Delivering Deliciousness: Grubhub and Amazon Celebrate One Year of Grubhub+ Becoming Free with Prime Membership

In May of 2024, Amazon and Grubhub took our partnership to the next level and made free membership with Grubhub+ an ongoing offer for Prime members. This month marks one year of this offer – a milestone that underscores the momentum of our partnership and our shared commitment to delivering not only a wide variety of food options, but also exceptional value and convenience to Prime members across the country.
Prime = Savings and Convenience
Prime is an all-in-one membership that offers savings, convenience, and entertainment. Grubhub+ enhances the Prime experience by providing even more convenience and significant savings, including $0 delivery fees on eligible orders and a $120 annual membership value (additional fees, including service fees, and terms apply). Beyond Grubhub+, Prime members can also enjoy fast, free delivery on a vast selection of products, exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day, and extensive streaming options with Prime Video, and much more.
A Recipe for Success
The collaboration between Amazon and Grubhub has proven to be a major success for members.
- Prime members have enthusiastically embraced the Grubhub+ offer: More than 9 out of 10 orders placed on Amazon.com or in the Amazon Shopping app are coming from Prime members returning to the order experience.
- Prime members have redeemed the Grubhub+ offer at an increasing rate, with a year-over-year change in Grubhub+ offer sign-ups of more than 50%.
- Since the start of the Grubhub+ offer in 2022, Prime members have saved over a billion dollars in waived subscription fees. Prime members have used Grubhub+ to save over half a billion dollars in lower service fees, $0 delivery fees, promos, and Grubhub+ credits since then.
- While major metro areas like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles show strong engagement with the benefit, over 60% of orders placed by Prime members who redeemed the Grubhub+ offer are in suburban areas, demonstrating the broad appeal of this partnership.
- Those Prime members who place at least one order each month place an average of at least three orders each month and save $300 per year on average in delivery fees and promotions with Grubhub+.
“This collaboration isn’t just a win for Prime members; it’s also a significant boost for restaurants and delivery partners,” said Howard Migdal, CEO of Grubhub. “By connecting restaurants to millions of Amazon customers, we’re driving growth for their businesses and creating even more earning opportunities for couriers.”
“We’re proud to see that we’re keeping over a billion dollars in the pockets of Prime members,” added Jamil Ghani, Worldwide Vice President of Prime at Amazon. “Prime is all about making everyday life easier, more affordable, and more enjoyable with fast, free delivery on tens of millions of items, extensive entertainment with Prime Video, exclusive deals including Prime Day, and so much more. Thanks to partners like Grubhub, we’re able to add even more savings and convenience to Prime membership by having members’ favorite restaurants delivered right to their doorstep.”
