Amazon Prime’s Uber Eats Perk: What the $40 Offer Covers
Prime members can get delivery fee savings and up to $40 off two qualifying Uber Eats orders. Fees, taxes and tips can still raise the bill.
Amazon Prime’s new Uber Eats benefit adds a restaurant delivery option to a membership many households already pay for. Members can get $0 delivery fees on qualifying orders, and a short introductory offer cuts $20 off each of their first two eligible orders. The savings can help, but the delivery fee is only one part of the final bill.
What Prime members get through Amazon
The benefit is available to U.S. Prime members, including members with discounted Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access memberships. Members can browse thousands of restaurants through Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app and place an order without creating a separate Uber Eats account or downloading its app.
To get started, visit Amazon.com/ubereats, or open the Amazon Shopping app and search for “Uber Eats.” Sign in with an Amazon account, look through nearby restaurants and check out using saved payment methods. The process keeps the order within Amazon’s site or app, while the restaurant selection and delivery benefit come through Uber Eats.
The $0 delivery fee applies to qualifying restaurant orders of $25 or more. For the first 14 days following the November 5 launch, eligible Prime members can also take $20 off each of their first two qualifying orders of at least $25. Used on both orders, the introductory discount can total up to $40.
Prime Visa cardholders have a separate offer: they can earn 5% back on Uber Eats orders placed through December 5, 2026. That benefit is tied to using the Prime Visa card, while the delivery fee and introductory discount are described as Prime membership benefits.
Check the order details before paying. A $0 delivery fee does not remove service fees, applicable taxes, regulatory charges or the tip. Those costs can change what the meal actually costs, even when the delivery line shows no charge.
The switch from Grubhub
Amazon introduced a Grubhub benefit in 2024, giving Prime members access to a free Grubhub+ membership. That membership included $0 delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders. Amazon is now replacing that benefit with Uber Eats.
The commercial agreement between Amazon and Grubhub ends November 5, 2026, the same day the new Uber Eats benefit launches. Prime members who relied on Grubhub+ through Amazon will need to use Uber Eats through Amazon to keep receiving the restaurant delivery savings described here. Existing members can use their Amazon account and Prime membership; they don’t need to set up a separate Uber Eats account.
The change matters most to members who used the Grubhub perk regularly. They’ll want to check whether their preferred restaurants appear in the new ordering experience and compare the checkout total before assuming the new benefit will produce the same savings for their usual meals.
Compare the full cost before ordering
For an existing Prime member, there’s no extra membership charge for this perk. The introductory discount may also make a couple of eligible orders less expensive. But a waived delivery fee alone doesn’t show whether delivery is the lowest-cost way to buy a meal.
Service fees, taxes, regulatory charges and tips can still apply. Restaurant prices on delivery platforms may also be higher than prices for the same items ordered directly. Before placing an order, compare the total at checkout with the restaurant’s direct ordering option or the cost of picking up the food. The useful comparison is the final amount for the same meal, including any charges and tip.
Membership cost also matters if you’re considering Prime mainly for restaurant delivery. Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Those prices are separate from the cost of meals, and the delivery perk’s value depends on how often you order, whether your restaurants participate and what fees appear at checkout. The benefit may be convenient for existing members; it’s harder to judge as a reason to join without weighing the full membership cost against the services you’ll actually use.
A limited introductory offer for new members
Amazon is offering eligible customers who aren’t Prime members two months of membership for $4.99 per month. The new Uber Eats perk requires Prime membership, so the introductory membership price could provide a lower-cost way to try the service if you qualify. After the two months, membership renews at the regular $14.99 monthly rate unless canceled.
Prime also includes free shipping on eligible orders, Prime Video and exclusive deals. Consider those benefits alongside the delivery offer when deciding whether the membership fits your budget. If you sign up for the introductory rate, keep track of when the two-month period ends and check the renewal terms so the ongoing price doesn’t catch you by surprise.

To judge the perk’s value, start with the price you’ll pay for the food, not just the delivery fee. The $20 discounts have a short availability window, and the ongoing benefit applies only to qualifying orders. A quick check of the final total can show whether the convenience is worth the added cost for that meal.
