Amazon has ended its ended its Grubhub+ arrangement for Prime members and replaced it with a direct Uber Eats integration built into Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app.
The Grubhub benefit became a permanent Prime offer in 2024 and waived delivery fees on eligible orders of $12 or more. The new Uber Eats deal sets that bar at $25.
What the Higher Threshold Means
The doubled minimum has real consequences depending on how and what you order.
For household orders or group meals, the $25 minimum is easy to clear. For a single lunch order, the higher floor is a meaningful step back from what Grubhub offered, since Grubhub’s lower threshold made the perk accessible for smaller, individual purchases.
The shift narrows the pool of customers who benefit most. Frequent delivery customers who regularly spend $25 or more per order are best positioned to take advantage of the new arrangement.
How the Integration Works
No separate Uber account, Uber login, or Uber app is required to place an order.
Members visit Amazon.com/ubereats or search “Uber Eats” in the Amazon Shopping app, browse participating restaurants, and check out using stored Amazon payment details. The integration reaches nearly 10,000 U.S. cities and towns.
Read the Fine Print on “Free Delivery”
The waived delivery fee comes with conditions that are worth understanding before you order.
The delivery fee is waived on qualifying orders of $25 or more placed through Amazon. Service fees, taxes, and tips may still apply , and if you’re concerned about paying too much, it’s worth tallying the full cost before checkout.
Amazon and Uber project potential savings of more than $175 annually. That figure depends on order frequency, order size, and the availability of qualifying promotions; it is not a guaranteed return for every Prime member.
Launch Offer
Eligible members can reduce the cost of their first two orders significantly during the introductory window.
At launch, eligible members receive $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more, as long as both orders are placed within the first 14 days.
Prime as a Bundled Platform
Amazon is deepening Prime’s identity as a broad service subscription rather than a shopping-only membership.
Embedding Uber Eats inside Amazon removes a layer of friction for existing Prime customers while giving Uber Eats access to Amazon’s large member base. The arrangement reflects a broader pattern of large platforms bundling third-party services, similar to how competitors have paired food delivery perks with credit cards and streaming subscriptions.
Existing Uber One memberships operate independently from this benefit. The Prime offer applies only to Uber Eats orders placed through Amazon and only when the $25 order minimum is met. If you’re stocking up between deliveries, browsing Amazon Kitchen Gadgets is a natural next step for Prime shoppers.
Who Actually Benefits
The value of this benefit depends heavily on how you already order food.
Frequent delivery customers who regularly exceed $25 per order stand to gain the most, especially when Prime-exclusive promotions are available. For lighter, single-meal orderers, the higher minimum makes this benefit less useful than what Grubhub provided at $12.
