My SPG pts posted today! (So a week + a day later.)
It used to be same-day or next day, but I just earned points from multiple Ubers that I took last Thursday, a few on Sunday, and also on Monday.
So it lumps them all together now.
I still liked same-day, otherwise I'm gonna forget.

No postings for rides taken since November 19. Quite odd.
Is this a semi-regular occurrence?

My UBER rides were posting on SPG until January this year. Despite several UBER rides after that time - none of the rides have posted until october. Then they started to post again.
I have had 4 elible SPG stays this year since March.
I contacted SPG, but they say the missing ponts is an UBER issue.
I have been in contact with UBER numerous times now, and all they do is blowing smoke up my....Pretending not to know what I am talking about. Even issued a smal UBER "get-out-of-my-face" credit....like that was what I was looking for?
Has anyone had a similar experience, please?

If I'm reading the T&Cs right, after Feb 1, 2017, folks who don't have a SPG stay in Jan will stop getting points from Über rides. Will be a surprise for many.

I think this is a stupid rule. At least use a 12 month rolling thing rather than calendar year.

Isn't this the current rule? Am I missing something? Do you mean that we need a stay in January specifically, and not any other month?

I think the rule is that you must have a stay first each calendar year before you earn from Uber.... However, Uber rides in January still earn SPG points since it is the grace period.
