Earn Starpoints For Uber Rides

Starwood really seems to be leading the way on the hotel front when it comes to creating new value-add partners with other travel providers.

In early 2013 Crossover Rewards was launched, whereby SPG and Delta members receive reciprocal points and benefits (though there are quite a few exclusions). On the airline front that was later extended to Emirates with the introduction of Your World Rewards. Starwood also has a partnership with Caesars in Las Vegas.

It looks like Starwood is leading the way in expanding this benefit to yet another aspect of the travel experience -- SPG members can now earn Starpoints for Uber rides!
