Marriott and Uber have teamed up again to offer bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when linking your accounts. You don't even have to complete a ride. This offer is only valid for travelers who haven't previously linked their Marriott Bonvoy and Uber accounts and is valid through April 16, 2025.
Earn 1,500 Bonus Marriott Bonvoy Points With One Uber Ride
Uber and Marriott launched their linking program in 2021 and have since offered members different ways to earn bonus Marriott Bonvoy points. If you haven't linked your accounts yet, here's how you can currently earn an easy 1,500 bonus Marriott points.
This new promotion offers Marriott Bonvoy members the chance to earn 1,500 points when linking their accounts together for the first time. You don't even have to complete a ride to earn the bonus points.
Terms and conditions
- This promotion does not require registration.
- Must download and link your Marriott and Uber accounts by 11:59 p.m. on April 16, 2025.
- This bonus is only available to residents of the United States who have not linked their accounts previously.
- Bonus points will post to your Marriott Bonvoy account within four to six weeks of linking your accounts.
Based on recent AwardWallet user redemptions, the bonus Marriott points from this promotion are worth approximately $15.
How To Link Uber and Marriott Accounts
Linking your Marriott Bonvoy and Uber accounts is quite simple. Simply open the Uber app, go to settings, and scroll down to where it says “Marriott Bonvoy” under “Rewards.” Tap on that, tap “Link Account”, and sign in to your Marriott Bonvoy account with your membership number or email. Then, wait for a confirmation that your accounts are linked.
Once your accounts are linked, you will start earning points on qualifying Uber Eats orders and premium rides with Uber.

Earning Marriott Points Through Uber
You can earn Marriott Bonvoy points when using Uber, especially when it comes to Uber Eats orders delivered to specific Marriott brands. Marriott devalued the earning rates in October 2024, and are now as follows:
- 3 points per dollar spent on Uber premium rides in the U.S. (including Uber XL, Uber Black, Uber SUV, Uber Comfort, or Uber Reserve).
- 2 points per dollar spent on UberX Reserve rides.
- 2 points per dollar spent on Uber Eats when delivering to Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, or Element hotels. Orders are subject to a minimum charge of $40; both restaurant and grocery delivery orders qualify.
- 1 point per dollar spent on all other Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders of $40 or more (orders not delivered to the above Marriott brands).
Other Ways to Earn Marriott Points
Looking for other ways to top off your Marriott account? The good news is that Marriott is a transfer partner of a slew of bank and airline loyalty programs. The bad news: The modest value of Marriott points (around 0.94¢ per point) mean the transfer rates aren't ideal.
You can also earn a slew of Marriott points by signing up for a Marriott credit card. Several cards are currently offering a valuable welcome offer:
(Terms Apply)
- 6X points on purchases at Marriott Properties
- 3X points at restaurants worldwide, including takeout and delivery
- 3X points on flights booked directly with airlines

Our Take
It's nice to see Marriott offering bonus points for activities many travelers use anyway — like ordering a ride with Uber. This promotion is offering 1,500 points for the first time you link your Marriott and Uber accounts, and for once, doesn't require that you complete a ride to earn the bonus points. While 1,500 points isn't much, every little bit counts.
Several hotel and airline rewards programs have teamed up with rideshare and food delivery apps. For example, you can choose between several types of points and miles for your Lyft rides. So make sure you're using the right one to maximize your earnings.
