Starwood and Uber’s Unique Partnership: What It Means for Travelers

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and Uber have formed a global partnership that lets Starwood Preferred Guest members earn Starpoints on Uber rides anywhere Uber operates.

“This partnership with Uber helps SPG members accelerate their progress toward rewards and reflects how Starwood blends high tech with high touch to enhance travel experiences,” said Adam Aron, CEO of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “Partnering with an innovative leader like Uber is especially gratifying — the company has meaningfully changed how people get around.”

To start earning, members simply link their SPG and Uber accounts at spg.com/uber. After completing one qualifying stay at any Starwood hotel within the calendar year, members earn one Starpoint for every $1 spent on Uber rides. The bonus Starpoints are awarded as in-stay earnings.

The benefit is available in every market where Uber operates, including major regions such as the United States, China, Brazil and Europe.
