Chase Slate® Credit Card

• 3 months of free Instacart+ membership upon activation of perk

It’s always nice to receive additional benefits on existing credit card products, and it looks like Chase’s growing partnership with Instacart is a win for everyone thus far. 

These perks are perfect for occasional Instacart customers who want to earn rewards for everyday spend on grocery and retail deliveries, but don’t want to sign up for a dedicated Instacart credit card. 

Customers must sign up for Instacart+ by July 31, 2024, in order to be eligible for the free months of membership and monthly or quarterly statement credits. Existing Instacart customers are also eligible to take advantage of the complimentary membership and statement credits, and can redeem this offer on each of their qualifying credit cards. 

Once your complimentary Instacart+ subscription expires, Instacart will automatically begin billing the membership fee directly to the credit card on file. So, if you hold multiple Chase cards that are eligible for the benefit, set a calendar alert to switch out the card on file with Instacart before your billing date kicks in. 

And if you don’t want to renew your subscription when your membership runs out, make sure to cancel before your first billing date rolls around if the benefits and savings from Instacart+ don’t outweigh the $9.99 monthly fee for you.
