What’s Cooking?
Amazon and DoorDash have teamed up to serve up a platter of delightful new benefits for Prime members in Australia. So, if you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard of Prime yet, let me enlighten you. For just AU$9.99 a month (or a jaw-dropping AU$79 annually — that’s the price of a cheap bottle of red, folks), you will bask in a lifestyle filled with free and fast delivery on Amazon orders, exclusive deal events, and a buffet of entertainment from Prime Video.
If you think you’ve had your fill of all this goodness, hold onto your forks because there’s more on the menu! Starting today, that same membership will now slap you with two years of DashPass for free! This AU$239 value means no more pesky delivery fees on eligible DoorDash orders and a delightful 5% back in DoorDash credit for those odd moments when you decide to pick up food instead. Because who needs to diet when you have McDonald’s just a few taps away?
Eat, Shop & Be Merry!
Now, let’s talk about where this DashPass will bring you: think of endless choices! With the likes of McDonald’s, Guzman y Gomez, and even your local Coles at your service, you’ll never have to leave your couch—unless, of course, you want to actually experience sunlight. But who would want that when you have the rich tapestry of Prime Video at your fingertips? I mean, between binge-watching “The Office” and wondering why the bacon isn’t delivering itself, who really has time to step into the outside world?
From Amazon with Love
As Arno Lenior, APAC Director of Prime at Amazon Australia said, “At the very heart of Prime is savings and convenience.” Yes, folks, nothing clouds one’s mind like deciding between ordering Indian or Chinese food at 2 a.m. This partnership just transformed your existential crisis into a 24-month feast!
The Cherry on Top
But wait! There’s more! With Prime, you not only score savings on delivery fees, like a true champion, you gain access to megastars such as “The Rings of Power” and other exclusive Prime Video content. If your friends challenge you to watch all seasons of “The Boys” before the next season drops, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
How to Get in on the Deal

Starting today, new and existing Prime members in Australia can enjoy a complimentary two-year DashPass membership, providing access to AU$0 delivery fees on qualifying DoorDash orders.
New offer comes in addition to all existing Prime member benefits like free and fast delivery, exclusive deal events, Prime Video, and an array of other attractive incentives.
THURSDAY 14 NOVEMBER, 2024 – Amazon Australia and DoorDash have proudly unveiled a groundbreaking exclusive offer designed for Prime members throughout Australia. Effective immediately, both new and existing Prime members can enjoy a generous 24 months of complimentary DashPass, which has a market value of AU$239. This substantial offering not only includes unlimited AU$0 delivery fees on qualifying DoorDash orders but also enables members to earn 5% back in DoorDash credit on eligible Pickup transactions, alongside exclusive promotions and deals that are only available to DashPass users. This latest addition significantly enhances the already extensive list of benefits provided to Prime members, which includes rapid and free delivery on eligible orders from Amazon.com.au, targeted Prime exclusive deals, and premium entertainment options, such as Prime Video, all at no extra cost.
DashPass $0 delivery is available at thousands of restaurants and grocers, encompassing popular names like McDonald’s, Guzman y Gomez, Fishbowl, Grill’d, Betty’s Burgers, and Coles among many others, on eligible orders throughout Australia. The Prime membership from Amazon provides an all-in-one solution for consumers seeking savings, convenience, and rich entertainment experiences for only $9.99 per month or an annual fee of $79.
Earlier this year, Amazon Australia made headlines with the introduction of Prime Free Same-Day Delivery for eligible orders in Sydney, as well as the extension of Prime Free One-Day Delivery to additional regions, now covering diverse locations such as the Blue Mountains, Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong, Gold Coast, Gosford, Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula, Newcastle, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, and Wollongong. In 2024, Prime members took advantage of hundreds of thousands of discounted items and collectively saved millions during exclusive sale events like Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days. Additionally, Prime members gain access to Prime Video, showcasing an extensive collection of beloved movies, compelling series, riveting documentaries, and captivating live sports — highlights include Amazon MGM Studios-produced titles like Road House, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Fallout, Reacher, The Boys, and The Idea of You, along with locally created Australian series such as The Test S1-3, Deadloch, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, and Luxe Listings Sydney S1 – S3, among various other content treasures.
Arno Lenior, APAC Director of Prime at Amazon Australia commented, “We are incredibly excited to launch this offer of free DashPass on DoorDash to Prime members. At the very heart of Prime is savings and convenience. Whether that is delivery as fast as same or next day on over a million products for the majority of members, a suite of award-winning entertainment on Prime Video, or epic deals during Prime exclusive shopping events, we want to help Prime members make their dollars go further, doing the things they love. A member that uses their DashPass offer will save more than the cost of their entire Prime membership, unlocking even more value.”
