Marriott announces Uber partnership changes: The good, the bad and the totally worthless
02.10.2024 - 21:15 / thepointsguy.com / Marriott Bonvoy / Uber
Marriott announced changes to its partnership with Uber on Tuesday, including devaluing riders' points-earning potential while adding new yet less-than-worthwhile perks.
As of Oct. 14, the Marriott Bonvoy points-earning threshold for Uber spending is lowered as follows:
There is also one additional earnings opportunity beginning Oct. 14. Specifically, you'll earn 2 points per dollar spent on UberX Reserve rides.
Marriott is also offering Silver Elite status to annual Uber One members; this status tier is just one level above being a basic Marriott Bonvoy member. Silver Elite status holders get a 10% points-earning bonus on stays and eligible hotel purchases and late checkout based on availability. Those aren't bad perks but aren't anything to get too excited about. Remember that holding some Marriott Bonvoy credit cards gives you Gold Elite or even Platinum Elite status.

The final new feature is that customers can book an Uber Reserve ride in the Marriott Bonvoy app during their stay. To participate in this partnership, users must link their Uber and Marriott Bonvoy accounts here.

For me, September is a hard one to see go. With it, those last little moments of summer slip away, the temperature starts to change and it's time to start pulling out your warm coats. My September was especially great, though. It started with cruising around the Mediterranean and checking out a few dreamy hotels in Italy, followed by a quick trip to Mexico to check out Hyatt's new all-inclusive brand.
