Amazon Prime members can now order dinner from Uber Eats without leaving the Amazon Shopping app. The new partnership removes delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders, but there are a couple of conditions you should understand before assuming your next takeout order will cost less.
The biggest catch is the $25 minimum. You also need to place your order through Amazon.com or the Amazon Shopping app to receive the Prime benefit, so opening the regular Uber Eats app and expecting the same deal is not going to cut it.
Launching today in the United States, the partnership brings hundreds of thousands of restaurants to Amazon across nearly 10,000 cities and towns. Amazon names chains such as Wingstop, Chipotle, and Sweetgreen alongside regional restaurants and smaller local businesses, although your actual selection will depend on where you live.
Getting started should be fairly straightforward. Members can visit Uber Eats on Amazon or search for “Uber Eats” in the Amazon Shopping app, then browse nearby restaurants and pay using their existing Amazon payment methods.
There is no separate Uber account to create and no additional app to install. Amazon will provide email and push notifications about delivery status, while Uber Eats will send a final order confirmation.
That convenience is probably the most interesting part of the announcement. Amazon already has your address, payment information, and attention, and now it has another reason for you to open its app when you need something.
However, a waived delivery fee does not mean the checkout total will match the price of your food. Amazon confirmed to GeekWire that service fees still apply, and the partnership replaces its previous Grubhub agreement. That makes this a change in restaurant delivery partners rather than simply another benefit stacked on top of the old one.
For anyone ordering a smaller meal, that $25 requirement deserves attention. Adding food you did not originally want just to remove a delivery fee can turn a supposed saving into a more expensive dinner. Check the final total, including any applicable taxes and your chosen tip, before deciding how good the deal actually is.
Amazon is also promoting an introductory offer described as “$20 off the first two” Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more, available during the first 14 days. Members should review the offer displayed in their Amazon account for the precise discount, eligibility requirements, and expiration before ordering.
There is a separate promotion for Prime Visa cardmembers, who can earn 5 percent back on Uber Eats orders through December 5, 2026. As with the delivery benefit, shoppers should check the applicable terms rather than assume every way of ordering qualifies.
Amazon says the combination of waived delivery fees and exclusive promotions could save members more than $175 annually. That is an estimate, though, and its comparison is against orders placed directly through Uber Eats without an Uber One membership.
The calculation uses annualized August 2026 ordering data, and Amazon explicitly says savings are not guaranteed. Someone who orders regularly may get useful value here, while someone who rarely orders restaurant delivery should not treat that figure as money already recovered from their membership fee.
The benefit includes members subscribed through Prime for Young Adults and Prime Access. Amazon also says the waived delivery fees can be shared with one adult in the household through Amazon Family.
If you are interested, you can sign up for Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually, with a 30-day trial available to eligible customers. Whether that makes sense depends on how much of the overall membership you will actually use.
For existing Prime members who already order meals costing at least $25, this is worth checking before their next delivery. Just remember that removing one fee does not automatically make dinner a bargain, even when Amazon is the one taking your order.
