Please, quantify “quickly”; 1 day, 3 days, a week, a month? Thank you.

Is 5 days the generally accepted interval to see Marriott points post from Uber rides?

I linked my Marriott and Uber accounts in November 2022 when there was a promotion offering 1000 points for linking the accounts. I didn’t automatically receive the 1000 points nor ride points for an Uber ride a week later. Called Marriott Customer Service, received “Bonus GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT +2,000 Points” and 10 days later “Bonus* UBER-BONVOY BONUS +1,000 Points”.

Took Uber rides 7 days ago and 4 days ago and yesterday, no points posted. My Uber app states “Marriott Bonvoy You’re earning points on rides and food.”

Should I have already received points for the ride a week ago and should I receive points for the other 2 rides in 1 and 4 days? (FWIW as comparison, Hilton points for Lyft rides, for any service level, regularly post within a few hours of ride completion.) Thank you.

Just read this after initially posting. Having used Lyft more than Uber, I’m minimally familiar with Uber. I just looked at my Uber activity and did not see any indication of Uber X or XL or Black or SUV or Comfort and I cannot remember which I chose at the time of the rides. Is there a way in the Uber app to see which type of ride was selected? Thank you.

You're choosing a qualifying Uber service level, correct? The base Uber product (Uber X) doesn't give points.
Thank you, that very well could be my answer. Unfortunately I cannot remember the service level I selected.
