Amazon Prime members in the US can now order Uber Eats meals without ever opening the Uber Eats app. Since Thursday, November 5, a restaurant order of $25 or more placed on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app carries a $0 delivery fee, and the old Grubhub+ perk that sat in the same slot for four years is gone.
Amazon and Uber announced the deal jointly, saying it covers hundreds of thousands of restaurants in nearly 10,000 American cities and towns. For readers outside the US: this is a US-only Prime benefit, and nothing in either company’s announcement extends it to Prime members in the UK, Canada or elsewhere.
How to start ordering
There is no account linking to do. That is the biggest practical change. Amazon says members sign in with the Amazon login they already have and pay with a card already saved to Amazon; Uber says no Uber account or separate credentials are required. The steps are short:
- Go to amazon.com/ubereats, or search “Uber Eats” inside the Amazon Shopping app.
- Sign in with your Amazon account and pick from restaurants near your address.
- Check out with an Amazon payment method. Amazon sends delivery updates by email and push notification, and Uber Eats sends the final order confirmation.
The fee waiver applies to orders from qualifying restaurants that reach $25. Amazon confirmed that service fees still apply, so a “$0 delivery” order is not a zero-fee order. Members on the cheaper Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access plans get the benefit too, and a Prime member can share it with one other adult in the household through Amazon Family.
Where it works
The companies describe the coverage as coast to coast and name examples at every scale: big metros such as Boston, Atlanta and Los Angeles; suburbs including Oak Park, Illinois, and Daphne, Alabama; and small places like Boardman, Oregon, and Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Amazon says the restaurant choice on its storefront is broadly similar to what the Uber Eats app shows, from chains such as Chipotle, Wingstop and Sweetgreen to local independents.
The launch offers, with dates
For the first 14 days, members get $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more. That is $40 in launch credit at most, two orders times $20. Separately, Prime Visa cardholders earn 5% back on Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026.
Amazon also claims members could save “more than $175 per year” through the fee waiver and Prime-only deals, which it points out is above the $139 annual Prime price. Treat that as the company’s own estimate: its fine print says the figure is based on a typical number of orders using August 2026 data, compared against ordering in the Uber Eats app without an Uber One subscription, and that savings per order will vary.
Uber Eats on Prime vs the old Grubhub+ perk
Amazon first offered Prime members a free year of Grubhub+ in 2022, then made it an ongoing benefit in May 2024. An Amazon spokesperson said the commercial agreement with Grubhub ended on Thursday, the same day the Uber deal launched. The two perks differ in ways that matter at checkout.
Minimum order. Grubhub+ waived delivery fees on eligible orders over $12, according to Amazon’s 2024 announcement. The Uber Eats perk sets the bar at $25, roughly double.
Service fees. Grubhub+ promised “lower service fees” on top of free delivery. The new perk waives the delivery fee only; Amazon says service fees still apply.
Pickup. Grubhub+ gave 5% credit back on pickup orders. Neither company’s announcement of the Uber Eats perk mentions a pickup reward.
Where you order. Grubhub+ was a full Grubhub membership in its own right, not a storefront discount. The Prime Uber Eats benefit covers only Uber Eats orders placed through Amazon. Amazon said paying Uber One subscribers keep their own $0 delivery benefits, but the two memberships run independently.
Setup. Grubhub+ needed a one-time activation at amazon.com/grubhub. The Uber Eats perk needs none.
If you already activated Grubhub+
Prime members can no longer place Grubhub orders through Amazon.com or the Amazon app, a Grubhub spokesperson confirmed. Anyone who had already switched on Grubhub+ through Prime keeps that membership until December 31, 2027.
Restaurant delivery is not new ground for Amazon. It ran its own Amazon Restaurants service, launched in Seattle in 2015 and later expanded to more than 20 US cities, before closing it in 2019. This time it is handing the kitchens and couriers to Uber.
“Whether it’s game night, family night, or date night, Prime’s new Uber Eats membership benefit makes getting dinner delivered even easier,” said Jamil Ghani, Amazon’s worldwide vice president of Prime. The first date to watch is about two weeks out, when the $20 launch credits expire, followed by the end of the Prime Visa 5% offer on December 5.
