This Instacart gift card deal is mainly useful for paying for Costco or Instacart grocery delivery, but the real value depends heavily on region and checkout path. In some areas, Costco Same Day and Instacart prices are nearly identical, while California and Los Angeles examples show much higher Instacart markups and extra service or regulatory fees. The biggest caveat is that Costco Same Day redemption has been inconsistent, with reports that new cards cannot always be added even though existing credits still work. A workable option is to start from Instacart, select Costco, and use the credits there.

Common Questions (6)

Often they are close, but the difference depends on region and account setup. Some shoppers see the same item prices with Costco SameDay and Instacart, while others report Instacart running higher, especially in California where Costco SameDay is around 10% markup and Instacart can be much higher.

A limit of 1 has been reported in some checkout attempts, but other shoppers were able to buy multiple cards by splitting them into separate orders or transactions with a short pause between purchases.
Sunday roark1138 ViT3633 thewatcher23
Yes, but only in some cases and the behavior appears to have changed recently. Existing credits can still apply at Costco SameDay checkout, while adding new Instacart gift cards has been reported as blocked for some accounts and regions.
JJinNJ deal_luv tailfins JCJD
Yes. Reports mention an additional service fee on Instacart orders, plus a $5.99 regulatory response fee and a minimum $3.50 service fee for Instacart+ pricing, while Costco SameDay often avoids those fees.
deal_luv boklos HonestApple191 if200
Yes. The cards are still usable on Instacart itself, but they may no longer work for Costco SameDay checkout depending on the account or recent platform changes.
zeugma FairBook5657 loldoge deal_luv
At checkout, use the payment section and select "Use Instacart credits" after adding the card code. Some users also report that starting from the Instacart site, selecting Costco, and then entering the gift card code works when the Costco flow does not.

is the "yesterday" timestamp accurate or was this an older pic? And when did you buy the gift cards (sorry if you said in another comment)I've some gift cards on my instacart that were supposed to be from Costco that I haven't used cause instacart wont allow me to use them at Costco...

It's literally yesterday ... I was pissed off and I took the complaint to Amazon . I bough them during the last sale period. They filed an A to Z claim and I got my money back.I believe Costco will honor your return by looking at how they refunded allThe synergy giftcard, because they became unredeemable.

Did you buy them from Costco or Amazon? Because both those merchant offers money back guarantee in the event the giftcards are not able to redeem as advertised. I think Instacart doesn't want people make bank runs like what happened to synergy giftcards that were sold at Costco.... but this move is seriously shady.

they arent getting money back, theyre redeemable on instacart, just not for Costco.

https://imgur.com/a/9LZt3f5 well I did get a refund from amazon by claiming the product was advertised useable at costcosameday. I can FaceTime with you the entire process if you have doubts.

Instacart keeps getting greedier every year and I think this will be the end of it for me:
First they stopped letting Costco selling the 20% GC like suddenly.
Then they sent an email that they are lowering their discount for Costco for instacart plus members to 50% less! ( Means 50% less discount on the markup or in other words raise their markup 50% more)
Now paying IC+ is $80/year through Costco and then gift cards became so hard to buy for even 10% off with hard limits on how many, and now this ?
I did a quick comparison as an IC+ member with same items on costco.sameday and on the IC app, the difference? $10 extra fees on the IC app which negates this deal!
I'm someone with health issues and no car.who was trying to order Costco groceries without shelling 20% markup plus tips and they want to squeeze every cent from you

Can someone clarify whether this can't be used only on Costco sameday or can it not be used even on Costco through Instacart app?

You can always use it on Instacart. lol. It's an Instacart gift card.
It just can't be used on Costco Sameday any more as of two days ago. They removed that.

Careful with Instacart. They have crazy markups, on items, in many states and stores. You not saving anything in those cases.

Thanks for the heads up regarding instacart gift cards no longer being accepted on sameday costco. Bummer for me since the instacart markup is much higher for me in the Los Angeles, California area. Sameday Costco markup is 10% while the instacart costco markup is more than 24%. For example, the rotisserie chicken is $4.99 in store, $5.49 on sameday, and $6.21 on instacart.

Weird ..I always used Instacart and NOT Costco Sameday because the prices were cheaper on Instacart.. I live in NY

PS Just checked again and I can confirm that Instacart has cheaper prices for me than SameDay

I just test it today and it based on region - try input a California address you will see the mark up jump up to 24%

The primary idea of the service is convenience, not savings. That said, there're ways to pay less than store prices by stacking deals / offers and gift cards purchased at a good discount. I usually aim for 20% off now that the Costco no longer sells the cards.

They secretly remove the option without any public announcement. Now I'm stuck with $1000 worth Instacart gc, and the only way to spend them is on Instacart app with insanely high mark up.

wow! costco should have let everyone know

I just called Instacartto find out if this is true. It is not true according to them. But you need to order starting with the Instacart site, not hte Costco site. If you start on the Costco site you will not be able to use Instacart. So they said start on Instacart and you just need the free membership to do that, and click on Costco. Most of the prices will be the same as if you went to the Costco site first. And you can put in your Instacart card codes to pay.
