Prime members can order from Uber Eats directly through Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app. For the first two weeks, Amazon and Uber are also offering $20 off a first order of $25 or more.
An Amazon spokesperson said the company’s commercial agreement with Grubhub, which gave members access to Grubhub+, ends Thursday. Amazon said it regularly evaluates third-party offers and identified an opportunity to provide a better restaurant delivery experience.
The change adds to Amazon and Uber’s existing ties, which include cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and the integration of Uber Eats into Amazon’s AI-powered Alexa+ assistant.
Amazon first partnered with Grubhub in 2022, offering Prime members a free Grubhub+ subscription. Two years later, the companies extended the deal, making the subscription an ongoing Prime benefit. Amazon also reached an agreement with Grubhub’s then-owner, Just Eat Takeaway.com, that could raise its equity stake in the food delivery company to as much as 18%.
Under the performance-based agreement, which was set to renew annually, Amazon could receive warrants for an additional stake in Grubhub. Just months after the deal was announced, Just Eat Takeaway said it planned to sell Grubhub to Wonder. According to Just Eat Takeaway’s annual report, Amazon elected in December 2024 to cash out its outstanding exercisable warrants.
The commercial partnership with Grubhub continued after that decision and ends Thursday. Grubhub could not be reached before publication.
