This article is about applying your Instacart gift card to your account. For more information on using your gift card to pay for an order or Instacart+ membership, go to Pay with a gift card.

If you purchased or received a gift card before November 18, 2020, redeem it on an account that matches the email address where you received the gift card. If you don’t have an Instacart account, create one using the same email address to which that gift card was sent. Then follow the steps below to redeem. This gift card doesn’t cover the cost of service and delivery fees, tips, taxes, prescriptions or alcohol items.

If you purchased or received a gift card on or after November 18, 2020, through our new gift card landing page or through a third-party seller, follow the steps below to redeem. This gift card covers any costs associated with an Instacart order, such as items, including alcohol and prescriptions, tips, taxes, service fees, and delivery fees.

Note: At this time you can only purchase, send, and redeem gift cards within the same country in which you live. You also can’t transfer gift cards to another Instacart account.
