Flying High: Instacart Teams Up with Chase & United to Bring Exclusive Benefits to the United MileagePlus Credit Cards

We know that United MileagePlus Cardmembers are always on the move—traveling for both work and fun. But whether at home or on-the-go, these savvy consumers need a partner that can help them not only simplify, but add even more value to their lives. That’s why today, we’re excited to announce that we’re expanding our long-standing relationship with Chase by offering a slew of new shopping benefits to United MileagePlus Cardmembers. 

Starting now, eligible United MileagePlus Cardmembers will be able to gain access to a complimentary Instacart+ membership, discounts on annual Instacart+ renewals, and monthly in-app credits depending on the card. 

All Instacart+ members—including trial memberships—enjoy $0 grocery delivery fees*. With the industry’s lowest minimum basket size of $10 for Instacart+ members, we’re making it even easier for members to turn to Instacart for all of their needs.

Once Cardmembers become annual Instacart+ members—complimentary for certain United MileagePlus Cardmembers—they can also take advantage of hundreds of dollars of additional Instacart annual benefits including:

• Subscription to Peacock at no additional cost
• Subscription to New York Times Cooking at no additional cost***
• Free Family Sharing – Instacart+ members can share $0 delivery fees with up to three people in a Family account

As the leading online grocery marketplace, we're dedicated to bringing Instacart to the most customers possible, and establishing this new benefit for United MileagePlus Cardmembers helps us do just that. These new Instacart benefits are part of an exciting portfolio-wide update of the United MileagePlus Cards, where cardmembers now receive new and enhanced benefits designed to make flying United even more rewarding, valuable and personalized. And today’s news is just the beginning as we look forward to announcing more ways we’re partnering with Chase.

“Over the past few years, we’ve introduced Chase Cardmembers to the benefits of Instacart and Instacart+, and today we’re thrilled to be expanding our relationship even further by bringing United MileagePlus Cardmembers into the fold,” said Heather Rivera, Vice President, Strategy, Corporate Development, and Partnerships. “As anyone who travels often can attest, there is nothing more comforting than having your groceries or a last-minute purchase delivered effortlessly to your front door—either to your home, or your home away from home. Instacart is here to help do the shopping so that Cardmembers can spend more of their time on what matters most, whether that’s relaxing on vacation or focusing on their business trip.”
