Prime Uber Eats Perk Replaces Grubhub+: What Amazon Members Get

Amazon Prime members can now order restaurant delivery from Uber Eats without leaving Amazon, and the Prime Uber Eats benefit takes the place of the Grubhub+ perk that members have had since 2022. Orders of $25 or more from qualifying restaurants carry a $0 delivery fee, there is no separate Uber account to create, and the switch happened on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

If you pay for Prime, here is who gains, what you lose, and what to do this week.

Who can use the Prime Uber Eats benefit

According to Amazon's announcement, the perk is open to every Prime member in the U.S. starting November 5. That includes the two discounted plans: Prime for Young Adults (ages 18 to 24) and Prime Access, which is aimed at people on qualifying government assistance and income verified customers.

You order on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app, sign in with your normal Amazon login, and pay with a card already saved to your account. Amazon sends delivery updates by email and push notification, and Uber Eats sends the final order confirmation.

A few details are easy to miss:

• The $25 floor matters. A $22 lunch order does not qualify for the free delivery fee.
• Household sharing works. Through Amazon Family, a member can share the benefit with one other adult in the home.
• Coverage is wide. Amazon says the service reaches hundreds of thousands of restaurants and nearly every U.S. household, from big cities to small towns, with chains like Chipotle, Wingstop and Sweetgreen in the mix.
• It is U.S. only. Amazon's post mentions no other country.

The launch offers, and how long they last

Amazon is front loading the deal. For the first 14 days, members get $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more. Prime Visa cardholders also earn 5% back on all Uber Eats orders placed through December 5, 2026.

Amazon claims a typical customer could save more than $175 a year. Read the fine print on that number. The estimate compares ordering through Prime against ordering from Uber Eats directly without an Uber One membership, and it is based on August 2026 order data. Amazon itself says savings per order vary and are not guaranteed, and that offers can change or end at any time.

Prime still costs $14.99 a month or $139 a year, so the food perk is a sweetener, not a reason by itself to sign up unless you order delivery often.

What happens to your Grubhub+ membership

This is the part existing users care about most. According to TechCrunch, which spoke with spokespeople for both Amazon and Grubhub, the agreement that gave Prime members free Grubhub+ ended on November 5. Prime members can no longer place Grubhub orders through Amazon.com or the Amazon app.

There is a grace period. If you already activated Grubhub+ through Prime, that membership keeps working through December 31, 2027, TechCrunch reported. If you never activated it, the Grubhub door is now closed through Prime.

The split ends a relationship that started in July 2022, when Amazon gave Prime members a free year of Grubhub+ and later made it an ongoing benefit. In 2024 Amazon expanded the deal and took warrants tied to a Grubhub stake, and months later Just Eat Takeaway agreed to sell Grubhub to Wonder, TechCrunch noted. Amazon and Uber already work together on cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and Uber Eats ordering through Alexa+. Uber has been busy layering AI onto its apps too, though its AI agents booked just four rides in their busiest week.

A checklist for Prime members this week

1. Check whether you have an active Grubhub+. Open the Grubhub app and look at your membership. If it shows as active through Prime, you can keep using it until the end of 2027, so you now have two delivery options.
2. Try one order on Amazon before the 14 day window closes. The two $20 credits only apply at the start, so place a real order you would make anyway, at $25 or more.
3. Compare against Uber One if you pay for it. If you already subscribe to Uber One, the Amazon route may not save you much. Price the same order both ways once before you cancel anything.
4. Audit your subscriptions. Overlapping perks are how money leaks. Our guide to finding and canceling forgotten subscriptions walks through Amazon, Apple and Google.
5. Ignore "claim your Uber Eats credit" emails. New perks draw phishing. The benefit lives on amazon.com/ubereats and in the Amazon app, and you do not need to click a link from an email. If something looks off, these scam email red flags help.
6. Set up the household share. If someone else in your home orders dinner, add them through Amazon Family so the free delivery covers their orders too.

Why Amazon keeps adding food to Prime

Amazon keeps bundling everyday services into Prime to justify the yearly fee, and restaurant delivery is one of the most frequent purchases a household makes. Putting Uber Eats inside the Amazon app also keeps you on Amazon's turf, the same logic behind devices like the new Alexa Tablets. For Uber, the payoff is a direct line to Prime shoppers who may never have downloaded its app.

The quiet question is the $25 minimum. Grubhub+ through Prime set the bar at orders over $12 when it launched in 2022. Small orders now cost more to deliver through Prime than they once did, so solo diners should do the math before assuming the new perk is a straight upgrade.
