Enjoy $10 Off $20 at Starbucks with GrubHub on 5/18!

Update 5/18/26: From 5/18 – 5/24 there is $10 off $20 at Starbucks, along with some other deals.

Update 5/16/26: Now states ‘We are blown away by the response to our Gold Days of Grubhub+ groceries offer! Given the overwhelming participation, we’re wrapping up this specific promotion a bit earlier than expected.’

Update 5/9/26: Major negative changes:

• Deal is now $50 off $150+
• Costco is excluded
• Wegman’s is excluded

Think this is deceptive advertising as it was clearly labeled as $50 off $100+ each weekend through 5/31/26 before. Don’t think there will really be much recourse but there are damages as people signed up for GrubHub+ on the basis of the promotion, have instacart credit locked there etc.

Old terms clearly stated the following:

“And that’s not all. From morning coffee runs to weekend grocery hauls, Gold Days covers every craving and every meal type. Grubhub+ members will also unlock rich local offers from neighborhood spots all month long, making it even easier to stack savings across every order. Plus, members get $20 off $40+ from Blue Apron (new diners only) and $50 off $100+ on grocery orders powered by Instacart every Saturday and Sunday in May, extending Gold Days value beyond takeout and into everyday essentials.”

The terms now say ‘limited time deals on eligible grocery orders powered by Instacart’ so I won’t be surprised if the deal becomes even worse than $50 off $150+.

Update 5/3/26: Reposting with a full F.A.Q at the bottom to hopefully help people. This is a fantastic deal and you should be able to do it 5 times during the promotion (once per weekend) so want it to be as easy as possible. If you see anything missing or that could be added let me know.

The Offer

Direct link to offer | Order Here

• GrubHub is launching a promotion called ‘Gold Days Of GrubHub’ from May 1 – May 31, 2026. Most of the deals seem pretty week but you can get $50 off $100+ on grocery orders via Instacart every Saturday and Sunday in May

Our Verdict

Requires GrubHub+, you can also get that for $0.99 a month during this promotion (enrolls you in auto billing so remember to cancel). Most readers will already have GrubHub+ from various promotions such as Amazon Prime.

F.A.Q’s

• The promotion isn’t showing, what do I do?
  • Must have GrubHub+ (free for Prime. Other options here)
  • Make sure you go to the groceries tab of GrubHub
  • Delete cart and add items if not showing
  • Sign out and back in
  • Try a different grocery chain and then go back to your preferred chain (remembering to empty cart between chains)
• Can I use Instacart gift cards? Yes, enter the Instacart gift card into the promotional code field. Keep in mind any remaining balance is then stuck in your GrubHub account and can only be used for GrubHub instacart purchases.
• Where can I get discounted Instacart gift cards? You can get 10% off here.
• Do Instacart promo codes work? No
• Do Instacart Chase credits work? No. Reminder if you’re not using your Instacart credits you can donate them.
• Do Mastercard Instacart credits work? No
• Will American Express credits for GrubHub work? No, codes as ‘Costco by Instacart’
• Can I use GrubHub credits? No
• Can I use GrubHub gift cards? No
• What happens if my total drops below $100 due to items out of stock? Nothing, the promotion will still apply. See here.
• Does it work on pickup orders? Yes.
• Can I do this multiple times? You can do it multiple times, but once per weekend. That means you can do it 5 items in total on the following dates:
  • 5/2 & 5/3
  • 5/9 & 5/10
  • 5/16 & 5/17
  • 5/23 & 5/24
  • 5/30 & 5/31
• Is there any way to reduce service fees? Not as far as I know
• Does this work on gift card purchases? Possibly.
• Does alcohol work? No.
• Does this offer trigger portals? Some portals (e.g Rakuten) specifically excluded Instacart purchases. Others don’t but use of the promotion probably excludes you. Please share in the comments if one tracks for you. Current portal rates here.
