Uber partnership allows Marriott loyalty members to earn points on rides, deliveries
Marriott Bonvoy members have to link their accounts to Uber to earn points
With the COVID-19 vaccine rollout underway, many Americans are getting back to travel. A new partnership between Uber and Marriott International is making it easier for people to earn points for when they’re ready to hit the road again.
On Wednesday, the companies announced that members of Marriott’s loyalty program, Bonvoy, can now earn points on Uber rides and Uber Eats deliveries.
To earn points, Marriott Bonvoy members just have to link their accounts to Uber through the Uber app.

According to the announcement, Bonvoy members can earn three points per dollar spent on Uber XL, Comfort and Black rides.
Meanwhile, members can earn six points per dollar spent on Uber Eats for $25-minimum deliveries to Marriott-brand hotels in the U.S. They can also get two points per dollar spent on non-hotel deliveries with a minimum cost of $25.

"By quickly linking your Uber and Marriott Bonvoy accounts, you're one step closer to your next trip when ordering from your favorite local spots on Uber Eats or hopping in a ride."
