Practical playbook for using the credits

One effective approach is to spread the credit usage across multiple short trips: order snacks for kickoff, a beverage top-up during halftime, and a late-night restock. Alternatively, a single larger grocery run can use one credit while pickup options or in-store specials cover other needs. To verify store selections, delivery slots, and any added promos in the app, consult the current Instacart promos and delivery windows.

Money-saving tips

• Combine the waived delivery fee with in-app discounts and weekly sales to lower the overall bill.
• Reserve the free deliveries for quick, urgent runs where a drive to the store would be less convenient.
• For larger bulk buys, consider in-store pickup to reduce extra charges when a companion is available to collect items.

Fine print and common pitfalls

The promotion is limited to new users in the United States and availability varies by location. Service fees remain charged on each order even when delivery fees are $0. Certain merchants, including many restaurants, are excluded from the offer. If the three qualifying orders are not completed inside the 14-day window, remaining delivery credits will be forfeited.
