How to Get an Instacart Free Trial With a Virtual Credit Card

Instacart is a grocery and shopping delivery service that grew rapidly during the 2020 lockdowns. Instacart customers make grocery orders through the app and Instacart shoppers take on those orders - shopping and delivering them on behalf of the customer. If you are not yet an Instacart member and want to try the service, you have the opportunity to start with a free trial instead.

An Instacart free trial is easy to begin. You can find half a dozen opportunities for an Instacart free trial through third-party businesses.

Does the Instacart Free Trial Automatically Renew Into a Paid Subscription?

Yes. When you get a free trial from any of Instacart's partners, your timer starts ticking. When your free trial expires, you will be automatically renewed into a paid Instacart service.

Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

With so many free trials to choose from, how can DoNotPay help you keep your costs low and your groceries accessible? With free trials and virtual credit cards.

A virtual credit card is essentially a dummy card. When you need to sign up for a free trial that doesn't require payment until later, enter a virtual credit card instead of your payment card. This keeps your financial information secure and protects you from an unwanted full-priced subscription fee later on. If they can't charge your card, then they can't renew the subscription and you regain the choice of which brands to patronize.

DoNotPay can generate the randomly numbered free virtual credit cards for as many free trials as you want to try.

How Much Does Instacart Cost After the Trial?

Each Instacart free trial will leave you with an Instacart Express membership. This comes with the assumed obligation to pay for the cost of a full year after your free months. Instacart Express costs $9, billed annually, and saves you about $2 - $10 per order, depending on the fees.

That said, do not expect to get "Free" Instacart services even with trial or paid Express membership. In addition to the marked-up cost of groceries, Instacart still charges service fees and heavy-order fees in addition to the discounted delivery fee.
