Amazon is replacing Grubhub with Uber Eats as the official restaurant delivery partner for Prime members in the U.S., effective November 5, 2026. This marks the end of the existing offering that included free Grubhub+ access for Prime users. Under the new deal, Prime customers can place food orders via Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app without needing an Uber account, and delivery fees are waived for orders over $25.
A New Prime Benefit
The updated agreement grants Prime members seamless ordering from Uber Eats directly through Amazon’s platforms. Previously, the Grubhub arrangement had given Prime users a free Grubhub+ subscription. That deal originated in 2022 and was expanded in subsequent years to become a standing offering. However, Amazon has now opted to end that collaboration in favor of what it describes as a superior restaurant delivery experience. To sweeten the transition, Amazon and Uber are offering $20 off the first order of $25 or more for Prime users during the first two weeks.
Deeper Amazon-Uber Ties
This shift builds on a growing partnership between Amazon and Uber. The two companies already collaborate in multiple areas, including cloud infrastructure, autonomous vehicle unit Zoox, and integrations involving Amazon’s Alexa+ assistant. For Amazon, this new deal gives Prime members another asset to justify the membership fee — restaurant delivery becomes more tightly integrated into the Prime ecosystem.
The terminated Grubhub deal was much more than just a benefit. Amazon had invested in Grubhub partially through Just Eat Takeaway, which had given Amazon rights to warrants for up to an 18% equity stake, pending performance conditions. However, when Just Eat Takeaway decided to sell Grubhub to Wonder, Amazon chose to cash out its remaining warrants in December 2024. From then through today, Amazon and Grubhub’s commercial tie has officially been allowed to expire.
As of November 5, Prime members can immediately begin ordering Uber Eats through Amazon.com or the Shopping app with no Uber account needed, and enjoy fee-free delivery on orders above $25. Grubhub now loses its status as the Prime restaurant delivery partner.
What this means in context: the food delivery space has become a battleground for loyalty perks, and Prime is increasingly using restaurant delivery to retain members. For Uber Eats, gaining Amazon’s Prime audience opens access to millions of high-value customers. For Amazon, giving members a seamless restaurant delivery option—integrated directly into its own shopping channels—bolsters Prime’s value proposition. What to watch next: whether this prompts new moves from Grubhub to partner with other platforms, how many Prime members adopt the Uber Eats service, and whether similar integrations become standard in subscription ecosystems.
