Amazon Prime: Uber Eats integration replaces Grubhub access
Members can now order from Uber Eats restaurants without delivery fees on orders over $25, a change that ends the previous Grubhub partnership.

Amazon has added Uber Eats to its Prime membership benefits in the United States, effective immediately.
The change replaces the retailer's existing partnership with Grubhub, which began in 2024. Amazon stated that the Grubhub offer for Prime customers will end as the Uber Eats association begins. This marks the second time the Seattle-based company has integrated a restaurant food delivery service into its ecosystem. Prime members, who pay $14.99 per month or $139 annually, gain access to hundreds of thousands of restaurants through the Amazon website and shopping app.
Under the new agreement, Prime members can order from Uber Eats without delivery fees on purchases exceeding $25. At launch, members receive $20 off their first two qualifying orders, a discount valid for the first 14 days. The companies announced the terms in a joint statement.
Andrew Macdonald, president and chief operating officer of Uber, said the collaboration builds an experience for Prime members. He noted the goal is to make restaurant delivery feel as natural and affordable as ordering other items on the platform.
The move follows a recent announcement from DoorDash. Last month, DoorDash said it would pay $17 billion to acquire Instacart. The deal aims to combine DoorDash's global logistics with Instacart's technology and supermarket relationships. The acquisition positions the combined entity to compete with other rivals entering the restaurant delivery market.
Walmart has also expanded its delivery services. The retailer partnered with Subway, its largest in-store restaurant tenant, last summer. It has since added specific locations for Dunkin' and Papa Johns. Walmart now lists 2,400 restaurant locations on its delivery platform. Greg Cathey, senior vice president of e-commerce transformation at Walmart, reported that 65% of orders placed through the Subway partnership include other Walmart items.
The Uber Eats and Amazon integration allows users to place orders directly within the Amazon interface, merging the two services for Prime subscribers.
