Grubhub shopping guide: how to save more

Guide last reviewed: September 2026

How to save at Grubhub: the smartest ways

1. Link Amazon Prime if you have it. Grubhub offers Grubhub+ free to active US Amazon Prime members, which brings $0 delivery fees on eligible orders.
2. Get to the $12 subtotal. Grubhub+ delivery fee savings apply to eligible orders with a subtotal of $12 or more, so add a side or drink rather than paying a fee.
3. Choose pickup when you can. Grubhub+ members get 5% back on eligible pickup orders as Grubhub+ Credit, and pickup avoids delivery fees entirely.
4. Check Perks before choosing a restaurant. Perks are in-app deals and rewards whose value varies by user and location.
5. Refer a friend. Under Grubhub's referral program, both you and a friend can get a discount after the friend's first order.
6. Use your pickup credit before it expires. Grubhub+ pickup credit expires 90 days after the most recent credit is issued.
7. Remember fees and tips still apply to Perks. Grubhub says delivery fees, taxes and gratuity still apply when you use a Perk, so compare totals.
8. Look out for member events. Grubhub has run multi-week Gold Days of Grubhub+ events with extra member deals in past years.

Shipping & delivery

Grubhub offers restaurant delivery and pickup through its website and app. Delivery and service fees depend on the restaurant and order. With Grubhub+, members get $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible delivery orders from Grubhub+ eligible merchants, with a minimum subtotal of $12 before tax, tip and fees. Non-members pay the fees shown at checkout.

Fees and delivery times can change with distance, demand and the restaurant you choose, so compare the checkout total at two or three restaurants before you order. If you are close to a restaurant, pickup is often the cheapest option, and Grubhub+ members earn credit on eligible pickup orders as well.

Refund & order-issue policy

Grubhub has help articles on its site covering wrong orders and refunds, such as What if my Grubhub order is wrong? and How do I get a refund from Grubhub?. Grubhub also has a Grubhub Guarantee page covering price and on-time delivery. We could not confirm the exact terms of these policies as of September 2026, so check the help pages or contact Grubhub from your order if something goes wrong.

Grubhub+ membership and Perks

Grubhub+ is Grubhub's paid membership. Grubhub's own site lists the price at $9.99 per month and describes these benefits:

• $0 delivery fees on eligible orders with a $12+ subtotal
• Lower service fees on eligible orders
• 5% back on eligible pickup orders as Grubhub+ Credit (expires 90 days after the most recent credit is issued, and it cannot be used on orders containing alcohol)
• Exclusive offers at select restaurants and stores

Active US Amazon Prime members can get Grubhub+ at no extra cost by linking their Amazon and Grubhub accounts through Grubhub's Prime offer page. The benefit lasts while your Prime membership is active, and cancelling Prime ends the free Grubhub+ membership. If you already pay for Grubhub+, your paid plan is cancelled when you sign up through Prime.

Perks are a separate in-app feature with deals and rewards. You need a Grubhub account with a valid payment method on file, Perks vary by user and location, and some cannot be combined with other discounts.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

We did not find a student, military, teacher or senior discount on Grubhub's official site as of September 2026. The main savings programs are Grubhub+, Perks and referrals.

If you have Amazon Prime through a discounted plan, it is worth checking whether your account qualifies for the free Grubhub+ offer, because the Grubhub+ benefit follows your active Prime membership in the United States.

Price matching & price adjustments

Grubhub does not publish a traditional price-match policy for diners. Menu prices are set by each restaurant, so the most reliable ways to lower your total are fee savings through Grubhub+, choosing pickup and using Perks.

Payment options

Grubhub gift cards can be used on Grubhub's website and app, never expire, and come as digital cards by email or physical cards sold online and at Target and Safeway, according to the gift card page. Other payment methods can be managed in your account; check at checkout for what is accepted.

When Grubhub has its biggest sales

Grubhub does not follow a fixed sale calendar. Member deals tend to cluster around events such as Gold Days of Grubhub+, which has run for several weeks in spring in recent years, and Perks change often by user and location. Checking the Perks section before you order is the easiest way to catch current deals.

Because Perks vary by user and location, the same dish may be cheaper at a nearby restaurant that has an active offer, so it pays to compare before you order.

How to use a Grubhub promo code

1. Open the Grubhub app or grubhub.com and sign in.
2. Add items from a restaurant to your bag and go to checkout.
3. Find the promo code field in the payment section and enter the code exactly as written.
4. Check that the discount appears in your order summary; some codes need a minimum subtotal.
5. Referral codes and links expire two weeks after delivery, so use them promptly.
