What Happened
Amazon and Uber announced on Thursday, 5 November 2026 that Amazon Prime members in the United States can now order restaurant food from Uber Eats through Amazon's website and shopping app, with no delivery fee on orders of $25 or more. The service went live the same day and replaces Amazon's earlier arrangement with Grubhub, another food-delivery company. Prime members do not need an Uber account or a separate app to use it, the companies said.
Key Facts
- Announced: 5 November 2026, in a joint release by Amazon and Uber.
- Who gets it: Amazon Prime members in the United States.
- Benefit: $0 delivery fee on Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more, placed on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app.
- Reach: hundreds of thousands of restaurants in nearly 10,000 US cities and towns, according to the companies.
- Introductory offer: new Prime members can get $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more.
- Savings claim: the companies say exclusive promotions can add up to more than $175 a year in potential savings.
- Grubhub: the Grubhub+ arrangement for Prime members has ended for new sign-ups; members who already activated it can keep using it until the date set by Amazon.
- Uber One: existing Uber One subscribers keep their own benefits.
Why It Matters
Amazon has tried restaurant delivery before. It once ran its own restaurant-delivery service, which it later shut down, and then turned to partnerships. This deal goes a step further than the Grubhub tie-up because Prime members order inside Amazon's own app, without leaving it or creating an Uber login. For Amazon, that keeps shoppers on its platform and adds another reason to pay for Prime. For Uber, it opens a large new pool of customers who may never have downloaded the Uber Eats app.
The move also shows how big technology platforms are turning into "super-apps" that bundle shopping, video, music and now restaurant meals into one membership. Amazon's Prime benefits differ by country, and this announcement covers only the United States, so nothing changes for Prime members in India today. It is, however, a model that the industry watches: bundling food delivery into a broad subscription is one way companies try to win loyalty in a crowded market.
The savings figure is the companies' claim and depends on how often a member orders. The deal's real test will be whether Prime members switch from apps they already use, and whether restaurants see more orders.
Peepals calculation: The companies' claimed savings of more than $175 a year work out to about $14.60 a month ($175 ÷ 12 ≈ 14.58). The introductory offer of $20 off on each of two $25 orders totals $40, which equals 80% of the minimum order value on each of those two orders ($20 ÷ $25 = 0.8). Our calculation from the reported figures.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Partners | Amazon and Uber (Uber Eats) |
| Start | 5 November 2026, United States |
| Free delivery threshold | Orders of $25 or more |
| Coverage | Nearly 10,000 US cities and towns |
| Replaces | Grubhub+ benefit for Prime members |
Impact
Short-term: US Prime members can order Uber Eats meals in the Amazon app immediately, and Uber Eats gets exposure to Amazon's large customer base.
Long-term: If the deal draws heavy use, it could strengthen both companies against rival delivery services and encourage more bundling of food delivery into broad subscription plans.
Who is affected: Amazon Prime members in the US; Uber Eats restaurants and delivery workers; Grubhub, which loses the Prime arrangement; and rival delivery companies.
Key Takeaway
From 5 November 2026, US Amazon Prime members can order Uber Eats restaurant meals inside Amazon's app with no delivery fee on orders of $25 or more, replacing the earlier Grubhub benefit.
