Amazon Adds Uber Eats as Prime Restaurant Delivery Benefit, Phases Out Grubhub Tie-Up

Amazon and Uber announced a new partnership that lets U.S. Prime members order restaurant delivery directly through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app, powered by Uber Eats, with no delivery fee on orders of $25 or more, effective immediately, according to a joint release carried on FT Markets and reported by Newsday.

What the New Benefit Includes

Per the companies' statement, Prime members can order from hundreds of thousands of restaurants on the Uber Eats network without leaving Amazon's shopping app. Newsday reported that the $0 delivery fee applies to orders over $25, while the joint release carried on FT Markets describes the waiver as applying to orders of $25 or more. At launch, Prime members can also get $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more, available during the first 14 days, according to Yahoo Finance. Prime Visa cardmembers separately earn 5% back on all Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026, the FT Markets release stated.

Amazon's Jamil Ghani, worldwide vice president of Amazon Prime, said in the release that the tie-up reflects Prime's broader value proposition of fast delivery, savings and entertainment, now extended to restaurant delivery. Uber's Andrew Macdonald, president and chief operating officer, said the companies built an experience intended to make restaurant delivery feel as natural within the Amazon ecosystem as any other Uber Eats order, Newsday reported.

Grubhub Relationship Winding Down

The announcement marks a shift away from Amazon's prior restaurant-delivery partner. Seeking Alpha reported that Amazon selected Uber Eats as its official restaurant delivery partner, moving away from Grubhub, which is owned by Wonder Group. Newsday reported that Amazon said the existing Grubhub offer for Prime members will wind down once the Uber Eats partnership takes effect, though no specific wind-down date was disclosed in the available reporting. Amazon had added Grubhub as a Prime perk in 2024, and the Uber Eats deal is described as Amazon's second restaurant-delivery partnership.

Competitive Backdrop

The deal lands amid broader consolidation and competition in delivery. Yahoo Finance noted that Walmart has countered with a bundled Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus membership priced at $120 a year plus tax, and that DoorDash announced plans to acquire Instacart in a $17 billion deal shortly before the Amazon-Uber Eats news, a development Newsday said could consolidate the U.S. grocery-delivery business. Newsday also reported that Walmart's restaurant-delivery push began with Subway this past summer and has since expanded to select Dunkin' and Papa Johns locations, with Walmart saying it now has 2,400 restaurant locations on its restaurant delivery platform; since the Subway launch, 65% of those delivery orders have included other Walmart items, according to Walmart senior vice president of e-commerce transformation Greg Cathey. Separately, Yahoo Finance noted Amazon said earlier in the same week that it had added more than 6,000 items to its grocery options over the prior six months.

Market Reaction

Yahoo Finance's embedded Nasdaq quote showed Amazon (AMZN) shares closing at $266.03, up 6.12%, on November 4, with a further pre-market move to $272.02, up 2.25%, the following morning. Our calculation, based on those two reported figures, shows a $5.99 difference between the close and pre-market price (272.02 minus 266.03), a roughly 2.2% move relative to the pre-market level. This is a reported price observation tied to a specific timestamp, not a forecast. No comparable Uber (UBER) share-price reaction was included in the available reporting.

Bottom Line

Amazon is replacing Grubhub with Uber Eats as its in-app restaurant delivery benefit for Prime members, with the Grubhub offer set to wind down once the new partnership takes effect, per Amazon's own statement to Newsday. The move arrives alongside intensifying competition in delivery and grocery, including Walmart's bundled membership and DoorDash's pending Instacart acquisition, as reported by Yahoo Finance and Newsday.
