Amazon Prime Members Get Free Uber Eats Deliveries
Amazon named Uber Eats its official restaurant delivery partner for U.S. Prime members on Thursday. Members can order directly through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app.
- $0 delivery fees apply to Prime orders of $25 or more.
- No separate Uber account is required; Amazon payment methods work.
- Nearly 10,000 U.S. cities and towns support the integration.
- $20 off the first two qualifying orders runs Nov. 5 through Nov. 18.
Why it matters: The partnership replaces Amazon's Grubhub+ benefit, which an Amazon spokesperson said ends Thursday. It also expands an existing Amazon-Uber relationship.
- Existing ties include cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and Alexa+ integration.
- Grubhub's Prime deal waived delivery fees on orders over $12.
