Ahead of next week’s annual Prime Day sales event, Amazon is offering a new benefit to its customers through an exclusive deal with Grubhub. Prime members in the US can now sign up for a free one-year membership of Grubhub Plus, the grocery delivery company said in a press release Wednesday.
With a Grubhub Plus membership, you can order from participating restaurants without paying delivery fees and get other benefits like free food and special discounts. The catch? Orders must be at least $12 before taxes and other fees. Existing Grubhub Plus members with Prime are eligible for the offer, except for those with Grubhub Campus or Corporate. The current monthly cost for a Grubhub Plus subscription is $10.
On Wednesday, Amazon acquired a 2% stake in Grubhub’s parent company, Just Eat Takeway.com. As part of the deal, the e-commerce giant is offering free access to its meal delivery service, which is available in over 4,000 cities — and more than 300,000 restaurants — across the country.
The promotion comes just before Prime Day 2022, which takes place on July 12-13.
