Amazon, Uber Eats Offer Prime Members $0 Delivery Fee on Restaurant Orders
Amazon and Uber Eats launched a partnership giving Prime members $0 delivery on restaurant orders of $25 or more through Amazon, potentially saving more than $175 a year.
Amazon (AMZN) and Uber (UBER) announced a partnership on Wednesday, November 5, that lets U.S. Prime members order restaurant delivery from Uber Eats directly through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app, with a $0 delivery fee on orders of $25 or more.
The benefit needs no new app, Uber account, or credentials: Prime members log in with existing Amazon credentials and pay with existing Amazon payment methods. Amazon sends email and push notifications with delivery status, and Uber Eats follows up with a final order confirmation.
Prime members across nearly ten thousand cities and towns coast to coast get access to hundreds of thousands of restaurants on the Uber Eats network, from national chains such as Wingstop, Chipotle and Sweetgreen to regional and small-business restaurants. Amazon estimates the perks, including Prime-exclusive offers available only on Amazon, could save members more than $175 per year, which it says is more than the cost of an annual Prime membership.
Members can get $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more during the first 14 days, and Prime Visa cardmembers earn 5% back on all Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026. The benefit also extends to Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access members, and members can share waived delivery fees with one adult in their household through Amazon Family.
Andrew Macdonald, President and COO of Uber, said the companies built an experience for Prime members designed to make restaurant delivery feel as natural, convenient and affordable as ordering anything else on Uber Eats.
Jamil Ghani, Worldwide Vice President of Amazon Prime, said the new benefit makes getting dinner delivered even easier, whether it is game night, family night or date night.
In delayed trading, Amazon shares fell about 2.2% and Uber shares fell about 1.6%.
The deal pairs Amazon's 300 million items across 35 categories and its Prime membership base with one of the largest restaurant delivery networks in the United States, at a time when Amazon already offers Same-Day Delivery on perishable grocery orders over $25 from Amazon Grocery. Amazon also noted that Prime members each saved an average of over $650 on delivery fees and fuel, 64 shopping trips and 55 hours of time last year.
