Already, Chase gave most of its credit card holders a free year of Instacart back in 2021 lasting until April of this year.
In this article
Free 3-12 Months of Instacart Express with Chase
Then they began a partnership giving:
- Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve® holders got 12 free months of Instacart Express
- Sapphire® and Sapphire Preferred® holders got 6 months
- Freedom®, Freedom Flex℠, Freedom Unlimited®, Freedom® Student, Slate® and Slate Edge℠ cardholders got three months.
Now, New Instacart Statement Credits as Well
The statement credits will be doled out as follows:
- $15/month for Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve®
- $15/quarter for Sapphire® and Sapphire Preferred®
- $10/quarter for Freedom®, Freedom Flex℠, Freedom Unlimited®, Freedom® Student

Summary
I like that they really separated the $550 annual fee Sapphire Reserve from the $95 annual fee Sapphire Preferred. Reserve cardholders get $180 a year in credits while Sapphire holders get just $60.
The partnership has been growing steadily, including the release of the co-branded Instacart Mastercard® Credit Card.
