Get free Deliveroo Plus Silver status – now more valuable – if you have Amazon Prime

If you have the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold 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 Amex Gold, it has teamed up 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 – and as of yesterday it is more attractive.
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+.
Until yesterday, free delivery only kicked in on orders of £25+. This was fine for a family and possibly for a couple, but a bit OTT for a quiet solo night in. £15 is more achievable.
Note that the £25 limit remains for free delivery on grocery deliveries.
It’s not all good news. ‘Service fees’ have gone up slightly, but for anyone who struggled to spend £25 it is a very definite improvement.
This doubles up with the Amex Gold cashback
Added to the £5 cashback you receive per order (up to two per month) from American Express Preferred Rewards Gold and it makes Deliveroo very 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 and grocery orders of £10+) 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). You will return to Gold status – and start paying again – after 12 months or whenever the Amazon Prime deal ends, whichever is later.
