Briefings
Amazon and Uber announced a partnership in November 2026 to make Uber Eats the official delivery partner for Prime subscribers in the US. Under this deal, Prime members receive $0 delivery fees on orders of $25 or more, allowing them to order takeout directly through Amazon's app or website without needing an Uber account. This move occurs as Uber faces a competitive landscape reshaped by the merger of DoorDash and Instacart.
