But in all seriousness, this is something I like. SPG bonus points and Amex 2x points with Uber, all good.

The Uber data will help them figure out where to put more hotels. If they see lots of rides from a property in a city to another area of that city, they may recognize there's a lot of demand to be in that area and thus new construction would be profitable.

I see Uber is going to benefit a lot more in this partnership than SPG, accounting for their respective member numbers. For the extra starpoints, a percentage of us will start using Uber, or more of it, translating to revenues for Uber. It benefits us, no doubt. Just wondering what is the benefit for SPG?

I should have read the FAQ first... it says:
"In addition to any such Starpoints you may earn for all Uber rides, you will also earn bonus Starpoints for fares for all Uber rides taken during a Stay at an SPG Participating Hotel, where the Uber ride pick-up time occurs at any time between the date you check-in for such Stay (any time between 12AM through 11:59PM local time on such date) through the date you check-out from such Stay (12:00AM through 11:59PM local time on such date). The amount of bonus Starpoints you will earn will depend on your SPG membership status level at the time the Starpoints are posted to your SPG Member account"

Yes the T&Cs state the you give SPG your Uber ride info including drop-off and pick-up locations.
Does anyone know if the stay credits received for being an SPG Amex cardholder will count or do you have to actually stay at hotel each year to get points for Uber rides?

No, it needs to be an actual qualifying stay.

Asked a similar question to SL II that was lost in the follow-up posts... can you clarify:
1. Will a reward night stay on SPG points trigger the start of accruing points while using Uber? Or does it have to be a paid stay?
2. For those with an Uber ride credit for referring other Uber customers- will those rides also receive SPG points according to the cost of the ride?
