Not immediately, since even the actual charge does not show up immediate just "pending". I don't know the exact timing but when the charge shows up, the credit shows up usually on the same day it was charged. For example, I had a charge on Dec 10 for $18.xx, right below it.. the credit showed up as -$15.00.

Make sure you are signed up for it on the card though. If you are signed up, you would know because you get an email every month with the subject "Earn your $15/month statement credit today" when the $15 credit is renewed. It has been great for me so far. I always ordered over $35 of stuff (so no extra fee) but some of the stuff is usually not available (or the shopper can't find it) so they just drop from the total original charge. So usually I ended up $25 or lowered with -$15 credit.

Does anyone know if I upgrade from CSP to CSR, would I immediately upgrade my instacart benefits? (e.g. extend free Instacart+ from 6 month to 12 months?) I assume the monthly credit would be upgraded right away (from 15/quarter to 15/month) since it's handled by Chase...

Any updates from anyone on using credits from two cards? I've been using my CSR but realized my wife also has a CSP. Don't really want to sign her up for her own Instacart account...

Both me and my wife have the chase Sapphire Reserve, would it be better to add both cards to the Instacart and reap 2X $15 monthly credit or no?

I've been digging into this... there are comments on a Doctor of Credit post that indicate you can activate many cards on the same account. The Instacart+ membership will extend for the months each card gives you. Then you can order using any of the cards you've activated and the correct credit will trigger.

I just tried adding P2's CSP to my account. The membership expiration did, indeed, extend by 6 months beyond my original CSR's expiration date. I think this is the way it's supposed to work, since there is now a hover message that clearly states each card that was activated and how they add up to the new expiration date.

I order from Instacart every week so I'll have some DPs to share if the credits actually trigger. But the DoC people think it'll work fine, as long as you actually take the step of activating Instacart+ on each card.

Do we know whether the Instacart+ benefit is going to be permanent or go away after 6 months? I feel like Chase adds benefits but takes them away after a specific amount of time

Please note that the 12-month benefit (CSR) gets added almost immediately to Instacart so even if Chase does away with the benefit in 6 months you would already have the benefit in your Instacart accout.

Has anybody tried combining multiple chase cards on a single instacart order to get a credit from each card? I have CSR which is a monthly credit but also have other cards which have a quarterly credit. I guess it should work. Also I'm assuming I don 't have activate any Instacart+ membership since I already have that through my CSR card

Thanks

Do you only order from Instacart once a month? If not, there's no need to even attempt to combine credits: just use the CSR for your first Instacart order of every month, and use a card which offers only a quarterly credit for a later order that month.

sam007

Yes we prefer going in to the store to shop so only one order a month

OK. I order from Instacart several times a month, and I have never seen an option to split the payment for a single order across two (or more) forms of payment.

Mixed results. I added a CSP and a Freedom, and used the CSP immediately. It did not trigger the credit. But about a week later I used the Freedom and it DID trigger. So I wonder if there is processing time involved before it recognizes the card.

Rather than requesting credit manually, I'll likely just try the CSP again and see what happens.

Just a reminder, if you signed up August 2022 for the free year, it is about to be up and it will charge your card for next year membership. Remember to cancel if you don't want to pay.

With Instacart+ ending, has Chase announced any new CSR benefit? I don't think so.

I like the time savings of Instacart+ a lot, but 1.5x redemptions is the reason I came back to CSR, and that's gone too.

Also a reminder that the benefit stacks from multiple cards. And multiple people. Between all the various lengths of credit on my and P2's cards, we're at a September 2024 expiration. So if you haven't activated any extra card credits you might have, this would be a good time.
