Amazon is getting its grub on permanently.
Extending a food delivery perk that was originally good for a year, Amazon and Grubhub announced Wednesday that Prime members in the U.S. can access a free Grubhub+ membership on an ongoing basis.
The deal is worth $120 a year, and Grubhub+ includes no added delivery fees on eligible orders over $12, 5% credit back on pick-up orders and more.
Prime members can also now order directly from Grubhub on Amazon.com and in the Amazon shopping app, in an experience that is identical to the one on Grubhub’s website and app.
The partnership was first announced in July 2022 as a one-year trial for Prime members that would convert to a paid Grubhub+ membership. But Prime members, who pay $139 per year, will now maintain the free Grubhub+ access as long as they remain with Prime.
Grubhub competes against DoorDash, Uber Eats and others in restaurant food delivery — a space that Amazon vacated in 2019 when it shut down Amazon Restaurants.
Just Eat Takeaway (JET) acquired Grubhub in a deal first announced in 2020, when the food delivery business was peaking during the height of the pandemic.
