Took my first Uber since linking to BAEC just after midnight on Friday and points were there when I woke up Saturday morning and this morning the 250 appeared as well.

1 from 3 of my family’s accounts got the 250 bonus this morning. Either the bonuses are not going through all together, or 2 of 3 didn’t work.

Young rapidex hasn't got his 250 yet either.

If you haven't got them, you will probably find that your BA and Uber accounts are no longer linked. Mine were mysteriously unlinked between 30th December and 2nd January (I got points for a ride on 29th, didn't on 3rd January) and this seems to have disqualified me.

Same here - last points posted 1st Jan, despite using Uber multiple times since then! I got an email a few days ago saying I needed to re-link.

All of our accounts remain linked.

I saw the delinking reports on HFP. Very naughty if Uber use that to avoid the 250 bonus.

As Uber is generally unavailable now in my usual location or drivers cancel at any point, I haven’t used Uber in the UK for a while.

Uber is rarely available in my area for taxis but I use it frequently to book train tickets - the 10% back as Uber credit that can then be used on the aforementioned tickets is a fantastic deal and better than any UK rail scheme out there. The Avios from these purchases credits near enough instantly but I haven't received the bonus. My account hasn't become unlinked as I've collected these points regularly since I linked the accounts last year.

My account has been linked from the start and has remained linked ever since (I even checked this morning) and haven't received anything...

Got mine today as well, which is nice. Now to see if you can earn Avios on the GBP equivalent of USD spend on Uber. Haven’t tried that yet

it’s Uk Uber only that will credit if that’s what you mean. I am afraid Uber trips outside the UK don’t count.

2 of 3 family accounts have now received the bonus, so they are being done in batches.
