UPDATE: October 26, 2017
Effective December 17, 2017 the SPG partnership with Uber will come to an end.

Members who have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year will continue to earn Starpoints on Uber rides up until 11:59PM on December 17, 2017.

If the stay overlaps with the program end date, you will still earn 2 starpoints per USD 1 spent on Uber rides taken during your stay. Any rides taken after 11:59 on December 17, 2017 even if taken during a stay that originated on or before December 17, 2014 will not earn starpoints on that uber ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will members stop earning Starpoints on their Uber rides?
Members who have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year will continue to earn Starpoints on Uber rides up until 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits.

If members have a stay that overlaps with the program end date, will they still earn 2 Starpoints per US$1 spent on Uber rides taken during the stay?
Yes, members who check-in for a Stay prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017 and have an Uber pick-up time prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits, will earn 2 Starpoints for every U.S. dollar or its foreign equivalent denomination spent for fares on the Uber ride(s).

To earn Starpoints for any Uber ride the member must have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year.

Why did I recently have a delay in my Starpoints posting for my Uber rides?
An issue was identified affecting Uber rides over the last month that delayed the posting of points to member accounts. We have since fixed this issue and members should receive all ride credits within the stated 2-4 week period.

UPDATE: January 18, 2017
Uber Partnership Update
  • During Hotel stay: Members will earn two Starpoints per US$1 spent with Uber (versus two, three or four Starpoints per US$1, depending on member tier).
  • Everyday: members will earn one Starpoint per US$2 spent with Uber (versus one Starpoint per US$1).

With your SPG and Uber accounts linked and you have met a requirement of ONE qualifying stay in the current calendar year, SPG members will earn 1 point per dollar spent with Uber on every day rides. For rides during stays, SPG members will earn 2 points per dollar spent on Uber (Preferred), 3 points per (Gold or Platinum), or 4 points per (Plat75).

There is a maximum of $10,000 in points-earning spend with Uber per calendar year. This means that you could have up to 40,000 SPG points with this promotion (if you were a Plat75 and only used Uber while on SPG stays and maxed out $10,000 in Uber services).

If you're using Gmail the SPG e-mail will show up under Promotions, not the main Inbox.

I love this partnership, but SPG's system really needs to learn to handle hyphenated names properly.

Got my email confirming the 15k points this evening.

At first my spg and uber accounts would not link but I worked out it was because there was a 'space' after my surname on spg and not uber...

Still awaiting anyone's confirmation that SPG points have actually dropped into their accounts from an Uber ride.

Does anyone know what the turnaround time is between ride/points? (Not talking about this 15k promo).

Apologies if you missed this from the FAQ:

How soon are Starpoints earned in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program posted to my SPG Member account?

If you are registered for the SPG-Uber benefits program and have completed at least one Stay within the current calendar year, any base Starpoints that you earn for Uber rides will post to your SPG Member account within 2 to 4 weeks after the ride is completed. Any bonus Starpoints that you earn for Uber rides taken during a Stay will post to your SPG Member account within 2 to 4 weeks after the Stay has been posted to your SPG Member account.

Best regards,

Apparently there are 75 rides total for London today. 15 drivers.
I had heard that as well. Was trying to recall how many SPG members were "competing ". It was kinda cool seeing the SPG option on the application.

Does Award stay by SPG card counts as one stay? I am staying at Westin now but it won't be posted till after I leave, and I want to take advantage of this Uber thing now. Guess I'm going Uber now, LOL

No, those nights from Amex SPG do NOT count.
