Uber Eats becomes Amazon Prime's official US delivery partner

According to TechCrunch, the commercial agreement that gave Prime members access to Grubhub+ ended Thursday. An Amazon spokesperson said the company continuously evaluates its third-party offers and found an opportunity to deliver a better restaurant delivery experience; a Grubhub spokesperson confirmed the agreement was ending.

Prime members who previously activated Grubhub+ keep that membership through December 31, 2027, but can no longer place orders through Amazon.com or the shopping app. Amazon first partnered with Grubhub in 2022 and later expanded the deal, taking an equity stake that could have reached 18%, before cashing out its exercisable warrants in December 2024.

The tie-up lands as Uber faces a reshaped competitive landscape, with rivals DoorDash and Instacart merging. DoorDash remains the bigger player in restaurant delivery, so Uber is clearly hoping Amazon's tens of millions of Prime shoppers will help pressure its larger rival.

The Verge notes that Amazon is either deliberately teaming with multiple delivery apps or effectively admitting Grubhub has become too small to matter to Prime members. Either way, Uber gains access to a huge base of delivery-happy customers without spending on app store ads to win them.

For now the offer is US-only: neither Amazon nor Uber has announced availability in Tunisia or elsewhere, so there is nothing to sign up for locally. If you are a Prime member in the US, the benefit is already live, with $20 off the first two qualifying orders of $25 or more for the first two weeks.

Even there, the savings are narrower than they look. Service fees, local regulatory charges, driver tips and menu markups still make up the bulk of a typical bill, and the $25 minimum makes the perk awkward for solo diners, who may end up buying extra food just to skip a $3–$4 delivery charge. The advertised $175 a year only holds if you order delivery several times a month.
