This small difference accounts for potential changes in the final total due to special requests, added items, items replaced at a different price, and actual weight of items. When processing orders, we place a temporary authorization hold on your gift card for a slightly higher amount than your estimated order total. Likewise, if the order total after adding items exceeds the amount on your gift card, we charge the difference to the credit or debit card you entered at checkout. If the order total after adding items exceeds the authorization hold, then the credit or debit card on file is charged even if you have enough funds on the gift card to cover the extra items. Note: Instacart charges any items added during shopping or after checkout to your gift card unless the amount is more than the authorization hold.

You must add a credit or debit card at checkout to use your gift card, even if the gift card fully covers your total purchase amount. Note: If you redeem a gift card before you check out, the gift card amount applies to that order. Any remaining balance shows in your account under Gift card credit and applies to your next order. I n the Instacart gift card line in your subtotal, you’ll see your gift card applied to your current order.
