UPDATE: October 26, 2017
Effective December 17, 2017 the SPG partnership with Uber will come to an end.

Members who have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year will continue to earn Starpoints on Uber rides up until 11:59PM on December 17, 2017.

If the stay overlaps with the program end date, you will still earn 2 starpoints per USD 1 spent on Uber rides taken during your stay. Any rides taken after 11:59 on December 17, 2017 even if taken during a stay that originated on or before December 17, 2014 will not earn starpoints on that uber ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will members stop earning Starpoints on their Uber rides?
Members who have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year will continue to earn Starpoints on Uber rides up until 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits.

If members have a stay that overlaps with the program end date, will they still earn 2 Starpoints per US$1 spent on Uber rides taken during the stay?
Yes, members who check-in for a Stay prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017 and have an Uber pick-up time prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits, will earn 2 Starpoints for every U.S. dollar or its foreign equivalent denomination spent for fares on the Uber ride(s). Any rides taken after 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, even if taken during a stay that originated on or prior to December 17, 2017, will not earn Starpoints on the Uber ride(s). To earn Starpoints for any Uber ride the member must have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year.

Why did I recently have a delay in my Starpoints posting for my Uber rides?
An issue was identified affecting Uber rides over the last month that delayed the posting of points to member accounts. We have since fixed this issue and members should receive all ride credits within the stated 2-4 week period.

UPDATE: January 18, 2017
Uber Partnership Update
  • During Hotel stay: Members will earn two Starpoints per US$1 spent with Uber (versus two, three or four Starpoints per US$1, depending on member tier).
  • Everyday: members will earn one Starpoint per US$2 spent with Uber (versus one Starpoint per US$1).

With your SPG and Uber accounts linked and you have met a requirement of ONE qualifying stay in the current calendar year, SPG members will earn 1 point per dollar spent with Uber on every day rides. For rides during stays, SPG members will earn 2 points per dollar spent on Uber (Preferred), 3 points per (Gold or Platinum), or 4 points per (Plat75).

There is a maximum of $10,000 in points-earning spend with Uber per calendar year. This means that you could have up to 40,000 SPG points with this promotion (if you were a Plat75 and only used Uber while on SPG stays and maxed out $10,000 in Uber services).

Fair enough but if this many people are having a problem with something that used to be seamless (I dont often use that word in travel) isnt it quite possible that there is a larger issue? These use to post within seemingly hours - certainly not more than a day later....

Not necessarily. If you go back and read over this thread, you will see where there were periods of time - some right up to the four week mark - where points from this partnership were not posting. Then, suddenly they all do within the four-week time-frame.

The only times they haven't been caught up on is when a member here and there gets unlinked and Program Services was (and still can be) called upon to fix it. But, no one can take any action until this four-week period passes.

Just did this, thanks for the information.

Points stopped posting on Sept 17th (latest update) and every rides starting Sept 21st have been missing (19 of them, including 6 during stays).

Hopefully will be sorted out soon!

My last Uber posting was for a September 25 ride but I assume that I will see some action in the next few days.

Similar -- missing at least 2 rides since then.

I have not had any Uber posting since July (last one was June). I wonder what the deal is...

Can add another...

Last Uber ride posted to my SPG account was Sept. 11 and I've had 15+ rides since with nada.

When I looked at the SPG side, it appeared they were still linked. However, the Uber side did not show them linked.

Thanks. I tried and it let me link - so I guess it must have unlinked somehow. Let's see if things catch up.

I don't believe they will catch up. You need to send screen prints to [email protected] and explain the situation. That group worked with me and all the points, including the bonus stay points, have now posted. They have a backlog now.
