Terms and conditions

This offer is limited to Prime members based in the U.S., one per customer and Prime account, applicable for unlimited $0 delivery fees on all orders over $12, before tax, tip and other fees.

Additionally, members receive access to other perks, including free food and other discounts on orders.

Prime Student members who have already redeemed the Grubhub+ Student offer will continue to receive this until Dec. 31, after which they’re eligible to redeem the Grubhub+ Prime offer for an additional year.

College students can get a free six-month trial of Prime, followed by a discounted rate of $7.49 per month for a monthly membership or $69 per year for an annual membership.

Existing Grubhub+ subscribers can connect their accounts during the setup process.

Grubhub Campus, Corporate and other existing partnership members are not eligible for this offer.

Grubhub+ users can also round up their orders to the nearest dollar to donate to more than 20 charitable organizations, which Grubhub will match through its Donate the Change program. For example, Grubhub will round up an order totaling $9.50 to $10, donating that extra 50 cents to charity.

Note that your trial Grubhub+ membership will automatically renew for $9.99 a month after the initial 12-month free period until canceled, so be sure to make note of the trial end date if you want to cancel.

Users can cancel their Grubhub+ membership at any time by contacting Grubhub customer support or visiting the Grubhub+ membership section in your Grubhub account settings.
