My bonus arrived this afternoon (after checking HfP this morning it hadn't arrived then, however my accounts were still linked.)
I used Uber for some basic rail tickets and the Avios credited the same day. Glad to see Uber don't add booking fees or payment charges like the Trainline (just don't use the Trainline!). However I often have routes where using the "VIA" option results in a significantly cheaper fare, and the Uber interface (powered by Omio) doesn't offer that option.

Hi DYKWIA,
We apologise for the technical issue that resulted in your Uber and British Airways Executive Club accounts being unlinked.
As a result, we’re giving you 200 bonus Avios, which are already on the way. Plus, we'll make sure you get all the Avios you missed during the time your account wasn’t linked.
Remember, for every £1 you spend on Uber rides, you’ll collect 1 Avios. This includes regular rides and when you book coaches, trains, or the Eurostar through our app.
Get dropped off where you need to be and get a little closer to your next dream destination with British Airways.

I haven't got Avíos for any of my Uber rides in February, accounts are still linked. Sent a message to Uber and reply seemed so familiar. Do Uber and BA share the customer service centre?
We're sorry to hear you are having difficulty with collecting your Avios points. We are sorry to hear about this. We understand where you're coming from and this is not the experience we want you to expect.We have escalated this concern to the relevant team who will look into this further. You should receive your Avios points within 5 days.We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback as your feedback is important to us.

I have not had any for weeks now and just assumed the promo had ended. It is so hard to talk to Uber in the app I am impressed you got a reply,

Yes I got avios last week after an Uber ride in the UK so it’s definitely not ended.
Now what to spend my 11 avios on? 🤔😀

Has anyone had a delay in Avios positng recently?
Up until April, my Avios from Uber posted very quick (next day usually from memory).
However, I am out in the UAE and my Avios seems to be taking a while to post. Multiple trips not posted.
Anyone have any insight? Do you get Avios on Uber out here?
