Amazon has changed its restaurant delivery perk for Prime members. As of November 5, 2026, eligible U.S. Prime members can order restaurant delivery through Uber Eats inside Amazon’s website and shopping app, with $0 delivery fees on qualifying orders of $25 or more.
That swap matters to diners looking for a simpler way to order dinner, and it could also matter to restaurants that gain exposure to Amazon’s huge Prime audience through Uber Eats’ network.
What Amazon changed for Prime members
Amazon said the new benefit launched November 5 and is available to Prime members in the U.S. through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app. Orders are fulfilled by Uber Eats, and customers do not need a separate Uber Eats account to get started if they enter through Amazon. According to Amazon, the offer applies to restaurant delivery orders of $25 or more, and other charges such as service fees, taxes, and tips may still apply.
The move replaces Amazon’s previous arrangement with Grubhub. Restaurant Business reported that Amazon had offered Prime members free access to Grubhub+ and the ability to order from Grubhub within Amazon, but Amazon has now shifted that benefit to Uber Eats. Amazon said the Uber arrangement gives members access to hundreds of thousands of restaurants and potential savings of more than $175 a year.
To promote the launch, Amazon said Prime members can get $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more. Amazon also said Prime Visa card members can earn 5% back on Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026. Uber’s help page adds one important detail for diners: the Prime delivery benefit works only when the order is started through Amazon, not by opening the regular Uber Eats app first.
Why restaurants may see a benefit
For restaurants, the biggest upside is reach. Amazon said the Uber Eats benefit extends across the U.S. and gives Prime members access to a large delivery network through Amazon’s own shopping experience. Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said in Amazon’s announcement that the companies are connecting Uber’s restaurant community with new Prime customers.
That matters because restaurant delivery is increasingly about discovery as much as convenience. If diners can browse takeout the same way they shop for household items, restaurants may gain another digital storefront inside an app millions of people already use regularly. Amazon also said the service reaches nearly every U.S. household through Uber Eats’ network, which broadens the pool of possible customers for participating restaurants.
There are limits. Uber’s FAQ says the launch covers restaurant delivery, not grocery or retail orders, and that Uber One benefits do not apply to orders placed through Amazon. Even so, for restaurants already on Uber Eats, the partnership could create incremental traffic without asking customers to download another app or create another login.
What current Grubhub users should know
The change is immediate for Amazon’s new restaurant delivery setup, but some existing Grubhub users are not losing access overnight. Restaurant Business reported that, according to a statement from Grubhub owner Wonder, Prime members who are already signed up for Grubhub+ will continue to receive that benefit through December 31, 2027.
For home cooks and busy families, the practical takeaway is straightforward. If dinner plans fall through, Prime now offers another built-in route to restaurant delivery directly inside Amazon, with a $25 order threshold for the $0 delivery fee. Customers should still watch the final checkout screen, since service fees, taxes, tips, and other charges can remain even when the delivery fee is waived.
Amazon framed the change as part of adding more value to Prime, while Restaurant Business noted the switch comes as Amazon and Uber face pressure from rivals including DoorDash and Walmart in delivery. For restaurants, though, the near-term story is less about corporate rivalry and more about visibility. A listing on Uber Eats may now put a restaurant in front of Prime members at the exact moment they are deciding what to order for dinner.
