How To Use Grubhub With Amazon Prime

Confirming your prime membership to use grubhub

To use Grubhub with Amazon Prime, you first need an active paid membership, so take a moment to confirm what you are actually paying for. If you are unsure whether you have a paid membership, you can check your account settings to check your Amazon Prime membership. The status is listed under your account details. Some users see charges for individual services and wonder about Prime Video charges with Amazon Prime. The answer is usually no, because video is included with a full Prime membership. You may be paying for a separate standalone subscription if you canceled Prime but kept video. If you are considering the value of the whole bundle, it helps to read a complete review of its cost and subscription plans. This way you understand exactly what each tier includes. Special pricing options exist for certain groups. For example, the discounted rate for Amazon prime for aarp members is available to qualifying households. Similarly, if you receive SNAP benefits, you can get Amazon prime with EBT at a reduced monthly rate. Once you have verified that your Prime account is active and you understand the billing, you can proceed to the separate activation step for Grubhub+. It will not appear automatically. Free drop-offs only apply above a $12 subtotal minimum on eligible orders.

Activating your grubhub+ benefit

To start using your benefit, visit amazon.com/grubhub or amazon.com/grubhub+. Follow the prompts to link your Amazon Prime account to Grubhub. This is where you will enter your Amazon Prime credentials. The linking process is not automatic. You must visit amazon.com/grubhub to activate the benefit even if you are already logged into Amazon on the same browser. Once your accounts are connected, your Grubhub+ status will activate. But the free drop-off is not unlimited. You need to check the minimum order amount for free grubhub delivery with prime in your area. That threshold is a $12 subtotal minimum on eligible orders. A common mistake is assuming the waiver applies to any order. It only kicks in once your subtotal hits the $12 minimum. Meanwhile, your regular Amazon Prime delivery times are a separate service entirely. Those faster shipping windows for household goods have nothing to do with how quickly Grubhub will bring your takeout. The Grubhub fee waiver applies only to eligible orders that meet the subtotal requirement. It does not cover service fees, taxes, or tips. Keep an eye on your order summary before checkout to confirm the fee has been removed. This pairing is the only one that bundles a restaurant courier membership with a retail shipping subscription at no added cost.

Streaming movies and shows

After you have linked your Grubhub and Amazon accounts, you can explore the full library of what is on Amazon prime video by browsing categories like "Prime," "Rent or Buy," and "Live TV" to find the shows and movies that matter most to you. To keep track of everything you want to watch, add titles to your personal watchlist on Amazon prime by tapping the "+" icon on any show or movie page, which makes it easy to save favorites for later. This list is accessible from the main menu. It will notify you when a title becomes available. Be aware that movies you rent have specific deadlines. Amazon Prime rental lengths typically give you 30 days to start watching, so you have plenty of time to plan your viewing. You then have 48 hours to finish once you press play. If you want more content, you can subscribe to channels like discovery plus on Amazon prime directly through the Prime Video interface to add documentaries and reality shows to your lineup. This adds a monthly charge to your Amazon bill. Similarly, if you are wondering how to get free Hulu with Amazon prime, check the current available Prime membership benefits, as streaming perks alongside your Grubhub benefits require separate sign-up processes and may vary over time. It requires an active Prime subscription and is a separate sign-up process just like linking your Grubhub account. It does not appear automatically. The music service works the same way. You can stream a large ad-supported catalog at no extra cost. A paid upgrade is required to access offline downloads and a wider selection.

Watching on your TV or recording shows

To watch Prime Video on a larger screen, you can log into Amazon prime on TV using the device's built-in app or a streaming stick. Once you are signed in, the full Prime Video library becomes available on your television. If you want to save a movie or episode for a trip or a spot with weak Wi-Fi, you can record Amazon prime video to your phone or tablet by tapping the download button on the show's detail page. This stores the content locally so you can watch it without an internet connection.

Keep in mind that the Grubhub+ benefit you receive through Prime requires you to visit amazon.com/grubhub and link your Amazon and Grubhub accounts. It does not activate automatically. After you link your accounts, the free perk only applies when your food order meets the minimum subtotal. That minimum is typically $12. So while you are settling in to watch a recorded show on the TV, you can place a Grubhub order that qualifies for the savings. But this only works if you have already done that separate activation step.

Amazon Prime members can claim a free, ongoing Grubhub+ membership.

Listening to music and reading books

Once your Grubhub+ membership is active through your Prime account, you can also take advantage of the entertainment benefits that come with your Amazon subscription. To listen to music, you will need to decide between the ad-supported tier included with Prime and the full catalog. This is where you may need to pay for Amazon music to get offline downloads and a wider selection. If you see a charge on your statement, the reason is explained in how Amazon Music charges with Prime. The free tier only offers a limited playlist shuffle. The full on-demand access to specific songs and higher-quality audio requires a separate upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited. For reading, you can borrow a book on Amazon Prime through the Prime Reading catalog. It lets you check out one title at a time from a rotating selection of thousands of books, magazines, and comics. Simply open the Kindle app or Amazon website. Find a book with the Prime Reading badge and tap "Read for Free." No due dates apply. You can keep the book as long as you remain a Prime member. Just remember that your Grubhub+ order credit and these media perks are separate benefits. Activating one does not automatically activate the others. The free drop-off minimum still applies to your food orders. Only Amazon Prime directly bundles a restaurant membership with a rotating library of free books and a base music catalog.

Shopping deals and gaming perks

Prime Day events are a great time to stack savings on food orders, but timing matters. Keep an eye on the full Amazon Prime Day duration so you can plan orders around the biggest restaurant discounts. Those often appear early in the event. During those days, Grubhub+ members may see exclusive promo codes for extra dollars off or bonus rewards that stack with your free drop-off benefit. Just remember that the linked membership only applies the $0 delivery fee after your subtotal hits the $12 minimum. Check that number in your market before you add items to your cart.

Beyond food, your Prime membership also opens a rotating library of PC titles. You can download prime games directly from the Prime Gaming portal. Many of those games include in-game loot or currency that can be used in titles you already own. The selection changes monthly, so it pays to claim them even if you are not ready to play immediately. Once claimed, they are yours to keep. The best Amazon prime days for gaming are usually the ones that coincide with a new bundle drop. That often happens mid-week. This means you might log in for a dinner discount and walk away with a free copy of an indie hit or a premium expansion pack.

This is the only membership pairing that permanently waives the restaurant courier fee on eligible Grubhub orders while also letting you claim free PC games each month.
