Got Prime? Are you missing free Deliveroo Plus worth £42?

If you pay for Amazon Prime, there's a decent chance you're paying delivery fees on Deliveroo that you don't need to pay at all. Buried in your Prime membership is a full year of Deliveroo Plus, the delivery subscription that wipes out delivery charges on qualifying orders, and a lot of people who are entitled to it have simply never switched it on. It costs nothing beyond the Prime you're already paying for, and claiming it takes a couple of minutes.

This post explains what the free Deliveroo Plus Amazon Prime offer actually gives you, how to claim it, what the catches are, and whether it's worth bothering with once you look past the word "free". Prices and terms here were checked on the 3rd of August, and because Deliveroo has changed the details more than once, it's worth knowing what the current position really is rather than what older articles still say.

What is the free Deliveroo Plus Amazon Prime offer, and what do you get?

The free Deliveroo Plus Amazon Prime offer gives every UK and Ireland Prime member 12 months of Deliveroo Plus Silver at no extra cost, which normally runs at £3.49 a month, so about £42 over a year. Deliveroo Plus is Deliveroo's subscription plan, and its core benefit is simple: once your order meets a minimum spend, you pay no delivery fee. Instead of paying a separate monthly subscription, you get the Silver tier folded into the Prime you already have.

Deliveroo runs its Plus subscription in tiers, and the one you get free through Prime is the entry-level Silver plan. That matters because the tier sets your minimum spend, and Silver's thresholds are higher than the pricier Gold plan's. With Silver, you get free delivery on restaurant orders over £15 and on grocery orders over £25, whereas Gold lowers those thresholds for a monthly fee. As a free perk, Silver covers the everyday case most people care about: a normal-sized takeaway or a weekly grocery top-up.

There's one limit worth stating plainly, because "free delivery" gets used loosely. Free delivery removes the delivery charge, but it doesn't remove Deliveroo's service fee or any small-order fee, which still apply on top. So an order still costs you the service fee and any small-order fee, with the delivery charge taken off the top. That's still a real saving on every qualifying order, but you'll want to picture it as a discount rather than a giveaway.

How do you claim free Deliveroo Plus with Amazon Prime?

You claim it by linking your Deliveroo and Amazon accounts on Deliveroo's dedicated Amazon Prime page, then confirming the switch to Plus. Head to the Deliveroo Amazon Prime page, select the option to claim with Amazon Prime, sign into your Deliveroo account when prompted, and confirm that you want to switch to the Plus plan. Once the two accounts are linked and your Prime status is confirmed, the free Silver membership activates.

A few practical points: the free Plus applies to one Deliveroo account only, so pick the account you actually order from. If you're already a paying Plus member, you can switch your existing membership over to the free Prime version rather than paying twice, which is exactly the kind of thing worth checking before your next renewal.

One handy detail: your Amazon and Deliveroo accounts don't need to share an email address, because you enter your Amazon login separately when you link them. You'll need an active Amazon Prime account throughout, and if you don't have Deliveroo yet, you can set up a free Deliveroo account before linking. If you're in Ireland, the offer runs through Prime Ireland instead, with free delivery on restaurant orders over €18 and grocery orders over €30.

The saving applies to every qualifying order across the year rather than as a one-off, and it reaches people who already order regularly and may not know they're covered. If you order a couple of takeaways a month and each delivery fee sits at around £2.50 or more, the fees you avoid across a year add up to more than the £42 headline value of the subscription. The savings stack up depending on how often you order rather than a specific price point saving.

Does the free Deliveroo Plus auto-renew and start charging you?

No, not for most people. When your 12 months are up, Deliveroo switches you off the free Plus rather than rolling you onto a paid plan and charging your card, so there's no automatic renewal into a paid subscription.

There are two things that end the benefit, and both are worth knowing up front. The free Plus is tied to your Prime membership, so if you cancel Prime, the free Deliveroo Plus ends alongside it, and you'd need to reactivate it by verifying Prime again if you rejoin later.

