Amazon said Thursday that Uber Eats is the official restaurant delivery partner for Prime members in the United States, and that members can place Uber Eats orders through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app without a separate Uber account1,2,3.

Prime members will not pay a delivery fee on Uber Eats orders of more than $25 placed through Amazon, according to TechCrunch and Engadget1,2. Engadget said Amazon's release put possible savings as high as $175 a year, depending on use, and that nearly 10,000 U.S. cities and towns would support the integration2. The Verge said that estimate assumes frequent orders and that other charges still apply3.

The commercial agreement that gave Prime members Grubhub+ ends Thursday, an Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch, which reported the company said it continuously evaluates third-party offers and saw a chance for a better restaurant delivery experience1. Grubhub could not be reached before TechCrunch published1.

Amazon first bundled a free year of Grubhub+ with Prime in 2022 and later made the membership an ongoing U.S. Prime benefit, Engadget and TechCrunch reported1,2. TechCrunch said Amazon also had a performance-based warrant deal tied to a larger stake in Grubhub under then-owner Just Eat Takeaway.com before that company announced plans to sell Grubhub to Wonder; the Prime-Grubhub commercial partnership continued until now1.

Amazon and Uber already work together on cloud computing, Zoox robotaxis and Uber Eats inside Amazon's Alexa+ assistant, TechCrunch reported1. To launch the Prime integration, the companies are offering Prime members $20 off a first order of $25 or more during the first two weeks1.

The Verge said Prime members can pay with existing Amazon methods, with Amazon handling ordering and delivery alerts and Uber Eats sending the final receipt3. It framed the announcement as Amazon returning to restaurant delivery after shutting down Amazon Restaurants, and said Uber is pairing with Amazon as DoorDash and Instacart combine3. What Grubhub will offer Prime members after Thursday was not described in the reporting1,3.
