Amazon Prime Adds Uber Eats Access

Amazon announced on Thursday that it has integrated Uber Eats into its Prime membership services in the United States. The change takes effect immediately. Prime members can now order from hundreds of thousands of restaurants directly through Amazon.com or its shopping app.

The companies stated in a joint release that delivery fees are waived for orders exceeding $25. For the first 14 days, new users of this feature will receive a $20 discount on their first two qualifying orders. This promotion requires a minimum order value of $25.

Amazon previously partnered with Grubhub for its Prime members in 2024. That arrangement ends when the Uber Eats deal begins. Prime subscribers pay $14.99 per month or $139 per year for the service. The new partnership adds another food delivery option to their existing benefits.

Andrew Macdonald, president and chief operating officer of Uber, commented on the integration. He said the two companies built an experience designed to make restaurant delivery feel natural and affordable for Prime members.

The announcement follows news that DoorDash agreed to buy Instacart for $17 billion last month. That deal aims to consolidate grocery delivery in the US and abroad. The companies said the merger combines DoorDash logistics with Instacart technology and supermarket relationships.

Walmart also entered the restaurant delivery market last summer. It started with Subway locations inside its stores. The retailer has since added selected Dunkin and Papa Johns locations. Walmart now lists 2,400 restaurant locations on its delivery platform. Greg Cathey, senior vice president of e-commerce transformation at Walmart, noted that 65% of delivery orders include other Walmart items.

Amazon and Uber Eats will begin processing these orders this week. No further regulatory steps were mentioned in the release.
