Amazon Partners with Uber Eats to Offer Free Restaurant Delivery to Prime Members
WHY IT MATTERS
The partnership gives Prime members free delivery on takeout orders, likely increasing Amazon’s platform stickiness while expanding Uber Eats’ user reach in a consolidating market.
What happened
Amazon has announced a partnership with Uber Eats that will make the food‑delivery service the official restaurant partner for Prime subscribers across the United States. Under the deal, Prime members can order from any Uber Eats restaurant through Amazon’s app or website and receive $0 delivery fees on orders of $25 or more.
The arrangement eliminates the need for users to create a separate Uber account or use the Uber Eats app. The move comes as Uber’s competitive environment shifts after the merger of DoorDash and Instacart, giving Uber Eats a new channel to reach a large, existing customer base.
Amazon’s integration of restaurant delivery into its ecosystem is expected to boost Prime engagement and provide Uber Eats with a broader audience.
