[GONE] SPG + Uber Partnership - Earn Starpoints with Uber Rides - ENDED 17 DEC 2017
 

We are excited to announce a one of a kind partnership with Uber. Both Starwood and Uber are global companies that make travel easier for customers worldwide. This partnership will allow SPG to provide a seamless travel experience for our members. We are excited to provide SPG members with an opportunity to earn Starpoints each time they take an Uber ride as well as bonus Starpoints when they stay with Starwood. Now, earning Starpoints is as easy as requesting an Uber.

Here’s how it works:
• Link your SPG and Uber accounts at spg.com/uber. Your last name and email address must match on both accounts.
• Complete one qualifying stay in the calendar year at any Starwood Hotel or Resort worldwide.
• Within 24 hours of linking accounts SPG members will start earning Starpoints.

Here’s an overview of the earning potential by tier:

Preferred Members

Points Earned Every Day
1 per $ spent with Uber
Points Earned In-Stay
2 per $ spent with Uber

Gold and Platinum Members

This global partnership is available in every market where Uber operates. For more information and full details on the partnership, please see spg.com/uberterms or FAQs.

Any traveler who is not currently a registered SPG member can sign up at spg.com. To sign up for Uber, visit get.uber.com/spg. Accounts can be linked at spg.com/uber; last name and email addresses on both accounts must match.

As always, the Starwood Social Media Team is here to answer any questions you may have.

Did a google and found the following blogpost on Uber site.

Starting today riders who are Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) members have the opportunity to earn coveted Starpoints during any ride on the Uber platform.

I hope it's available globally and not just for the US market.

Link your account now!

Important: To verify and link your SPG and Uber accounts, you
must use the same email address and last name to sign in with
Uber that you use to sign in with SPG.

In short, does that mean after linking my accounts, I need one future stay to start earning pts via Uber rides.

Or previous stays this calendar year will apply and I can start earning right now?

I dont believe its retroactive to past stays. My interpretation is you just need one stay per year (after registering) for it to stay linked.

I tried registering and it's not working for me. It says either my last name or email address are not matching between SPG and Uber. I checked both profiles and email addresses match and so does my last name. So, unsure what's wrong...

The latter. It's implied in the description after you've linked up.

i wonder if uberTAXI is eligible too...

Nevermind, I verified reading the really long T&C, points to take note of:

Earning Starpoints for Any Uber Usage:
Subject to Section 2.2.b of these SPG-Uber Benefits Program Terms, Participants who meet the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 1 of these SPG-Uber Benefits Program Terms and who have at least one Stay already posted to their SPG Member account in the current Calendar Year will earn one base Starpoint for every one U.S. dollar or its foreign equivalent denomination spent on fares for any Uber Usage.

Each Participant will only be able to earn base Starpoints for fares on any Uber Usage up to a maximum spend of $10,000 U.S dollars or its foreign equivalent denomination on Uber Usages per Calendar Year (“Maximum Spend Amount”) pursuant to this Section 2.2 of these SPG-Uber Benefits Program Terms.

Participants will begin earning Starpoints for any Uber Usage that occurs 24 hours after (1) such Participant completes his/her registration for the SPG-Uber Benefits Program and (2) at least one Stay has posted to his/her SPG Member account during the current Calendar Year, regardless of the order of when the Stay was posted and when he/she completed the registration.

My guess is no... As it's not billed to your Uber account

The calendar year begins at January 1. The FAQ seems to indicate that any qualifying stay on the account from January 1 to February 25 will count for that qualifying stay.

Congratulations on this initiative.

Nice to see a genuinely useful initiative for once

Love this-
