Question about the deal, why is instacart express worth it?

I always order at least $35 so the delivery is free, and costco same day prices are mostly $1 more per item (except meats, wow instacart marks up meats like crazy).

Where I live, without Express it starts at $3.99 delivery even if you order > $35, plus fees. We order ~every week from both Wegmans and Costco, so it makes sense for us over the course of a year.

Just fyi... I had an offer in my app for free express membership until April if you use your eligible chase card. YMMV

The chase app or the Instacart app? Which card? Thank you!

I do almost all my costco shopping through Instacart and Costco.com. I took a trip to Costco in person and compared the prices of goods in person to the marked up prices on Instacart. The Instacart prices were almost all marked up within a very tight band of 9.25% to 9.5%, which seemed okay to me. A friend told me that Costco markups for Instacart are particularly consistent and on the lower end compared to other stores, perhaps due to Costco doing hardball negotiations with Instacart. Anyways thanks for the deal, I'm a big fan of the service Smilie

Then you're missing out on the experience of shopping at Costco... It's always exciting to shop there. You know, to see and spend crazy amount of money on things you "need".

Read nothing in terms that the membership e card expires so I'm saving it until April 29th when the free Chase offer ends to avoid any mix-up or issue applying it before then.

Any suggestions for how much to tip an instacart shopper? Trying to see if this will be worth it with fees and tips all in. If we have to tip servers 20% just for being a couple of plates to the table (some places they don't even take orders and we order and pay on the tabletop menu), then how much do we tip shoppers for driving to the store, struggling for parking if it's Costco it can take a lot of time to just park, then going into the store, selecting each item, standing in line to check out, push cart back to car, drive to my home, carry heavy boxes from the street to my porch? What's a reasonable amount for all that? If we order $100 of food at a restaurant we are supposed to give $20 so for instacart is it like $50 or how much?

Tip in cash if possible. As former delivery driver, those tips don't seem to always make it to the driver. Also companies like door dash use the tip to pay out the "guaranteed pay".

I send to people who need no contact so cash tips are not really an option.

Can this be used to extend existing instacart express membership?

Based on Instacart's terms and conditions, it should extend your existing Instacart Express membership.

"If you are not already a member of Instacart Express, redeeming the Gift Card will subscribe you to an Instacart Express membership ending after the applicable 3-month, 6-month, or annual term. However, if you are a member of Instacart Express, redeeming the Gift Card will add the applicable term to the length of your subscription; your Instacart Express membership will automatically renew based on your election for automatic renewal in your Instacart account settings."

Aldi, Sephora, Staples

Most items from Aldi will add 10% in prices comparing to in store purchases.

Tried to go on the Costco website to get it and it's overloaded. Not just same day, but any shopping for items in general. I'm getting this on the app and website.

We need just a moment...

there are lots of shoppers on our site right now.

Thank you for your patience. We will automatically take you back to the page you were on as soon as possible. Please understand that while your place in line will be held, product availability cannot be guaranteed.

Be super careful.

I redeemed this one Christmas Day and then cancelled my recurring billing. It wiped out my Costco membership card as well. I have been on chat, phone, e-mail, Twitter, and BBB, for hours. It has been escalated 3x. Six days have gone by, nothing in terms of a meaningful response. They don't deal in prepaid gift cards, and their support has no way to credit an account with months of express.

I informed Costco of the issue, at the direction of an Instacart rep. Costco gave me another card, free, though it wasn't their fault. I can't redeem that either right now since my account is locked for the duration of my customer service issue.

Correct its like .02 to .10 an item in our area. We love using instacart for aldi. Along with free chase with express, random coupon codes and gift cards at 20% off its often cheaper than driving there.
