Yes, thank you. I was aware of the Jan 18th change, I was just surprised that I didn't get my "bonus" points right away being that I have been staying in a SPG property while I took the ubers.
And thank you to lcpteck for confirming that the bonus pts will post separate.

I couldn't find the definition of Eligible stay in T&C.
Any experience if points or points and cash stays count?
If not, any restriction on properties or a 45$ stay at an Aloft will do?
I am sorry if it's already covered and I missed it.

Is this just for US Uber rides? I had several Uber rides in Singapore and Thailand in early February that haven't credited. FWIW, I haven't had any SPG stays in 2017 yet.

My understanding is that one needs a valid stay with SPG in 2017 to continue earning Starpoints when riding Uber after February. Month of January is exempted based on 2016's stays. I just got my first stay last weekend so the earnings will now resume abate at a much reduced rate.

Would a Marriott stay count as the initial activation stay?

Trouble With Uber Rides Posting?
I just noticed that none of my 18 Uber rides since May 4 have posted to my SPG account. Most of those were during SPG stays. Is this a common issue or is it just me?

Same Issue Here w/Uber
My Uber rides since May 4th haven't posted either. It actually has been happening quite a lot this calendar year. In the past the rides would post a day or two after I took them. This year it is going in spurts. Sometimes I get it within a day or two but then about every 2 months they stop posting.
When I have inquired, I get the "It can take up to xx days to post" and then I see them on my account within a day or two and things seem to be back to normal.
