SPG and Uber UK
I have a question regarding earning points on Uber with SPG, this year I have an eligible stay with a SPG property but I haven't sign up for Uber yet. I will sign up with Uber later this week and linked my account with SPG, do I get starpoints or I will need to have another stay at SPG properties?

Good question.
I think the point is that you have an active SPG account in order to earn Starpoints from Uber. Basically so that people can't keep Starpoints alive ONLY from taking Ubers...
I'm pretty sure I didn't have a stay in between signing up for Uber and my first ride.

As long as you've had an SPG stay during the current calendar year then you're all set and good to go.

Would anyone happen to know how long the point will be credited to SPG after the ride?

GVA is correct in this case. Uber Ride credit will only be earned if you've had at least 1 SPG Eligible Stay in that calendar year.

For most of the year I was reliably getting the points the day after my ride. My last few rides have been posting 4-5 days afterwards though.

I've called their call centre in Cork, they said that it takes around 2-4 weeks. This is quite annoying.
