How to use Instacart gift cards
Instacart gift cards are redeemed as credits in your Instacart account.
Open the Instacart app or go to instacart.com. Navigate to your account settings and find the gift card section. Enter the code from your Card Depot account. The balance gets added as Instacart credits and automatically applies to your future orders.
Credits work for grocery delivery from all Instacart partner stores including Costco, Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Sprouts, Walmart, and hundreds of others. They also cover convenience store items and alcohol delivery where available.
How to check your Instacart credit balance
Open the Instacart app and go to your account settings. Your credit balance is displayed under the payment section.
Why Instacart gift cards save more than you think
Instacart fees add up. Delivery fees, service fees, and tips can add 20-30% to your grocery bill. If you're ordering weekly, that's hundreds per month.
Buying Instacart gift cards at a discount offsets some of those fees. Check the current discount above and multiply by your monthly Instacart spend. Over a year, it adds up.
Stacking with Instacart+
Instacart+ membership costs $9.99/month and waives delivery fees on orders over $35. Gift card credits can be used for Instacart+ payments. Buy the gift cards at a discount, use them to pay for your membership and your groceries, and your delivery fees are already covered.
Returns and refunds on Instacart
If an item is missing, damaged, or wrong, Instacart issues credits or refunds directly in the app. This process is handled through Instacart regardless of whether you paid with gift card credits or a credit card.
