Sadly no points are given if the Uber credit is paid for with existing account credit (from referrals)

Has anyone received the 15,000 points on their SPG account?
An entry was posted on my account for the promotion but no points yet.
Thank you.

You may want to check in with the Lurkers here... see below:
This is what I was told:
1) Any SPG-eligible stay counts
2) Yes – all credits and discounts through Uber offers/promos are considered eligible dollars spent

My guess is someone will say. Meanwhile I apparently got carjacked by a fellow FTer so I won't be getting anything from this one :P

My SPG points for my UberX ride got posted and I noticed something that may have to do with timezones.
Uber +17 - 03/06/2015
UBER RIDE 05MAR15 @ $17
Uber +16 - 03/06/2015
UBER RIDE 06MAR15 @ $16
Both of these rides were on 6th March 2015 in Singapore, the $17 ride was in the morning while the $16 was in the afternoon/evening. But it looks like the morning ride was treated as the 5th March 2015. Looks like they use US Timezone to credit the points.
