Just linked my Uber and SPG accounts. Received on-screen confirmation on the SPG promos website, as well as a confirmation email. Then received a text message from the same text number (774-774) that verifies my Gold Status renewal each year. It said, "SPGAlerts: You have successfully linked your SPG & Delta accounts." My Delta and SPG accounts have been linked for several years.
Anyone else have this happen when they linked accounts with Uber? Is there a Starwood Lurker out there that would like additional info or a screengrab to try to track this down?

Wow. Bonuses posting quickly of late. Even before the actual rides did, including one I wasn't sure would count (1/4-6 was first 2017 stay).

Change is effective 1 February. Conveniently, 5x bonus is also effective 1 - 28 February - that means better get a stay in before the first ride.

Anyone think this reduction in points through Uber is part of the 'Marriott squeeze'?

I'd think that they'd round up and you'd get 1 point.
