What is Amazon Fresh?

Amazon Fresh is a grocery delivery and pickup service open only to Amazon Prime members. 

Amazon Fresh is similar to your typical grocery store, delivering perishable, shelf-stable and household products in everyday package sizes, available in select regions.

Amazon Fresh is usually only available to people who have Amazon Prime. But Amazon is letting people who shop with a SNAP EBT card in eligible areas get access to Amazon Fresh without having to pay for a Prime membership. To get free delivery on an Amazon Fresh order, you must buy $35 or $50 worth of eligible items (in some areas) or more. You can also pay a shipping fee for a smaller order.

If you don’t meet the minimum order amount, you can’t use your SNAP EBT card to pay for the shipping fee. You’ll need to find another way to pay. Customers can choose their preferred delivery time within a 1- or 2-hour delivery window as soon as the same day.Please visit About Amazon Fresh Delivery for more information. 

As of now, it is it available in major cities, including the following:

  • Atlanta

  • Los Angeles
  • Miami
  • New York City Metro

Does AmazonFresh Accept EBT?

Not Now, but that will change soon. Amazon.com is ready to accept EBT for purchases online. That’s according to an update from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Amazon is one of the retailers selected for a USDA pilot that began in 2017.

Since Amazon Fresh is a grocery delivery service, only Amazon Prime members who also have Amazon Fresh will be able to use it when Amazon starts accepting EBT for online purchases.

Who is eligible to use SNAP EBT on Amazon?

At the moment, people in all states except Alaska and Hawaii who have a valid SNAP EBT card can use their SNAP funds on Amazon. Check back here for more information as we work with the USDA to cover more areas.

Do I need a Prime membership to use my SNAP EBT card on Amazon?

No, you don’t need Amazon Prime to use Amazon Fresh if you have a valid SNAP EBT card from a state that is eligible.

Amazon currently takes SNAP EBT from all states except Alaska and Hawaii. For Amazon Fresh and Amazon.com groceries, you still have to spend a certain amount to get free shipping.

Can I add a tip to an Amazon Fresh order when I pay with SNAP EBT?

No. SNAP money can only be spent on certain kinds of food. It can’t be used to pay for fees or tips. When an EBT card is linked to an Amazon Fresh order, you won’t be able to add a tip.

Items You Can Buy With Amazon Fresh

The eligible food items you can buy using an EBT card include:

  • Vegetables and fruits
  • Poultry, meat, and fish
  • Breads
  • Cereals
  • Snack foods
  • Non-alcoholic beverages
  • Seeds and plants that produce food to eat

The non-eligible items you cannot buy with an EBT card include:

  • Any alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor, etc.)
  • Tobacco and cigarettes
  • Vitamins, supplements, and medicines (if an item has a supplement facts label on the packaging, it’s considered a supplement and not eligible to buy with an EBT card)
  • Live animals (except shellfish, fish that were removed from the water, and animals slaughtered before buying at the store)
  • Prepared foods that are ready for consumption
  • Hot foods
  • Any non-food items (pet foods, cosmetics, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, paper products, and other household items)

1. Can you tip on Amazon Fresh with EBT?

Do Amazon Fresh Drivers See Tip? No, drivers do not see tips until after they have completed their delivery shift. This is to ensure that drivers do not feel pressured to provide good service in order to receive a tip, and so that customers also get the option to tip or not tip based on the service they received.

3. Are you supposed to tip Amazon drivers?

The tip you leave for an Amazon Fresh delivery driver should always be at least $5 since it is the default tip amount. Amazon Fresh drivers receive the full tip amount, and tips make up a big part of their income. Although drivers rely heavily on tips, they do not see how much each customer tips them.

4. How do I use EBT cash on Amazon?

  1. Add your SNAP EBT card.
  2. Shop groceries and deals.
  3. Enter your EBT PIN to pay for eligible items.
