The short answer
GRUBHUB PLUS is Grubhub's $9.99-a-month membership from Grubhub Inc. Members get unlimited $0 delivery fees on eligible orders above the restaurant's minimum, lower service fees, and member-only deals. It often arrives free for a year through Amazon Prime, then renews monthly until you cancel in your Grubhub account.
Why it shows up like this
A charge reading GRUBHUB PLUS is the fee for Grubhub+, the membership that removes delivery fees rather than covering the food itself. At $9.99 a month it gives unlimited $0 delivery on eligible orders that clear the restaurant's minimum, along with lower service fees and access to member-only deals. Grubhub Inc. bills it on a recurring cycle, distinct from the totals you pay on each individual order.
A large share of Grubhub+ accounts never started on Grubhub at all. Amazon includes a free year of Grubhub+ as a Prime benefit, and many members activate it, forget it, and only notice when the complimentary year ends and Grubhub Inc. begins charging $9.99 a month directly. On statements the entry can read GRUBHUB PLUS, GRUBHUB+ MEMBERSHIP, or a GH*GRUBHUB PLUS variant, none of which name the restaurant you last ordered from.
The confusion tends to build in two ways. First, the Prime-linked free year auto-renews into a paid plan unless you opt out before it expires, so the first charge feels like it came from nowhere. Second, because delivery orders and the membership both carry Grubhub branding, a paid month can hide among ordinary order charges. Anyone who joined during a promotional rate also sees an unfamiliar amount once the standard $9.99 price takes over. Comparing the charge date with the anniversary of your Prime signup usually pinpoints where a lapsed free year turned into a paid membership.
Don’t recognize it? You might still
- A free year of Grubhub+ activated through Amazon Prime ended and began renewing at $9.99.
- A promotional or trial month of Grubhub+ converted to the standard $9.99 rate.
- A campus or partner offer for Grubhub+ expired and the plan moved to full price.
- Someone in the household enabled Grubhub+ on a shared account and card.
- You claimed Grubhub+ through a Lyft Pink, Bank of America, or other partner offer, and it renewed once the free window closed.
What to do, in order
- Open Grubhub+ membership settings Sign in to your Grubhub account, on the web or in the app, and open the Grubhub+ membership area to see your renewal date and price.
- Confirm where the plan came from Check whether the membership came from Amazon Prime or directly from Grubhub; a Prime-linked plan is managed differently from one you bought on Grubhub itself.
- Cancel the membership to stop billing In the Grubhub+ membership area choose Cancel membership and confirm; if the plan came through Amazon Prime, cancel it from your Amazon account instead.
Quick questions
How do I cancel Grubhub+?
Sign in to Grubhub, open your account, go to the Grubhub+ membership section, and select Cancel membership. If you activated Grubhub+ through Amazon Prime, cancel it from your Amazon account settings instead. Deleting the Grubhub app does not cancel the plan; the membership has to be ended in your account.
Why am I being charged after my free Grubhub+ year with Prime?
The Prime-linked free year is a trial. When it ends, Grubhub+ renews at $9.99 a month unless you turned off renewal beforehand. Cancelling stops any future charges going forward. Grubhub keeps the benefits running through the paid month, so the current cycle itself is not refunded.
