Grocery technology firm Instacart powers $10 monthly delivery credit for Costco executive members

Instacart reports that, starting 30th June, Costco executive members in the US and Canada will receive a $10 monthly credit on an order of $150 or more. This can be used on same-day delivery orders on sameday.costco.com, sameday.costco.ca, or orders via Instacart.

Instacart enables delivery of Costco’s warehouse items to members’ doorsteps in as fast as an hour..

“Costco executive members expect exceptional value – and now, they can get even more delivered to their door,” says Daniel Danker, Chief Product Officer at Instacart. “Our new monthly credit makes it easier than ever for members across North America to get Costco’s warehouse items with the convenience of fast and reliable delivery through Instacart.”

The pair first partnered for same-day delivery in 2017 and later expanded the tie up to include Costco’s same-day delivery website powered by Instacart Storefront Pro in 2021. 

Chris Rogers

Last month, Instacart announced that it had appointed Chris Rogers as Chief Executive Officer, effective 15th August. He’ll also join the grocery technology firm’s board of directors. Fidji Simo, the current CEO, will remain Chair of the board.

Rogers joined Instacart in 2019 and currently serves as Chief Business Officer, where he oversees all aspects of the company’s commercial operations, including retailer relationships and expansions, ad sales and R&D, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, Instacart Business, and Instacart Health.

“Over the last four years, we’ve transformed Instacart into a growing, profitable, leading technology platform that’s helping reshape the grocery industry. We’re building a generational company at the intersection of technology and food, and Chris is the right leader for our next chapter. He brings the kind of vision, operational excellence, and customer obsession that will help Instacart play an even bigger role in people’s lives - and I couldn’t be more excited to see how Chris scales the company’s impact from here,” says Simo.

“Instacart sits at the centre of how people shop, eat, and care for their families - and that’s always been what inspires me most about our mission. Together with our partners, we’re transforming the future of grocery shopping, but more importantly, we’re helping people solve real, everyday needs,” says Rogers. “We have a world class team, deep partnerships, leading technology, and a bold vision for the future, and I’m honoured to step in and lead Instacart’s next chapter.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Grocery technology will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
