Amazon and Uber Launch Fee-Free Delivery for Prime Members on Eligible Restaurant Orders
Key Facts
Amazon and Uber announced a partnership on Nov. 5, 2026, allowing Prime members in the United States to order restaurant delivery through Amazon.com and the Amazon Shopping app, with Uber Eats handling delivery. The new benefit gives members a $0 delivery fee on eligible orders of $25 or more. The announcement creates a new channel linking Prime’s membership base with the Uber Eats restaurant network, while Uber gains orders originating on Amazon platforms. At launch, the service is limited to restaurants, according to the Uber Eats help page. The companies said coverage extends to nearly 10,000 cities and towns, with hundreds of thousands of restaurants available through the delivery network.
Fee-free delivery does not mean an order is exempt from all costs; service fees, taxes and tips may still apply. The basic offer requires an order of at least $25, as Uber Eats explained on its partnership FAQ page. At launch, the companies offered a $20 discount on each of the first two eligible orders, provided the orders were placed within the first 14 days. Prime Visa cardholders also receive 5% cash back on Uber Eats orders through Dec. 5, 2026. These terms define the offer’s scope, from the order value to the discount period and cash-back deadline.
The partnership followed the end of Amazon’s commercial agreement with Grubhub on Nov. 5, according to TechCrunch, ending the previous restaurant-delivery arrangement tied to Prime members. Amazon said its Grubhub offer for Prime members would end as the Uber Eats partnership began. Members who had already activated Grubhub+ can continue using it through Dec. 31, 2027, according to the report. Grocery and retail orders remain outside the initial scope of Uber Eats through Amazon. The transition in the restaurant-delivery benefit therefore begins while previously activated memberships remain available for a limited period.
The announcement quickly weighed on DoorDash shares, which fell about 13.9% in morning trading on Nov. 5 to $170.91, according to Investing.com. The stock had closed at $179.92 that day, then ended the Nov. 11 session at $178.26, according to EL7 data. Those closes do not substantiate a claim of a 10% weekly decline, nor do they alone measure that performance. In the Nov. 11 session, Uber shares closed at $70.68 and Amazon shares at $266.17. These moves place DoorDash’s initial response in chronological context, from the morning decline on announcement day to the closes recorded later.
DoorDash’s third-quarter 2026 data showed growth in activity a week before the partnership announcement: total orders rose 28% year over year to 993 million, while revenue increased 34% to $4.6 billion. The company also said growth in U.S. restaurant-category Marketplace GOV accelerated slightly compared with the second quarter. On a quarterly basis, growth in that category’s Marketplace GOV in the third quarter was the fastest for any third quarter since the third quarter of 2020. In areas where its restaurant-reservations service was available, bookings through DoorDash’s U.S. Marketplace increased more than 340% compared with the second quarter. These indicators provide context on the company’s business growth as competition for restaurant orders intensifies.
On market share, the AP reported that DoorDash’s share of U.S. delivery-platform spending rose from 44% to 59% over five years, while Uber Eats’ share remained just below 20%. The comparison places the partnership within broader competition for delivery-service users’ spending, but does not describe either company’s share in the third quarter alone. In its outlook for the following period, Uber forecast gross bookings of between $63.25 billion and $65.25 billion in the fourth quarter of 2026. The range implies year-over-year growth of between 18% and 22% on a constant-currency basis, according to the company’s earnings release. The forecast follows the partnership announcement and forms part of the results framework Uber set out for the coming period.
