Update: The last day to activate this benefit is July 31st, 2024. You can add multiple eligible Chase Sapphire/Slate/Freedom flavors and they will stack to extend your free membership further and further. Just keep going back to Instacart.com/chase to activate all your cards before the deadline. For example, I added both a Freedom Flex and Freedom Unlimited.

Tip #1: Turn off auto-renewal immediately after activation. When you activate this offer, it will be set to auto-renew after the end of the free membership. However, you can cancel this auto-renew now and it will still keep your free membership until the end of the gift period.
Tip #2: Keep the Instacart app installed on your phone with notifications on. Instacart reliably sends me new coupons via app notifications. (I don’t get the same coupons via e-mail.) Stacked with other benefits, it can make it worthwhile to use Instacart even with their inflated prices, especially if you value the time saved. I actually prefer shopping via an app nowadays for meal planning purposes, but usually directly with a grocery store for lower prices.
