Amazon is entering into a partnership with Uber Eats that gives US Prime members free restaurant deliveries on orders of at least 25 dollars. The service is integrated directly into Amazon’s platform and replaces Grubhub as the delivery partner. This is stated in a press release.
The partnership comes as competition intensifies after Doordash announced plans to acquire Instacart for 17 billion dollars. For Uber, the agreement provides an opportunity to reach more customers, while Amazon is expanding the benefits for its Prime members.
Uber rises 2.6 percent in premarket trading.
