I wonder if it's Uber backing away from Starwood? I now see Uber-related marketing, links, etc. on all sorts of hotel sites. Perhaps they find it more in their interest to be seen as more brand-agnostic when it comes to hotels.
In any case, I barely notice the bonus Starwood points from Uber rides, so I'm not losing too much sleep over this one. In cities where I have a choice, I use Lyft anyway.

Perhaps, Uber doesn't need to attach itself to Starwood. Was there was an exclusivity in the initial agreement that enticed us by offering more points. Now with more uber drivers and other ride sharing companies, neither partner is "winning"? What is the benefit for both company's and their members/subscribers and what is the ROI?
I'm sure all of the above and then-some is proprietary.

It's too bad they devalued their everyday uber purchases. I couldn't have cared less about the bonuses during the stay. Now there's less incentive, if not no incentive to order ubereats

Is there anyway to link my wife's uber account to my Spg account as Well?
Only I have an SPG account . My uber account is linked to SPG. My wife and I share the same personal Visa card. She does not have an SPG account. Is there a way to tie her usage of uber to my Spg account?

Have you checked the T&Cs in the wiki? Do you and your wife share the same email?

Would it not be easier to just have your wife use your Uber account?
It is already mapped.
There is no restriction on the number of devices for 1 account.
Probably not work if both of you frequently travel (on Uber) separately and at the same time...

Just had my points post for the two Ubers I took last night. (Surprised they arrived so fast!).
However, i am currently in a 2-night SPG stay and only 1/2 the amount of SPG points posted. So... i'm hoping the remaining points arrive soon.
Anyone experience a lag time w the new policy in current stay points posting? Thx!

I'm currently experiencing something similar. I've been at an SPG hotel for every night in February (and January, but I digress...) and all of my uber rides have posted quickly, but only at the new 2 points / US dollar rate. No bonuses have posted for taking the uber during a stay, and no February bonus for 5 points / US dollar have posted either.
