Amazon Swaps Grubhub for Uber Eats in Prime Perks Shake-Up

Amazon Prime Members Now Get Uber Eats Restaurant Delivery Perks in the U.S.

Amazon has named Uber Eats as its official restaurant delivery partner for Prime members in the United States, marking a major shift in its food delivery strategy and bringing new dining benefits directly into the Amazon experience.

With the new partnership, Prime members can order from restaurants through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app without needing to create a separate Uber account. Eligible members will also receive $0 delivery fees on Uber Eats restaurant orders over $25, adding another practical perk to the Prime membership package.

The move replaces Amazon’s previous restaurant delivery arrangement with Grubhub, which has now ended. Prime members can no longer place Grubhub orders through Amazon’s website or shopping app. However, customers who already activated a Grubhub+ membership through Prime will still be able to use that benefit until December 31, 2027.

To promote the launch, Amazon and Uber are offering Prime members $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more during the first two weeks of the program. The limited-time deal is designed to encourage Prime users to try the new ordering experience and explore restaurant delivery through Amazon’s platform.

This partnership builds on the growing relationship between Amazon and Uber. The two companies already work together across several areas, including cloud services, autonomous vehicle projects, and AI-powered services such as Alexa+. Adding Uber Eats to Amazon’s Prime ecosystem gives both companies a larger role in everyday consumer spending, especially in the highly competitive food delivery market.

For Amazon, the deal is another way to make Prime feel more valuable. As subscription services compete for household budgets, Amazon continues to add benefits beyond fast shipping and streaming. Restaurant delivery perks give members a reason to engage with Amazon more often, especially when ordering meals from local restaurants.

The change also brings an end to Amazon’s close commercial relationship with Grubhub. Amazon first partnered with the food delivery company in 2022, offering Prime members free access to Grubhub+. In 2024, that offer was expanded into an ongoing Prime benefit. Amazon also had a performance-based investment arrangement tied to Grubhub when it was owned by Just Eat Takeaway.com, with the potential to increase its stake in the delivery company.

That arrangement shifted after plans were announced to sell Grubhub to Wonder. Amazon later chose to cash out on certain outstanding warrants, while the commercial partnership continued until this latest transition.

For Prime members, the biggest takeaway is simple: Uber Eats is now the restaurant delivery option built into Amazon in the U.S. Members can browse restaurants, place orders through Amazon’s website or app, and save on delivery fees when meeting the $25 order minimum.

The partnership could make food delivery more convenient for millions of Prime subscribers while giving Amazon another strong incentive to keep customers inside its ecosystem. For Uber Eats, the deal offers access to one of the largest paid membership bases in the country, potentially driving more restaurant orders and increasing visibility among frequent online shoppers.
