Marriott & Uber New User Promo: Earn Up To 2,500 Bonus Points

Marriott and Uber have a partnership, allowing Bonvoy members to earn points when spending with Uber and Uber Eats. If you haven’t yet participated in this collaboration, there’s a good incentive to do so right now, as flagged by Miles to Memories.

New members can earn 2,500 bonus Bonvoy points

At the moment it’s possible to earn up to 2,500 Marriott Bonvoy points when you link your Uber or Uber Eats app and your Marriott Bonvoy account, and make qualifying purchases:

• Earn 500 bonus Bonvoy points when you link your Marriott Bonvoy and Uber accounts
• Earn 1,000 bonus Bonvoy points when you complete a qualifying ride with Uber
• Earn 1,000 bonus Bonvoy points when you place a qualifying food or grocery order for delivery with Uber Eats

As you’d expect, there are some terms to be aware of:

• This is valid through April 15, 2024
• This is valid for accounts registered in the United States that haven’t previously downloaded the Uber or Uber Eats app and linked their Marriott Bonvoy account
• A qualifying Uber purchase would be an Uber XL, Comfort, or Black ride
• A qualifying Uber Eats purchase would be a food or grocery order for delivery of $40 or more, before any fees
• Bonus points will post within four to six weeks

Personally I value Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents each, so to me this is like a bonus of up to $17.50. However, you can earn 500 points, 1,500 points, or 2,500 points, based on the activity you complete. That’s not huge, but it’s better than nothing, especially since there’s value to participating in this partnership in general.

How the Marriott & Uber partnership works

With the Marriott Bonvoy and Uber partnership, you can earn 2-6x Bonvoy points per dollar spent with Uber, depending on the type of transaction (for context, I value Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents each):

• Earn 6x Bonvoy points per dollar spent on Uber Eats deliveries to hotels operating under the Marriott brand with a minimum $40 basket; I value that at an incremental 4.2% return
• Earn 2x Bonvoy points per dollar spent on non-hotel deliveries and food pick-ups with a minimum $25 basket; I value that at an incremental 1.4% return
• Earn 3x Bonvoy points on Uber XL, Comfort, and Black rides; I value that at an incremental 2.1% return

Bottom line

Through April 15, 2024, you can earn up to 2,500 bonus Bonvoy points when you download the Uber or Uber Eats app, link your Marriott Bonvoy account, and make a qualifying partner activity. I wouldn’t make a purchase just to take advantage of this offer, but if you’re interested in this partnership in general, this would be a good time to sign up.