What happens at the end of the 12 months depends on where you started: if you claimed as a standard user, the membership simply ends with no charge, but if you switched in from a paid Deliveroo Plus Gold subscription, you get moved back onto that paid Gold plan when the free year finishes. Neither charges you by surprise, though Gold members should note they'll resume paying.

This perk makes an existing Prime membership even better value, but it isn't a reason to pay for Prime on its own, since Prime costs far more than the Deliveroo saving is worth to most people. If you already pay for Prime for the shopping and streaming, the free Plus is included at no extra cost. If you don't, the free 30-day Prime trial lets you test it without committing.

Is free Deliveroo Plus worth having if you already pay for Prime?

The perk fits Prime members who order from Deliveroo, because it costs nothing on top of Prime and applies from the next qualifying order. The break-even maths is simple: if a single delivery fee is around £2.50 and the membership would otherwise cost £3.49 a month, two orders in a month cover what a paying Silver subscriber spends. Anything beyond that is delivery fees avoided at no extra cost.

There are cases where it delivers little. If you never order from Deliveroo, the subscription sits unused. If you tend to order small, solo meals that don't reach the £15 restaurant threshold, the free delivery doesn't trigger, and adding items to reach the minimum can cancel out the delivery saving. And if you spread your ordering across Just Eat and Uber Eats too, a Deliveroo-only perk covers just part of that spending.

For anyone who orders through Deliveroo even occasionally, linking the accounts activates the free delivery on qualifying orders and leaves your other options open. The free Plus removes the delivery fee on Deliveroo orders that meet the minimum spend, whenever you choose to use it.

How does Deliveroo Plus Silver compare with the paid tiers?

Plan	Monthly cost	Free delivery on restaurant orders	Free delivery on grocery orders
Plus Silver (free with Prime)	£3.49, or free for a year via Prime	Over £15	Over £25
Plus Gold	From £4.99	Over £10	Over £15
Plus Diamond	£11.99, invite only	Lower thresholds plus extras	Lower thresholds plus extras

Prices and thresholds checked on the 3rd of August against Deliveroo's own FAQ and subscription pages. Deliveroo sets these and can change them, so double-check the current terms when you claim.

If you order often and in smaller baskets, Gold's lower thresholds may suit you better, but that's a paid upgrade to consider separately from the free Silver. The free year lets you see how much you use it before deciding whether a higher tier fits your ordering habits.

While you're saving on delivery, it's worth remembering you can stack cashback on top of Deliveroo orders through apps such as JamDoughnut, TopCashback and Quidco, so the delivery saving from Plus and a little cashback on the order itself can work together. Keep an eye on the minimum-spend rules so you're saving on delivery rather than spending more to reach a threshold. Claimed today, the free year trims the cost of every Deliveroo order you make between now and next summer.

Frequently asked questions

Is Deliveroo Plus really free with Amazon Prime?

Yes. Amazon Prime members in the UK and Ireland can claim 12 months of Deliveroo Plus Silver at no extra cost on top of what they already pay for Prime. It gives free delivery on eligible orders once you meet the minimum spend, and the value works out at about £42 over the year.

How do I claim free Deliveroo Plus with my Prime account?

Go to the Deliveroo Amazon Prime page and select the option to claim with Amazon Prime, then sign in and link your Deliveroo and Amazon accounts. Once they are linked, the free Plus Silver membership activates on one Deliveroo account. You need an active Prime membership for it to work.

What is the minimum spend for free delivery on Deliveroo Plus Silver?

On Plus Silver, you get free delivery on restaurant orders over £15 and on grocery orders over £25. Service fees and small-order fees can still apply, so free delivery is not the same as a free order. The thresholds are set by Deliveroo and can change.

Does free Deliveroo Plus auto-renew and start charging me?

No. When the 12-month free period ends, Deliveroo switches you back rather than automatically charging you for a paid Plus plan. Your free Plus also ends if you cancel Amazon Prime, since the perk is tied to an active Prime membership.

Is Deliveroo Plus worth it if I already have Prime?

If you order from Deliveroo even a couple of times a month, activating the free Plus is worth it because it costs you nothing extra and covers your delivery fees. It only stops being worthwhile if you never order, or never reach the minimum spend for free delivery.
