Amazon and Uber Eats announce partnership for Prime member benefits

Amazon and Uber have announced a partnership that allows U.S. Prime members to order from hundreds of thousands of restaurants via the Uber Eats network directly through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app. The integration is available in nearly 10,000 cities and towns across the United States.

New Prime Member Benefits

Under the terms of the agreement, Prime members will receive $0 delivery fees on Uber Eats orders of $25 or more placed through Amazon platforms. The partnership also includes "Prime-exclusive offers available only on Amazon," according to Amazon. As an introductory promotion, Prime members are eligible for $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more during the first 14 days of the service launch. Additionally, Prime Visa cardmembers will earn 5% back on all Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026.

Amazon stated that the integration could save Prime users as much as $175 a year, though the exact amount will vary based on individual usage. While delivery fees are waived for qualifying orders, the company confirmed that service fees still apply. Members who already pay for Uber One, which includes $0 delivery fees, will keep those benefits, though Amazon noted the two memberships operate independently and the Prime perk applies only to orders placed through Amazon.

"This is what Prime is all about: unlimited free, fast delivery on a wide selection of products, big savings, fantastic entertainment, and now even more value on restaurant delivery with Uber Eats, all in a single membership," said Jamil Ghani, Worldwide Vice President of Amazon Prime.

Transition from Grubhub

This partnership marks Amazon's second collaboration with a restaurant delivery partner. In 2024, Amazon added Grubhub as a permanent benefit for Prime members, who pay $14.99 monthly or $139 annually. Amazon stated that the Grubhub offer for these customers will wind down as the Uber Eats partnership begins. Amazon told GeekWire that it ended the Grubhub agreement after identifying "an opportunity to deliver an even better restaurant delivery experience."

This move follows Amazon's previous attempts at restaurant delivery. The company shut down its own Amazon Restaurants service in 2019, four years after its launch. Amazon also previously shut down Daily Dish, a workplace lunch delivery service launched in 2016, and closed its London service in 2018.

Competitive Landscape

Andrew Macdonald, President and COO of Uber, said the companies "built an experience for Prime members designed to make restaurant delivery feel as natural, convenient, and affordable as ordering anything else on Uber Eats."

The partnership occurs amid significant movement in the delivery and grocery sectors. DoorDash recently announced plans to acquire Instacart in a $17 billion deal. Meanwhile, Walmart has expanded its restaurant delivery platform to include 2,400 locations, including partnerships with Subway, Dunkin’, and Papa Johns. According to Greg Cathey, Walmart’s senior vice president of e-commerce transformation, 65% of Subway orders placed through the platform have included other items from Walmart.
