Amazon Replaces Grubhub With Uber Eats for Prime Members, Offering $0 Delivery Fees on Orders of $25 or More

Amazon and Uber announced on November 5 that U.S. Prime members can order restaurant meals through Uber Eats directly on Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app. Members can browse restaurants, place orders and follow deliveries using their existing Amazon credentials. They do not need to download the Uber Eats app or create a separate Uber account. Eligible restaurant orders of $25 or more qualify for a $0 delivery fee. New users can also receive $20 off each of their first two qualifying orders during the first 14 days.

The partnership replaces the Grubhub+ benefit that Amazon had offered to Prime members. Amazon added Grubhub+ to Prime in 2024. Its move to Uber Eats keeps the retailer reliant on an established delivery network rather than rebuilding its own restaurant-delivery operation. For Uber, the arrangement creates a new route to Amazon’s large membership base.

A waived delivery fee does not mean a fee-free order

Amazon says the benefit is available in nearly 10,000 U.S. cities and towns, with access to hundreds of thousands of restaurants. Members can use their Amazon account and existing payment methods, and the service includes restaurant options ranging from national chains to local businesses. Amazon also says members may receive exclusive promotions through its platform.

The company estimates that the benefit and related offers could save a typical member more than $175 a year. That figure is an estimate based on assumed order activity and promotional use, not a guaranteed saving for every subscriber.

Customers should distinguish a waived delivery fee from a completely fee-free order. Service fees, taxes, tips and differences in menu prices can still affect the final bill. The $25 minimum and promotional eligibility rules also mean the benefit does not apply to every order or every transaction.

What the deal means for Amazon and Uber

For Amazon, restaurant delivery adds another reason for Prime members to use its website and app regularly. The retailer can make food ordering part of a broader membership that already combines shopping, entertainment and other services. Amazon previously operated its own Amazon Restaurants service before shutting it down. Its latest move relies on Uber’s existing restaurant and courier network instead.

For Uber, the partnership offers access to potential customers who may not otherwise open the Uber Eats app. Uber supplies the delivery network and restaurant selection, while Amazon provides the membership relationship and ordering interface. Whether the deal produces durable growth will depend on delivery costs, promotional spending, restaurant commissions and repeat orders.

Members should compare the final price, not just the headline benefit

Prime currently costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Amazon’s estimated annual savings should not be treated as a fixed rebate. Before ordering, customers can compare menu prices, service fees, delivery coverage and estimated arrival times on Amazon and Uber Eats. They should also check whether the restaurant and order qualify for the $25 threshold.

The new benefit gives Prime members another way to order meals, but it does not eliminate Grubhub or other delivery services from the market. Customers can still choose a platform based on restaurant availability, the final checkout price and the quality of the delivery experience.
