Instacart gift cards by market
About Instacart
Instacart gift cards give recipients a way to order groceries, household essentials, and more for same-day delivery from local stores. For a business deciding what to send people in the US or Canada, this is a practical reward that fits everyday needs: a freelance gig payout, a thank-you for research participants, a holiday gesture for remote employees, or an incentive for customers. GIFQ offers Instacart cards in the United States and Canada, each issued in its own currency and redeemable only in that country.
The US card is issued in US dollars, with any amount from $25 to $250. The Canadian card is issued in Canadian dollars, also with amounts from $25 to $250. Both cards have no expiry date, so recipients can keep the balance until they need it. These amounts and any other specifics are listed on each market page: Instacart USA and Instacart Canada.
A card for one market does not work in the other. A recipient in Canada needs the Canadian card; a recipient in the US needs the US card. If you are sending to people in both countries, you can issue both types from the same GIFQ dashboard or API integration, and each person gets the card for their own market.
Businesses use Instacart through GIFQ to send rewards or payouts at scale. You can process a batch of cards in one go from the dashboard, or you can use the API to send cards one at a time as part of an existing workflow. That makes it straightforward to reward a distributed team across North America, pay gig workers in their local currency, or run a customer promotion in two markets at once.
Instacart is a useful reward when the recipient can do something practical with it: order dinner, restock the pantry, or get household items delivered. It is less useful if the recipient needs cash for rent, bills, or other expenses outside the Instacart platform. Before choosing this card, consider whether your recipients are comfortable with grocery and household delivery, especially if they are in areas with limited Instacart coverage.
Choose the card’s market first
This is the brand’s overview page. The options above are products for different markets; open one to review the details that apply to your order.
Start with where it will be redeemed
Choose the option for the country where the card will be used. Each listing has its own redemption coverage, making it easier to find the right product for recipients in different markets.
Compare values and conditions
Currencies, denominations and terms can differ between products from the same brand. Review each market page and its instructions before deciding your selection or calculating the program budget.
Organize orders by product
For a program covering several countries, prepare the product, market, value and quantity needed for each group. Confirm your account pricing and delivery flow before moving from a test to a larger order.
Decide who chooses the brand
With a direct order, your business selects the card. If you would rather let each recipient choose, explore recipient-choice payouts and confirm the products supported for your program.
Frequently asked questions
Which countries does GIFQ offer Instacart gift cards in?
GIFQ offers Instacart gift cards in the United States and Canada. The US card is issued in US dollars, and the Canadian card is issued in Canadian dollars. Each card is sold separately and is redeemable only in its own country.
Can I use a US Instacart card in Canada?
No. The US Instacart card is redeemable only in the United States, and the Canadian Instacart card is redeemable only in Canada. If you have recipients in both countries, you will need to issue the appropriate card for each person.
How do I choose the right market for a recipient?
Choose the market based on where the recipient will place the Instacart order. For a recipient in the US, select Instacart USA. For a recipient in Canada, select Instacart Canada. The currency and card terms are set for that country, and the cards are not interchangeable.

GIFQ offers Instacart gift cards in the US for any amount from $25 to $250 USD, and in Canada for any amount from $25 to $250 CAD. Neither card has an expiry date. See the individual market pages for full details.
What kinds of recipients is an Instacart gift card good for?
Instacart is a practical reward for people who can use grocery or household delivery: employees, research participants, gig workers, creators, or customers. It works well where a tangible everyday gesture fits, but it is not a substitute for cash if the recipient needs to pay bills or other non-Instacart expenses.
Can I send Instacart cards in bulk through GIFQ?
Yes. GIFQ lets you send Instacart cards in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time through the API. You can issue both US and Canadian cards within the same workflow, each in the right currency and market for the recipient.
