UPDATE: October 26, 2017

Yes, got an email overnight from SPG announcing the end of the partnership. The same night my last rides in Bangkok posted.
I use Didi in China now for most of my rides but when I go elsewhere in Asia I've been loyal to Uber to get the points. However it has been increasingly obvious that Grab has been gaining ground and popularity with drivers. I'll take this opportunity to switch my rides from Uber to Grab.
It will be really interesting to see if dropping the SPG partnership will have an actual affect on Uber's businesses in Asia. I can't be the only one who stuck with them purely because of the SPG points.

In Kuala Lumpur, waiting for your driver to arrive seems to be twice as quick when using Grab vs Uber.

Uber is going to make a great business case review for B-School in the future. You'd think with the challenges they are facing, they would want to continue to encourage loyalty. Maybe the combined pool of customers with Marriott is to large for their interests and bank accounts.

I have never used Uber but sad to see this gone as I was maybe going to use it this coming summer quite a bit and this was a big incentive to do so.

I found all my missing points from Uber rides in my account at 6 PM EDT yesterday--automatically, without e-mailing 
. Thank you, William (Lurker) for answering my Post #667 of yesterday morning.
PLUS: I just now got my 10 SPG points for last night's Uber rides ! All is well--hope it stays so until Dec. 17 when Scrooge & the Grinch bring this program to an end. Gee, couldn't Uber have waited until New Year's Eve to terminate?
