How Do I Activate Free Grubhub+ with Amazon Prime?

Three steps. No tricks.

Step 1: Head to your Amazon Prime account.

Log into Amazon, navigate to “Prime Member Benefits,” and look for the Grubhub offer. Amazon surfaces it under the food and grocery perks section. You can also go directly to amazon.com/grubhub.

Step 2: Click through to link your accounts.

You will be redirected to Grubhub to either log into an existing account or create one. If you already have a Grubhub account, use the same email address you registered with to keep your order history intact.

Step 3: Verify and activate.

Grubhub confirms your Prime membership on the back end. The whole process takes about two minutes. Once confirmed, your Grubhub+ status is active.

From there, the next time you open the Grubhub app you will see the Grubhub+ badge on your account. Free delivery will show automatically on qualifying orders.

What Does Grubhub+ Include for Prime Members?

The Grubhub+ membership you get through Amazon Prime is the same one that normally costs $9.99 a month. Here is what is included:

• $0 delivery fees on eligible orders from participating restaurants, provided your order subtotal clears the $12 minimum before tax, tip, and fees
• Lower service fees compared to a standard Grubhub account
• 5% back on pickup orders as Grubhub credit
• Exclusive member discounts and promotional offers rotated throughout the year
• Grubhub’s Donate the Change program — rounds up your order to support hunger relief efforts

One thing worth noting: not every restaurant on Grubhub participates in Grubhub+. You will see a “Grubhub+” tag on eligible restaurants when you browse. If a restaurant you want is not participating, standard delivery fees apply on that order.

According to Grubhub, active Prime Grubhub+ members save an average of $336 a year on delivery fees. Your actual savings depend on how often you order and which restaurants you use.

Is the Grubhub+ Amazon Prime Benefit Permanent?

Yes, as of 2026 it is a permanent perk. The history here is worth knowing because the deal has evolved:

When Amazon and Grubhub first announced the partnership in 2022, it was structured as a free one-year Grubhub+ membership for Prime members. After the first year, members would roll into a paid Grubhub+ subscription unless they cancelled.

In May 2024, Amazon restructured the offer. Grubhub+ became an ongoing Prime benefit — no expiration date, no automatic rollover into a paid plan. As long as you have Prime, you have Grubhub+.

The current offer terms run through June 30, 2026, with Amazon and Grubhub operating under their ongoing partnership agreement. The benefit has been consistently extended and expanded since 2022. That said, terms can change — always worth confirming the current status directly on your Amazon account, especially if significant time has passed since you first activated.

What Happens to Grubhub+ If My Amazon Prime Lapses?

If your Amazon Prime membership expires or is cancelled, your free Grubhub+ membership terminates immediately. There is no grace period.

A few practical notes on this:

• If you cancel Prime and later reactivate, you will need to re-link your accounts at amazon.com/grubhub to restore your Grubhub+ benefit
• Grubhub+ does not automatically convert to a paid plan when your Prime lapses — it simply turns off
• Existing Grubhub+ members who activated through Amazon will revert to a standard Grubhub account when Prime ends

If you use Grubhub regularly, this is a reason to keep an eye on your Prime renewal date. An accidental lapse means lost delivery savings until you reactivate.

How Does Free Grubhub+ Compare to Paying for It Separately?

Short answer: the product is identical. The only difference is who is billing you.

A standalone Grubhub+ subscription runs $9.99 per month. Through Amazon Prime, it is included in your existing $139 annual Prime membership. You are getting the full Grubhub+ benefit set — same delivery savings, same member offers, same pickup credits — at no incremental cost.

For context, if you order delivery twice a week and each order would otherwise carry a $3-5 delivery fee, you are clearing the cost of Grubhub+ within a couple of weeks. Over a year, Grubhub’s own numbers put average savings at $336 for active members.

If you are already a Prime member and you eat takeout with any regularity, there is no logical reason not to activate this.

Using Grubhub+ the Right Way: A Note from PFF

This is where most guides stop. Here is where PFF adds something they do not.

The delivery savings are real, but Grubhub+ is most valuable when you use it to actually explore your local restaurant scene. Independent restaurants, neighborhood spots, local breweries with food programs — these places are on Grubhub too, and the $0 delivery threshold makes it easier to try somewhere new without the friction of delivery fees pushing you back toward the same three chains you always order from.

That is the PFF angle on this. Use the benefit. But use it to eat somewhere worth eating.
