Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon just announced that Prime members can get a year of Grubhub+ for free.
Grubhub+ usually costs $9.99 a month and gets you free delivery on mobile food orders, plus occasional freebies.
New and existing Prime and Grubhub+ members are eligible for the deal.

Amazon announced last week that new and existing Prime members can claim a year's subscription to Grubhub+ for free as a membership perk.

The announcement comes in the lead up to Amazon's huge deals event, Prime Day, which is an exclusive shopping event for members that will take place on July 12 and 13 this year. Amazon has been promoting the event throughout the month with added Prime benefits and chances to earn shopping credits to spend during Prime Day.

Grubhub is a food delivery app that allows you to order food from local and chain restaurants in your area. While the app is free, you typically pay a delivery fee on each order, ranging from $2.50 to $7.50. Grubhub+ lets you to avoid the delivery fees on your orders for $9.99 per month. With Amazon's new offer, a year of Grubhub+ is now included with a $14.99 per month Prime membership fee — a savings of nearly $120.

How to claim a year of Grubhub+ with Prime

New and existing members can visit Amazon's Grubhub+ page and click the "Activate free Grubhub+" button. You'll be prompted to set up or sign into your Prime account and then rerouted to Grubhub.

Who is eligible?

All Prime members are eligible, including Prime Student members. If you are already a Grubhub+ member, you can still claim the offer. The only exceptions are Grubhub Campus, Corporate, and certain existing partnership members.

What are the benefits of Grubhub+?

Grubhub+ lets you order food from the app with unlimited $0 delivery fees on orders over $12 at eligible restaurants. You can also get free food and occasional member discounts, like $10 off a pickup order every month. We've found that if you order food at least once a week, Grubhub+ is worth it.

What are the other benefits of Amazon Prime?

Aside from a year of Grubhub+, an Amazon Prime membership comes with a number of useful benefits. Chief among them are free shipping on most orders and access to the retailer's huge sales event, Prime Day. This year, Prime Day will be held on July 12 and 13 and feature deep discounts on electronics, homewares, and more. If you're unsure of whether Prime is for you, Amazon offers a free 30 day trial that allows you to take advantage of the benefits before committing.
