Uber-SPG Partnership

Uber and SPG to End Partnership, No More Starpoints for Rides

Back in 2015 SPG and Uber partnered up to give you Starpoints for Uber rides. Initially you could earn 1 Starpoint per dollar and up to 4X during stays if you were a Platinum member. Then earlier this year, the rate dropped to just 1 Starpoint for every $2 spent with Uber.

Now Starwood has announced that the partnership is ending at the end of the year. You can sill keep earning 1 Starpoint for every $2 spent with Uber till 12/17/17 and 2 Starpoints per $1 during Starwood stays.

Here’s the text of the notice:

Important Update about the Uber and SPG Partnership

Since 2015, SPG® has offered you the opportunity to earn Starpoints® for rides you take with Uber.

This partnership will not be renewed for 2018 and will officially end on December 17, 2017.

You don’t need to take any action. Your SPG account and the Starpoints you’ve earned to-date with Uber will not be affected and you can still earn through December 17, 2017.

Conclusion

Although the earning rate was lowered earlier this year, it was still some extra points for Uber rides, and especially good during Starwood stays. It might have something to do with Uber launching their own credit card next month.
