Instacart and Chase Offering a Free Instacart Express Membership Through April 30, 2022 + $10 Off $35 on One Order

Instacart and Chase are offering a free Instacart Express membership to Chase credit card holders through April 20, 2022.

Additionally, cardholders who sign up for the free Instacart Express membership will receive a $10 off $35 deal. This $10 savings is good on any Instacart/store purchase. The discount will automatically apply at checkout.

If you’re not familiar with Instacart Express, here are the details.

Instacart Express

Instacart Express offers unlimited free deliveries of Instacart orders of $35 or more. That’s a savings of at least $3.99 per order.

Additionally, an Instacart Express membership offers reduced service fees, as well as no busy pricing fees during peak delivery times and the ability to shop at a variety of stores with free delivery on the entire order.

An Instacart Express membership regularly prices at $99 per year or $9.99 per month.

Instacart Express / Chase Free Membership Promo

To get the Instacart Express free membership, you’ll need to have a chase credit card added to your Instacart account as a payment method, and be logged in to your Instacart account.

Then, when you click the promo link below, you’ll be offered the free membership deal.

Instacart Express / Chase Free Membership Link

You can sign up for this deal through January 21, 2022.

And the free Instacart Express membership will be active through April 30, 2022, no matter when you sign up.

So, you might as well activate your free membership now to take advantage of its benefits for as long as possible.

Members with a paid Express subscription on or after 9/30/21 are not eligible for this offer.

Automatic Enrollment and Charge

The only downside to this free Instacart Express membership is that you’ll be automatically enrolled for an annual plan ($99 per year) which will be charged on April 30, 2022, to any active credit card on file on that date.

Here’s how to cancel auto-renew of the Instacart Express membership.

• Go to the Menu (three stacked bars on top left of the Instacart page).
• Select Instacart Express/Your Express Membership.
• Select the red “Cancel Membership” option at the bottom of the page.
• Follow the cancel membership prompts until you get to the “confirm membership cancellation” page.
• Select the red “End on April 30, 2022” button.

What’s nice is that you can disable the auto-renew option right after signing up for this promotion and still take advantage of the free Instacart Express membership through the end of April 2022.

The $10 Off $35 Added Bonus

In addition to getting a free Instacart Express membership, Chase cardholders will also receive $10 off an Instacart order of $35 or more (one time) after redeeming the free membership deal.

There are a few restrictions – does not apply to alcohol purchases and the $35 minimum spend excludes taxes and fees – but for the most part, if you’re ordering typical items, it’s a $10 savings.

The discount cannot be combined with any other promotion.

And, the $10 savings will automatically apply at checkout when the appropriate purchase is made. So no promo codes to worry about.

For many Instacart users, especially those who don’t use delivery very often, the $10 savings will be the biggest draw for this free membership deal.

Instacart and Store Pricing

Just a quick thought on Instacart and pricing from a general standpoint.

There are some partner retailers whose pricing is higher when using Instacart than it is in-store. A comparison of pricing is always a good thing to decide if the value of using Instacart is there.

For some, the time saved shopping and driving to the retailer is worth the increased pricing (and even fees if not using a free Instacart Express membership). That’s a personal decision.

Just be aware, pricing per item may be higher at some retailers when shopping via Instacart.

That said, some retailers do not increase pricing for Instacart purchases. Again, to know for sure, you’ll need to price comparison.

For the retailers that do not charge more, Instacart can be a pretty good deal. This is especially so if you’re using the pick-up service, or this free Instacart Express membership deal. And even more so if you have an Instacart savings deal to add to an order.

Wrap Up

If you’re a regular Instacart user, especially someone who uses delivery on a somewhat regular basis, this free Instacart Express membership promo for Chase credit card holders is a pretty good deal.

But even if you don’t use Instacart delivery very often – or never – it might be worth signing up for this promotion.

Not only will you have Instacart delivery as an option over the coming winter months, but you’ll be able to save $10 on an upcoming Instacart order of $35 or more.

So, a pretty nice deal for not much effort.

Just remember to cancel your Instacart Express membership prior to its auto-renew on April 30, 2022.
