If you haven’t linked your Marriott Bonvoy and Uber Rewards yet, you now have an incentive to do so.
Marriott Bonvoy has launched a limited-time offer to earn 1,000 bonus points if you join the 2 accounts and make your first qualifying transaction before March 20, 2022.
Let’s take a look at the offer in more detail.
Link Your Marriott Bonvoy & Uber Rewards Accounts for Bonus Bonvoy Points
First things first, you’ll need to have a Marriott Bonvoy membership and have an Uber account to be eligible for the promo.
Once you’re set-up, simply open up your Uber app (iOS, Android) or Uber Eats (iOS, Android) app. Make sure to have the most recent version of the app.
Next, head into your settings and look for the Marriott Bonvoy option. Hit that, then you’ll see an option to link accounts.
You’ll then be asked to sign in to your Marriott Bonvoy account with your email address or membership number. Once you’ve done that, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know your accounts have been linked.
All that’s left to do then is get riding or eating (or both).
Benefits of Linking Accounts

Granted, the bonus 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points isn’t a huge amount. However, if you’re a frequent Uber rider or a partial to an Uber Eats takeout, then you will be rewarded with lots of bonus Marriott Bonvoy points:
- Earn 6 points per dollar spent on Uber Eats orders that are delivered to a Marriott hotel that you’re staying at
- Earn 3 points per dollar spent on Uber journeys with Uber XL, Uber Black, Uber SUV, and Uber Comfort
- Earn 2 points per dollar spent on all other Uber Eats orders
Even if you’re not a frequent Uber Eats orderer or Uber rider, 1,000 free points is still worth the time it will take to make a couple of clicks and link your accounts.
The above only applies to those living in the U.S. and orders must be at least $25 to be eligible for the bonus points.
It’s also worth noting that bonus points will not be awarded for any amount spent on tips or taxes.
