Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and Uber announced a new strategic partnership that will give Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) members who ride with Uber the opportunity to earn coveted Starpoints during any Uber ride, anywhere worldwide.  
“This new partnership with Uber accelerates our SPG members’ drive to rewards and is just one more way that Starwood is combining high tech and high touch to transform their travel experiences,” said Adam Aron, CEO, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “It is especially satisfying for us at Starwood to be partnering with a cutting edge and innovative pioneer like Uber. It is truly impressive to see how Uber has revolutionized transportation for the better.”
Now earning Starpoints is as easy as requesting an Uber. After linking existing SPG and Uber accounts at spg.com/uber and completing one qualifying stay in the calendar year at any Starwood hotel worldwide, SPG members using Uber can simply sit back and enjoy the ride—during their stay or every day—while watching their points rack up.  
All SPG members will earn one Starpoint for every $1 spent on Uber rides — with bonus earning awarded while in-stay. The global partnership is available in every market where Uber operates, including throughout the United States, China, Brazil, and across Europe. The Peninsula
