Here at RewardSmart, we're always on the lookout for simple ways to maximize your rewards. Marriott Bonvoy members, listen up! If you haven't already linked your Bonvoy account with Uber, now's the perfect time to do so. You can snag a free 1,500 Marriott Bonvoy points simply by connecting your accounts – no rides or Uber Eats orders necessary.

How to Claim Your Free Points:

The process is straightforward:

  1. Head to the Marriott Bonvoy website or app. Look for the Uber partnership information, usually found under the "Partners" or "Earn Points" section.
  2. Link Your Accounts: Follow the prompts to connect your Marriott Bonvoy and Uber accounts. You'll need your Uber login credentials handy.
  3. Enjoy Your Bonus: The 1,500 Bonvoy points should appear in your account within a few days. Keep an eye on your activity statement to confirm.

Maximizing Rewards with Uber and Your Credit Card:

Once your accounts are linked, remember that you can earn Bonvoy points on eligible Uber and Uber Eats spending. The earn rate varies depending on your Bonvoy status and the type of Uber service you use. But the real rewards potential comes when you strategically use the right credit card.

  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: Earn 3x points on travel and dining, making it an excellent choice for Uber rides and Uber Eats orders. Transfer those points to Marriott for even greater value.
  • American Express Gold Card: This card earns 4x Membership Rewards points at U.S. restaurants, perfect for maximizing Uber Eats orders. Again, consider transferring to Bonvoy if it makes sense for your redemption goals.
  • Capital One Savor Rewards Credit Card: Earn 4% cash back on dining and entertainment, including Uber Eats. A simple cash-back option that can offset the cost of your orders.

Before making a purchase, always check RewardSmart to see which of your cards offers the best return for that specific category. Small tweaks to your payment method can lead to significant savings over time.
