THE APEX TIMES
Amazon says it has partnered with Uber Eats to waive delivery charges for Prime members on qualifying orders starting in early November 2026, in another effort to broaden Prime’s value beyond shipping.
Amazon has introduced a new benefit for Prime members tied to restaurant delivery, partnering with Uber Eats to offer $0 delivery fees on orders that meet a minimum spend. The change, described in a report published Nov. 13, 2026, takes effect as of Nov. 5, 2026.
Under the promotion, Prime members receive waived delivery fees on qualifying Uber Eats orders of $25 or more. The announcement frames the perk as a Prime add-on rather than a stand-alone deal, indicating Amazon’s continued push to keep Prime attractive amid competition in subscription retail and digital services.
The report does not provide additional operational details such as how long the program will run, which cities or delivery zones are included, or whether the offer is limited to first-time users or specific restaurant categories. Amazon also did not disclose, in the cited post, how delivery fees are calculated for orders that do not meet the threshold.
Amazon Prime is typically associated with fast and free shipping, but the company has been layering in non-shipping benefits over time, including entertainment and digital services. Adding delivery discounts to the Prime package aligns with a broader strategy: turning Prime into a multi-purpose membership that can reduce shopping friction and increase recurring usage throughout the year.
Uber Eats, for its part, gains a targeted audience of Prime members who may otherwise compare delivery options on price alone. Fee-sensitive consumers are often swayed by delivery charges, especially on mid-size orders, which makes a delivery-fee waiver potentially meaningful for incremental order volume.
From a consumer-outcome perspective, a $25 minimum spend matters because it can shift buying behavior toward slightly larger carts or bundled orders. For Amazon, it may also support customer retention by creating a habit loop that is less dependent on retail promotions and more connected to everyday needs.
What remains unclear is the full cost structure behind the promotion. The cited report focuses on the customer-facing $0 delivery-fee claim but does not describe whether Amazon subsidizes the waived fees, whether Uber Eats absorbs part of the cost, or how any revenue-sharing arrangement might work between the partners.
Going forward, shoppers and analysts will likely look for follow-up disclosures about coverage, eligible order types, and whether the deal expands beyond the initial roll-out. Another key question is whether Amazon will use this partnership as a template for other third-party services inside Prime, or if it stays limited to Uber Eats delivery for now.
