Ahead of its annual Prime Day sales event next week,?Amazon?is offering a new perk for customers through an exclusive deal with Grubhub. Prime members in the US can now sign up for a free one-year membership to Grubhub Plus, the food delivery company?said in a press release Wednesday.?
With a Grubhub Plus membership, you can order from participating restaurants without paying delivery fees, and you get other benefits such as free food and special discounts. The catch? Orders must be at least $12 before taxes and other fees. Existing Grubhub Plus members who have Prime are eligible for the offer, with the exception of 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 agreement, the e-commerce giant is providing free access to the meal delivery service, which is available in over 4,000 cities — and 300,000-plus restaurants — across the country.?
The promotion arrives just ahead of?Prime Day 2022, which takes place from July 12-13.?
