Uber's New Deal With Starwood Gives Passengers Hotel Points For Rides

A new partnership between Starwood Hotels and Uber could get you Starwood loyalty points for taking an Uber ride. Uber passengers can now earn one Starwood rewards point for each dollar they spend on a ride in a car found through the company's mobile app. Guests spending the night at one of Starwood's 1,200 hotels will earn two to four points for each dollar spent. This is the first global deal where ground transportation passengers can earn hotel points for trips. This new Uber partnership is exclusive to Starwood. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The hotel company, known for its Sheraton, Westin and W brands, already has similar partnerships with Delta Air Lines and Emirate Airline.
