For those who haven’t yet taken advantage of this partnership, there’s a new promotion that lets you earn 750 bonus points by simply linking your Marriott Bonvoy and Uber accounts — no rides or food deliveries required. The process is as simple as linking your accounts with a few taps on your phone. Frequent Miler first shared the news.

We’ve seen similar deals in the past that required linking your accounts and taking a ride, but this one is even easier. All you have to do is link your Marriott Bonvoy account to your Uber account in the Uber app by Nov. 27, and you’ll get 750 bonus Bonvoy points. This bonus is only available to members who are linking their accounts for the first time.

Linking your accounts is quick and easy:

  • Open the Uber app and tap “Account” in the bottom right.
  • Tap “Settings” and scroll down to tap “Marriott Bonvoy” under the “Rewards” section.
  • Tap “Link Account” and log in to your Marriott Bonvoy account.

Voila, that’s it! You’ll see the following confirmation at the bottom of your settings.

Getting the bonus isn’t quite as fast. According to the promotion page, your 750 bonus points may take four to six weeks to appear in your Marriott Bonvoy account.

Keep earning Marriott points on Uber rides and food delivery

UBER

Once your accounts are linked, you’ll not only earn 750 bonus points, but you’ll also continue earning points on qualifying Uber rides and Uber Eats orders.

You’ll earn points as follows:

  • 2 points per dollar spent on U.S. UberX Reserve rides and 3 points per dollar spent on U.S. Uber Premium rides (includes UberXL, Uber Black, Uber SUV and Uber Comfort)
  • 2 points per dollar spent on Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders of $40 or more delivered to Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites and Element hotels in the U.S.
  • 1 point per dollar spent on Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders of $40 or more elsewhere in the U.S.

Marriott says it could take a few business days for Bonvoy points to post after eligible Uber rides and food deliveries. However, based on the TPG team’s experiences, the points typically post almost immediately.

If you want to maximize your rewards while still earning Marriott Bonvoy points, consider paying with a credit card that earns bonus points or miles on Uber rides or food delivery so you can effectively double dip.

Gabrielle Bernardini, TPG’s senior points and miles editor, maximizes her rewards by using The Platinum Card® from American Express, which offers Uber Cash — $15 each month, plus a $20 bonus in December — to use for Uber rides or Uber Eats in the U.S. (make sure your Amex Plat is added to the Uber account and you can redeem with any Amex card). She then earns 1 American Express Membership Rewards point per dollar spent beyond those credits, which TPG values at 2 cents apiece, according to our November 2024 valuations. This is in addition to bonus Marriott points.

Bottom line

Since this promotion ends Nov. 27, now is a great time to link your Marriott and Uber accounts and earn 750 bonus Bonvoy points, even if you don’t plan to use Uber or Uber Eats anytime soon. All future qualifying rides and orders will earn you valuable Marriott Bonvoy points that you can redeem toward free nights.
