Amazon has expanded its Prime benefits to include free restaurant food delivery by integrating Grubhub into Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app.
Prime members, who pay $139 annually for the subscription, will now enjoy zero delivery fees on orders over $12.
Previously, Amazon Prime members were offered a free one-year subscription to Grubhub Plus, which auto-renewed at $129 per year. Now, this benefit is permanently included with Prime membership.
Amazon states that the ordering experience on its platform is similar to that of Grubhub’s website and app, making it accessible to all customers, even those without Prime.
In addition to free delivery, Prime members can also avail themselves of other Grubhub+ perks, such as reduced service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive offers.
A special promotion is also available — Prime members can get $5 off their Grubhub meal order of $25 or more using the code “PRIME5” through June 2.
Jamil Ghani, Vice President of Amazon Prime, highlighted the value of this new benefit, noting that Prime members can save greatly on food delivery alongside other Prime perks, which include Prime Video, Amazon Music, and premium add-ons like RxPass and grocery delivery services from Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh.
Howard Migdal, CEO of Grubhub, is optimistic about the expanded partnership, pointing to the convenience and value it brings to Amazon customers, allowing them to order from Grubhub’s wide network of restaurants directly through Amazon’s platforms.
Prime members can activate this ongoing Grubhub+ offer by visiting the website. Since the inception of the Grubhub+ benefit in 2022, Prime members have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in waived subscription fees and discounts, with those placing at least one order a month saving an average of $300 annually on delivery fees and promotions.
Beyond the new food delivery perks, Amazon Prime continues to offer a wide range of benefits. Members enjoy free shipping on more than 300 million items, including Same-Day and One-Day Delivery on tens of millions of popular products.
Prime members also gain access to exclusive shopping events such as Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days. The Prime Video service provides lots of movie collections, series, and live sports, including content produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
In addition to entertainment, Amazon Music offers ad-free listening to over 100 million songs and millions of podcast episodes. For healthcare needs, Amazon Pharmacy provides prescription medications as low as $1 per month with free shipping.
Grocery delivery is also a perk, with free two-hour delivery windows on orders over $100 from Amazon Fresh, along with subscription-based delivery options from Whole Foods Market and other local retailers.
Prime Gaming grants members instant access to free games, a free Twitch channel subscription, and more gaming benefits. Prime Reading allows access to over 3,000 books and magazines. Furthermore, Prime members benefit from an ongoing free membership to Grubhub+, which includes $0 delivery fees on eligible orders over $12.
Anyone can join Prime for $14.99 per month or $139 per year. New users can start a free 30-day trial via the website. Discounted memberships are available for young adults, college students, and qualifying government assistance recipients.
