GrubHub’s New Perks Program Offers Free Food, Discounts, and Rewards
Don’t feel like cooking (or leaving the house) tonight?
GrubHub, the popular restaurant delivery service, just launched a new “Perks” program on their mobile app to provide users with exclusive in-app offers, along with new ways to earn and redeem restaurant loyalty rewards.
“Restaurants have always used free food as a perk for their VIP diners – to keep them happy and coming back. We have now extended this practice to Grubhub diners by building loyalty tools so our restaurant partners can promote their restaurants more aggressively on our marketplace and reward their best digital diners as well,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO.
The new in-app Perks feature is available now, and is launching with loads of free* food and discounts for users, including:
- A FREE Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell.
- A FREE Original or Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel at Auntie Anne’s.
- A dozen FREE Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster.
- A FREE 20-ounce smoothie from Smoothie King.
- Additional offers from Shake Shack, Applebee’s, Just Salad, honeygrow, Pokeworks, and Argo Tea
*Note that delivery fees, sales tax, and driver tip will still apply.
Users can tap the “Perks” button at the bottom of the home screen to access the program. From there, they’ll find a “Redeem” tab filled with offers and an “Earn” tab that shows local loyalty rewards programs that can be used through the GrubHub app.
Even better, for a limited time, new customers can save $7 off your first purchase of $12 or more by ordering through the GrubHub app and using our exclusive GrubHub promo code HIP7 at checkout. Don’t have the GrubHub app yet? Download it for free!
Not familiar with this site? GrubHub is a site that makes it easy to order from thousands of restaurant menus in hundreds of cities, then build your meal, and order it online. It’s a great way to score dinner when everyone wants something different – just type in your address to find participating restaurants in your area!
Can you order online and pick up or is it just delivery? Is there a referral program like DoorDash?
You can order online and pickup. There is a referral program. If you check Retail Me Not, you should be able to find someone’s referral code. I believe you get $12 off your first order of at least $15 (of food) when you use someone’s referral code.
Hi there, no it is delivery only. Yes, they do have a referral program. I can send you a coupon code for $12 off your first $15+ order through grubhub and after you place your first order I would get a $12 referral bonus. If you are interested please e-mail me at amandafreemail@gmail.com and I would love to send you a code 🙂
It’s not delivery only. I’ve been picking up my breakfast AND lunch using grubhub…. ivw gotten so good at this that I’ve been eating free every day… if a place is giving u 7 bucks off from 7am-3pm and another place is giving u 10$ off from 3-6pm, if you’re not paying the delivery fee, you can basically game this system to eat for virtually nothing. I live in nyc and have been paying for very little since I figured it out. Me n my roommate each place an order, and one of us goes n picks it up… n we usually share …she gets a burger, I get fries n a shake… boom. Living in nyc helps I guess bc theres so many options, but I dont get how they make money when they offer the money off over n over….everyone needs to know this secret. Before they realize and fix it!
I have had nothing but issues ordering from Grubhub. I don’t recommend their app at all. If you haven’t tried DoorDash, you can get $5 off your first five orders! https://drd.sh/AWcjKi/ And you can try out DashPass free for $30 to get free delivery!
I’ve tried a couple of these services, but I will only use it when I’m very desperate. The amount of money I had to spend wasn’t worth it.
It’s not delivery only. If you change to pickup, you dont have to pay any taxes or delivery fees, so the bonus goes straight to the price of your food!!!! I’ve been picking up my breakfast AND lunch using grubhub for FREE…. ive gotten so good at this that I’ve been eating free every day… if a place is giving u 7 bucks off from 7am-3pm and another place is giving u 10$ off from 3-6pm, if you’re not paying the delivery fee, you can basically game this system to eat for virtually nothing.

Before they realize and fix it! Also, if you’re at work or a different address than your home address, change the delivery location to current location.. the app then shows you a whole bunch of OTHER places close by where you are that you can order n pick up from for free… 3am drunk in the city, you can stop at a pizzeria n pick up a free slice… on your way to work, order a coffee n donut n pick it up on your way…. for free!
Just to note, the places listed on top are usually just the first order will give u the credit, but if it’s on the bottom n gives u a time frame(i.e. 7$ off at cafe cafe from 3-6pm) you can order over n over from these places… even twice in 1 day…those offers are rare, but if you’re lucky enough to have one around you, use it!
