Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get free Deliveroo Plus Silver status if you have Amazon Prime

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

If you have the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card, you will be benefitting from 2 x £5 monthly credits towards Deliveroo orders. This is worth £120 per year if used in full.

If you are using Deliveroo, whether or not you have Preferred Rewards Gold, you should know that it partners with Amazon Prime for a special offer.

Whilst this offer was well publicised when it launched I’ve not seen it mentioned for a while. It does still work – see the Amazon website here.

Deliveroo Plus Silver status for free with Amazon Prime

Via this link, Amazon Prime members receive 12 months of free membership to Deliveroo Plus Silver. Once you are signed up, you will not pay delivery fees on food orders of £15+.

There is a higher limit of £25 for free delivery on grocery deliveries.

Whilst the T&C say that your Deliveroo Plus Silver membership is for 12 months, mine seems to roll over from year to year. We do use Deliveroo once a month or so, however.

This doubles up with the Amex Gold cashback

Added to the £5 cashback you receive per order (up to two per month) from the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card and it makes Deliveroo more competitive.

Looked at the other way, of course, if you currently pay for Deliveroo Plus Silver but don’t have Amazon Prime, you could treat this as a (£3.49 x 12) £41.88 discount on your first year of Prime. You can sign up for Prime here.

To be clear, this is not a ‘have a free trial and then start paying the full price’ offer. The T&C are clear that you simply lose your status after a year if the partnership is not extended. You don’t suddenly wake up one day to find yourself paying £3.49 per month for Deliveroo Plus Silver.

To quote:

You will not be auto-renewed into a paid Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of the offer unless you are switching to this offer from an existing Deliveroo Plus subscription. In the latter case, you will be switched back to your original Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of the offer.

If you currently pay £7.99 for Deliveroo Plus Gold (free delivery on food orders of £10+ and grocery orders of £15+) you will stop paying if you take up this offer but will drop down to Deliveroo Plus Silver (free delivery on food orders of £15 and grocery order of £25+). You would return to Gold status – and start paying again – after 12 months.

The T&C for the Amazon Prime offer are here if you want to find out more.

    Never used them in the past and will not use then in the future, for all the reasons given upthread.

    • The Original David says:

      You can use the Deliveroo app for store pick-up, to still benefit from the £5 PRG benefit without any risk of illegal immigrants transporting your food anywhere (provided your own immigration status is secure…).

  • gt94sss2 says:

    Not mentioned in the article but of passing interest is that Amazon is the single largest shareholder in Deliveroo
