Staycation to Vacation – Earn Marriott Bonvoy Points With Uber (Partnership in Detail)

Ride and eat your way to more travel rewards thanks to the Marriott Bonvoy and Uber partnership. Now, those rides around town can help get you out of town. And your Friday night delivery routine can be the start of your next weekend vacation.

Earning Marriott Bonvoy Points With Uber

Marriott and Uber have partnered, allowing users to earn Marriott Bonvoy points every time they use the Uber or Uber Eats apps. By linking your Marriott Bonvoy account to your Uber account, you can earn 1-3 Marriott Bonvoy Points with each ride or food order.

Linking your Marriott Bonvoy account to your Uber account earns points on all premium Uber rides. Qualifying Premium Uber rides earn the following:

• 3x points per $1 on Uber Premium rides: UberXL, Uber Black, Uber SUV, Uber Comfort (Reserve included)
• 2x points per $1 on UberX Reserve

You can also link your Marriott Bonvoy account to your Uber Eats and earn the following:

• 2x points per $1 on Uber Eats restaurant/grocery orders of $40+ delivered to Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, or Element
• 1x point per $1 on other Uber Eats restaurant/grocery orders of $40+

All Uber Eats orders must be within the US and exclude any taxes, service charges, or tips.

Program valid for qualifying U.S. rides and U.S. Uber Eats orders only; Uber account should be associated with a U.S. phone 

If your linked Uber account has a qualifying annual Uber One subscription, Marriott Bonvoy will grant complimentary Silver Elite (10% bonus points on stays, Priority Late Checkout, member rates). You must remain linked. U.S. only.

Redeeming Marriott Bonvoy Points

Connecting your Uber accounts to your Marriott Bonvoy account is a great way to accumulate points using your everyday activities. With ridesharing and delivery services becoming the norm in the US, especially in major cities, this partnership gives the bonus of travel when you use them.

Marriott Bonvoy Points can be redeemed for travel perks. Enjoy stays at more than 8,000 properties worldwide, room upgrades, tour activities, and rewards with airline or cruise partners. Points are also redeemable for Uber Gift Cards and Uber Eats Gift Cards, so you can continue using the services you love!

Maximizing Points with Credit Card Perks

Take advantage of special credit card perks to capitalize on points earned with this program (and save you money). Several credit cards offer Uber Cash credits, which are also eligible to earn Marriott Bonvoy Points when spent on qualifying rides.

These are the best credit cards to use for frequent Uber and Uber Eats users:

• The Platinum Card from American Express ($895 annual fee) – offers $200 Uber Cash, $120 Uber One Credit annually. Also earns 1 point per Uber ride.
• American Express Gold Card ($325 annual fee) – offers $120 Uber Cash credit annually (Get $10 in Uber Cash each month). 4x for orders from restaurants via Uber Eats (dining in, takeout, delivery, if the merchant has a restaurant code). However, orders placed in the Uber Eats app often lack a restaurant code, so they earn 1x. And 1 point per Uber ride.

How to Link Your Marriott Bonvoy Account with Uber and Uber Eats

Before you begin earning Marriott Bonvoy Points with Uber, you must first link your accounts using the following steps:

1. Open the Uber app
2. Choose ‘Settings’ in the menu in the top-left corner
3. Tap ‘Marriott Bonvoy’ under the Rewards section
4. Tap ‘Link Account’
5. Sign in with your Marriott Bonvoy account credentials. If you are not yet a member of Marriott Bonvoy, you can join for free here.
6. In Uber, make sure “Marriott Bonvoy” is set as your active Earning Partner before you ride/order
7. Start riding and earning!

After connecting, the Rewards section in your settings will show that you’ve linked your Marriott Bonvoy account. If your Uber Eats account doesn’t link automatically, you can complete the same steps via settings in the Uber Eats app. Once you’ve linked the accounts, you’re all set for all eligible rides and orders.

Now, you can start earning Marriott Bonvoy Points when you use Uber.

Currently, there is an offer to receive a bonus of 1,000 points + participation in a prize draw after linking your Marriott Bonvoy account with Uber — details in Marriott × Uber: Earn 1,000 Bonvoy Points with 1 Premium Ride (+ Chance to Win 1M).
