Amazon Adds $0 Uber Eats Delivery Fee for US Prime Members

Amazon has made Uber Eats a Prime membership benefit in the United States. From 5 November, Prime members can place Uber Eats restaurant orders on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app with a $0 delivery fee on orders of $25 or more, the company said in an About Amazon post.

No separate Uber Eats account is required to start. Members search “Uber Eats” on Amazon, browse restaurants and check out with their existing Amazon credentials. The benefit covers all Prime tiers Amazon named, including half-price Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access.

How the benefit is packaged

Amazon said Uber Eats’ restaurant selection runs to hundreds of thousands of locations nationwide and reaches nearly every US household, spanning major metros and “nearly ten thousand” further cities and towns. A joint Amazon/Uber announcement on Business Wire matches the same launch framing.

To seed usage, Prime members can take $20 off each of their first two Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more. Prime Visa cardholders earn 5% back on Uber Eats orders through 5 December 2026, with an eligible Prime membership required, Amazon said.

Jamil Ghani, worldwide vice president of Amazon Prime, said the Uber Eats benefit fits Prime’s pitch of free fast delivery, savings and entertainment “all in a single membership.” Andrew Macdonald, Uber’s president and chief operating officer, said the companies built an experience meant to make restaurant delivery feel as natural on Amazon as elsewhere on Uber Eats, and that Uber wants to connect restaurants with new Prime customers.

Where this sits in Amazon’s membership machine

Prime already bundles logistics, video and periodic sale events such as Prime Big Deal Days. Folding restaurant delivery into the same login is a way to raise daily opens of the Amazon app without asking members to install another consumer super-app. It also lands in a week when TSN has been tracking Amazon’s broader economics through AWS-heavy quarterly results and the wider agent-shopping fight sparked when Musk floated an Amazon competitor after Grok Bot shopping reports.

The $175-a-year savings line is Amazon’s own “potentially saving” estimate tied to Prime-exclusive offers on Amazon, not an independent audit of a typical basket. TSN is not repeating press claims about a Grubhub partnership ending or about which service fees still apply, because those points were not in the About Amazon primary used here.

A delivery fee that lives inside the Amazon login

Operationally, the offer is narrow: restaurant orders, $25 minimum, delivery fee waived when the order is placed on Amazon, not necessarily every fee line on a receipt. Amazon’s own copy pushes members to search “Uber Eats” inside Amazon rather than open Uber’s app first, which is the distribution prize. Named national chains in the About Amazon article — Wingstop, Chipotle, Sweetgreen and local examples — are marketing colour for assortment, not a claim that every restaurant on Uber Eats is discounted.

Membership bundling beats another food app download

The strategic read is prosaic and important: Amazon is not asking Prime members to become Uber power users first. It is routing restaurant demand through an identity and payment stack members already trust, then paying Uber for fulfilment. That lowers activation friction and lets Amazon meter a food benefit the way it meters shipping — as something that defends the annual fee. In a market where food-delivery apps fight over the same dinner window, owning the membership relationship can matter more than owning the courier network.

For UK readers there is no equivalent offer in the sources TSN used; the launch is US-only. That absence is itself a product fact: Prime’s food add-ons still fragment by country even when the parent brand is global. Watch next whether Amazon extends the SKU beyond restaurants into grocery-style deliveries on the same rails, whether Uber publishes merchant opt-in rates in smaller US towns, and whether the intro $20 credit converts into habitual Amazon-routed orders after the first fortnight. Until those data appear, the confirmed change is simply that US Prime now includes $0 Uber Eats delivery fees on qualifying Amazon-placed restaurant orders — a membership defence move dressed as a dinner perk.
