Amazon Prime Members Can Order Uber Eats Restaurant Delivery Through Amazon
Amazon has selected Uber Eats as its official restaurant delivery partner for Prime subscribers in the US. Users will be able to order food directly from Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app. They will not need to create a separate Uber account or switch to the Uber Eats app. The agreement has replaced the previous partnership with Grubhub.
Prime members will not pay a delivery fee when placing an order worth at least $25 (approximately 43 manats) through Amazon. The service will operate in approximately 10,000 cities and towns across the US. During the first 2 weeks, customers will receive a $20 (approximately 34 manats) discount on their first order of at least $25. Amazon has also announced that there will be exclusive promotions available only on its platform. Customers will be able to use existing payment methods saved to their Amazon accounts at checkout. Amazon will send notifications when an order is accepted and delivered. The final receipt will come from Uber Eats. According to the companies’ estimates, this new offering could save members up to $175 (approximately 300 manats) per year. However, actual savings will depend on the number of orders. The benefit covers only the delivery fee. Service fees, local charges, courier tips and menu markups may be included in the order total. The $25 minimum requirement may make the benefit less worthwhile for individual and small orders. The partnership aims to make it easier to order restaurant meals, groceries and everyday products from the same platform.
Amazon had provided Prime members with a free Grubhub+ subscription since 2022. The company made it a permanent benefit in 2024. The Grubhub+ benefit ended on the day the new partnership was announced. Under the previous agreement, Amazon could increase its stake in Grubhub to as much as 18 percent, depending on the results. Just Eat Takeaway.com later announced plans to sell the service to Wonder. In December 2024, Amazon chose to cash out its warrants granting it the right to purchase shares. The agreement expands the existing partnership between Amazon and Uber. The companies are also working on cloud services, Zoox robotaxis and integrating Uber Eats with the AI-powered Alexa+ assistant. Amazon shut down its own Amazon Restaurants service years ago. The company is now returning to the restaurant delivery market with the help of a partner. Uber also gains access to tens of millions of Prime customers.
