Amazon Replaces Grubhub With Uber Eats For Us Prime Delivery
Prime members can now order Uber Eats through Amazon, with no delivery fee on qualifying orders, as Amazon’s Grubhub agreement ends.
Amazon has named Uber Eats its restaurant-delivery partner for Prime members in the United States, replacing its arrangement with Grubhub. Members can place Uber Eats orders through Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app without creating a separate Uber account. The change brings a new delivery benefit to Prime while ending the Grubhub offer that began in 2022.

How the Uber Eats benefit works
Prime members ordering through Amazon will pay no delivery fee on Uber Eats orders of more than $25, according to TechCrunch. Engadget describes the threshold as $25 or more. Both outlets say the benefit applies to orders placed on Amazon’s website or shopping app; neither describes the new offer as a blanket waiver of all order charges.
Engadget reports that the integration will be available in nearly 10,000 US cities and towns. It also says Amazon is promising Prime-exclusive offers available only through its platforms. To introduce the partnership, Amazon and Uber are offering Prime members $20 off each of their first two orders of $25 or more during the first two weeks, according to TechCrunch.
Amazon estimates that the Uber Eats integration could save a Prime member as much as $175 a year, Engadget reports. Actual savings would depend on how often a member orders restaurant delivery.
What happens to the Grubhub offer
Amazon’s commercial agreement with Grubhub ended on Thursday, an Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch. A Grubhub spokesperson also confirmed the end of the agreement. Prime members can no longer place Grubhub orders through Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app, but those who had already activated Grubhub+ can continue using that membership through December 31, 2027, TechCrunch reports.
The companies first partnered in 2022, when Amazon offered Prime members a free Grubhub+ subscription. They expanded the arrangement in 2024, making the membership an ongoing Prime benefit. TechCrunch reports that Amazon also had a performance-based agreement that could have increased its stake in Grubhub to as much as 18%. Amazon elected to cash out its outstanding exercisable warrants in December 2024, according to a Just Eat Takeaway annual report cited by TechCrunch, while the commercial partnership continued.
A broader Amazon-Uber relationship
The restaurant-delivery deal adds to existing ties between Amazon and Uber. According to TechCrunch, the companies already work together on cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and an Uber Eats integration with Amazon’s Alexa+ assistant. Amazon told TechCrunch it regularly assesses third-party Prime offers and saw an opportunity to improve the restaurant-delivery experience.
