I just got coffee AND breakfast delivered straight to my house for only FIVE CENTS out of pocket using my Amex Gold! Let me show you exactly how I did it, step by step, so you can do it too.
What You Need
- The Amex Gold Card, enrolled in its $10 monthly dining credit (Grubhub is an eligible partner)
- Amazon Prime, which gets you Grubhub+ for free
- The Grubhub app and promo code APP100 (valid through November 1, 2026)
Step 1: Activate Grubhub+ for Free with Prime
If you have Amazon Prime, you get Grubhub+ for FREE! That means $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders. You also need to be an active Grubhub+ member for the promo code to work, so don’t skip this step.
Step 2: Download the Grubhub App
The promo is an app exclusive, so it only works in the Grubhub app, not on the website.
Step 3: Grab the APP100 Promo Code
RIGHT NOW, code APP100 gets you up to $20 off each of your first THREE delivery orders in the Grubhub app. That’s up to $60 in free food!
Step 4: Build Your Order and Apply the Code
I added my coffee (an Iced Pecan Crunch Latte) and a Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap to my cart for a $20.90 subtotal. The code takes up to $20 off your subtotal, so getting your cart close to $20 is how you get the most out of it. Then I applied APP100 at checkout!
Here’s how the checkout broke down:
- Subtotal: $20.90
- Delivery fee:
$2.99$0.00 with Grubhub+ - Service fee:
$3.14$1.67 with Grubhub+ - Tax: $1.86
- APP100 offer: -$20.00
That brought my total down to just $4.43 before tip!
Step 5: Tip Your Driver and Pay with Your Amex Gold
I added a $5.62 tip for my driver, which brought my total to $10.05. Then I paid with my Amex Gold!
Step 6: Get Your $10 Dining Credit Back
The $10.05 charge shows up on my Amex Gold, and because Grubhub is an eligible dining partner, I’ll get my $10 monthly dining credit back as a statement credit.
$10.05 charged − $10.00 dining credit = $0.05 out of pocket. I literally paid FIVE CENTS for coffee and breakfast delivered straight to my door! 🙌
Bestie Tips Before You Try This
- Enroll in the Amex Gold dining credit first. It’s not automatic. You have to enroll once in your Amex account or app.
- The dining credit resets monthly. It’s use-it-or-lose-it, so if you haven’t used this month’s $10 yet, now’s your chance.
- You still pay tax, service fees, and tip. The code only discounts your food subtotal, which is why my total wasn’t $0 before the Amex credit.
- You get three uses. Use APP100 on up to three delivery orders before it expires November 1.

Grubhub+ benefits
