Amazon puts Uber Eats inside Prime, and ends the Grubhub perk

Amazon is letting U.S. Prime members order restaurant delivery from Uber Eats on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app, without a separate Uber account, GeekWire reported Thursday morning. Orders of $25 or more skip the delivery fee. Amazon told GeekWire that service fees still apply. The company said the perk covers hundreds of thousands of restaurants in nearly 10,000 U.S. cities and towns, using the member's existing Amazon login and payment method.

The deal replaces a Prime benefit with Grubhub, which Amazon had made an ongoing perk in 2024 after a one-year trial. Amazon told GeekWire it ended that agreement after seeing a chance at a better restaurant-delivery experience. New users get $20 off their first two orders of $25 or more within 14 days, and Prime Visa cardholders earn 5 percent back on Uber Eats orders through December 5, GeekWire reported. Members who already pay for Uber One keep that membership's free-delivery benefit, but Amazon said the two memberships run separately and the Prime perk applies only to Uber Eats orders placed through Amazon.

Amazon shut its own Amazon Restaurants service in 2019, four years after launching it in Seattle. Uber's president and chief operating officer, Andrew Macdonald, said in a statement carried by GeekWire that the company was connecting its restaurant community with Prime members.
