Our Verdict
I believe some people use this service anyway, so it could turn out to a free $100 if you can meet the $250 threshold.
A few purchase from COSTCO BY INSTACART with the last transaction on February 3 totaling $250. Got the $50 credit on February 8.
I hit over $250 on instacart almost 2 weeks ago, still no credit. Are you guys seeing a delay in credits too?
I’m experiencing the same thing. I hit the $250 mark in one transaction a while ago, and… crickets.
On second thought, disregard. It showed up today.
Will buying $500+ order trigger 2x the bonus?
Any positive DPs yet ? Does the express membership count ?
Does anyone know if you would still receive $50 if you use an Instacart offer in the same grocery order? I’ve got an Instacart $20 off $100 offer and wondering if this will stack?
Do we think Instacart express counts toward the $250?
Does this work on instacart purchases at costco? Shows up on statement as costco by instacart
If you buy from instacart.com, it should as it typically codes as INSTACART
If you buy from sameday.costco.com, it will code as costco as you mentioned and most likely will not trigger the amex bonus.
Nope, it codes as Costco by Instacart, Should still work for the promo but I would not count on Amex to figure this out automatically.
This offer so good while I have to spend $250. How can I spend so much money on grocery, burh
Actual offer reads “Get a $50 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $250 in one or more transactions,” so the $250 spend doesn’t have to be all at once.
You are correct. I just confirmed this with Amex Chat agent.
Added, thanks
Bummer I don’t have this offer (and none of the others posted about today) on a 1 month old Platinum.
i think most of these offers have the fine print that the card must be opened as of Nov 1 or Nov 11 so most folks who have got the Plat as part of the 100k + 10x SUB will not see these offers
