
Damn, just signed up for the Costco trial 1.5 weeks ago!
There might be some other factor I don’t know; who knows. I have a bunch of Instacart accounts from the time when chase Instacart plus benefit could only be redeemed on one account at a time (couldn’t be all stacked on one account to make a really long Instacart plus membership from several different Chase cards).
