The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    You can earn Starwood points when you use Uber if you have 1 completed Starwood stay in the current year.

    So many folks were curious if the 2 stays and 5 nights that you earn from the Starwood personal (Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express) or business (Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express) card counted towards the stay requirement.

    You Can Stay at Any Starwood Hotel Like the W New Orleans French Quarter in the Current Year to Earn Starwood Points When Using Uber
    View From the Wing reports that the credit for 2 stays you get by having the Starwood AMEX card will NOT count towards the requirement to earn points with Uber.

    What Qualifies as a Starwood Stay to Earn Points With Uber?

    Link:   Uber (a free ride up to $20 for new users)

    After you’ve linked your Starwood and Uber accounts, you can earn Starwood points when using Uber.  But you need 1 completed stay before your 1st Uber ride.

    Normally only paid stays count during promotions.  But Starwood is being generous and allowing folks to count award stays and Cash and Points stays too!

    This is great news!  So you can use Cash and Points at a Category 1 hotel like the Four Points by Sheraton Kansas City Airport.  And then be eligible to earn Starwood points on your next Uber ride!

    Cash and Points Stays at all Starwood Hotels Like the Four Points by Sheraton Kansas City Airport Count Towards the 1 Stay Requirement to Earn Starwood Points With Uber

    New to Uber? Up to $30 Free Uber Credit

    If you’re new to Uber, you can sign-up using my link and save $20!

    Or you can sign-up using promo code “SPGUBER” for an unspecified discount on your 1st ride if you are NOT a Starwood Gold or Platinum member.

    Starwood Gold and Platinum members new to Uber can save up to $30 signing-up using promo code “SPGUBERELITE”.

    Note:  You can only use 1 promo code.
    New Uber Users Who Are Starwood Gold and Platinum Members Get up to $30 Off When Using Promo Code “SPGUBERELITE”
    Bottom Line

    You can earn Starwood points on Uber rides if you’ve stayed at Starwood at least 1 time in the current year.

    The Starwood (personal) or (business) card gets you 2 stays and 5 nights each year, but those will NOT count towards the stay requirement.

    But amazing news!  Starwood stays paid with cash, points, and Cash and Points will count as a qualifying stay to earn points with Uber!

    Will this change your thoughts about linking your Starwood and Uber accounts?
