Imagine earning Marriott Bonvoy points on your way to the airport, on your way home, traveling from one point to another within a city while you are traveling, or ordering in food to your hotel room or home.
You do not have to imagine that any more, as you can earn 3,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when you link your Marrott Bonvoy and Uber accounts effective immediately as the result of a partnership which launched in Spring 2021 between the lodging company and the ride sharing service…
Earn 3,000 Bonus Marriott Bonvoy Points With Uber Partnership Fall 2022
…but in order to take advantage of this offer, you must first download the official mobile application software program of Uber and link your Marriott Bonvoy membership account and Uber membership account — if you already have downloaded it prior to this offer, you do not qualify for this promotion — by Saturday, December 31, 2022 at 11:59 in the evening Eastern Standard Time. You can earn the bonus of 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy points only once.
A qualifying transaction is one which occurs within the United States — meaning either:
- A ride taken with Uber XL, Uber Black, Uber SUV, or Uber Comfort; or
- An order placed through Uber Eats with a minimum amount of $25.00 in United States dollars in spend after the calculation of any applicable promotions or discounts — excluding taxes, fees, and tips or gratuities
Earning Marriott Bonvoy Points With Every Dollar Spent on Uber
After linking your Marriott Bonvoy membership account with your Uber account — and upon earning your 3,000 bonus points — you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points on qualifying Uber Eats orders and select Uber rides both at home and wherever your travels take you.
For each dollar spent on all qualifying transactions in the United States only. — after promotions and discounts; and excluding taxes, fees, and tips and gratuities — you will receive, as applicable:
- 3 Marriott Bonvoy points on the following rides:
- Uber XL
- Uber Black
- Uber SUV
- Uber Comfort
- 6 Marriott Bonvoy points on orders booked by using Uber Eats delivered to Marriott International properties — excluding Homes & Villas by Marriott International
- 2 Marriott Bonvoy points on all other orders booked by using Uber Eats
Select Terms and Conditions
A maximum of only one Marriott Bonvoy account may be linked to a Uber account; and a maximum of only one Uber account can be linked to a Marriott Bonvoy account.
You must be a member of the Marriott Bonvoy frequent guest loyalty program — you can join now free of charge if you are not yet a member — in order to take advantage of this partnership.
You cannot be credited with Marriott Bonvoy points for Uber rides which occurred prior to linking your accounts. You must first link your accounts prior to your next eligible Uber ride in order to receive credit.
Please allow up to eight weeks from completion of the qualifying transaction for the 1,000 bonus points to appear in your Marriott Bonvoy membership account.
Other limitations, guidelines, restrictions, terms, and conditions — including those of this promotion; of the Marriott Bonvoy frequent guest loyalty program; and of the Uber ride sharing service — apply; and are subject to change.
Final Boarding Call
I am somewhat surprised that six Marriott Bonvoy points are not offered when taking a qualifying Uber ride to a Marriott hotel or resort property as a final destination — similar to that of Uber Eats.
This partnership appears to be in response to the partnership which the Hilton Honors frequent guest loyalty program has had with Lyft since May of 2019.
Although this partnership between Marriott Bonvoy and Uber is great news if you have always wanted to earn Marriott Bonvoy points while using ground transportation, you should still compare alternatives if you are sensitive to price, as Uber will not always be the least expensive option.
