I have just done it but got the message Oops something went wrong (BA no doubt) but I then received an email from Uber to confirm my account is now linked - when I go back into Uber > Account > Settings > Rewards it confirms I am now collecting Avios. -

Now if they could make it for 1 Avios per minute you have to wait for an Uber then it could be interesting ( or compensation in Avios when the driver cancels on you )
I understand the economics of it isn't attractive for a lot of the drivers and this is the root of a lot of the issues .. but as a user it's really become so much worse in London than it used to be - will do most things to avoid Uber these days , hard to rely on it ( and even if you can get a car the prices have become rather 'adventurous' quite a lot of the time )

Are there any good sign-up bonuses for new accounts?
I googled and found this one only https://www.telegraph.co.uk/vouchercodes/uber

No Rewards heading in my app. Surely this is not worth the hassle given the paltry earning potential.

Linked successfully after updating the Uber app. The Starwood/Uber partnership back in the day helped drip feed points in , and while this isn’t going to earn me an F return to SYD it will give a modest return on spend.
As for Uber v Black cabs, John Warbouys and personally making 2 reports of drivers for racist abuse. Never had that with Uber! 😉

Hi all,
I've just managed to complete this on iOS/iPhone without any issues.
I've put some instructions/screenshots below for anyone struggling, hope this is helpful.
1. Tap on Account and then Settings
2. Tap on the option for BAEC
3. Tap on Link Account
4. Sign in using your BAEC details
5. If you are happy with what is being transferred from BAEC to Uber, then click Accept
6. Once done, you should see the following screen
