GoKawiilMcDonald's names Uber preferred delivery partner for app orders in 14 countries
McDonald's designated Uber as its preferred delivery partner for orders placed through the McDonald's app, spanning 14 countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada and France. Previously those orders were split between Uber and DoorDash. Uber also becomes McDonald's exclusive delivery and rideshare rewards partner, letting some MyMcDonald's Rewards members redeem points for Uber ride discounts, though McDonald's remains listed on both Uber Eats and DoorDash apps.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The arrangement gives Uber access to McDonald's more than 45 million U.S. loyalty members, which could help it compete with DoorDash, currently holding roughly 59% of delivery-app spending according to Consumer Edge data. The move follows DoorDash's planned acquisition of Instacart and Uber's recent Amazon Prime delivery tie-up, suggesting an intensifying rivalry between the two delivery platforms for exclusive partnerships.
- Uber is now McDonald's preferred delivery partner across 14 countries, replacing a prior Uber-DoorDash split.
- Uber becomes McDonald's exclusive rideshare and delivery rewards partner, enabling points-for-rides redemption.
- The deal comes amid escalating competition between Uber and DoorDash, following DoorDash's Instacart deal and Uber's Amazon Prime partnership.
