Marriott and Uber have a partnership, allowing Bonvoy members to earn points when spending with Uber and Uber Eats. If you haven’t yet participated in this collaboration, there’s an incentive to do so right now, and you don’t even have to make a purchase to unlock the offer.
New members can earn up to 1,500 Bonvoy points
At the moment it’s possible to earn 1,500 Bonvoy points when you link your Uber app and your Marriott Bonvoy account. There’s no need to actually make a purchase to qualify for this. However, as you’d expect, there are some terms to be aware of:
- This is valid when you link your account between March 17 and March 31, 2026
- Accounts must be registered in the United States, and it must be a first time link between Marriott Bonvoy and Uber
- There’s no activity requirement for the 1,500 Bonvoy points, so you don’t even need to make a purchase with Uber or Uber Eats to earn bonus points
- However, the terms state that you need to keep both your Marriott and Uber accounts active for a minimum of six weeks after the offer period ends
- Bonus points will post within four to six weeks of the end of the promotion
Personally I value Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents each, so to me the 1,500 bonus points are worth $10.50. That’s not all that much to get excited about, but still, it’s better than nothing, especially since there’s no purchase required, and there’s value to participating in this partnership in general. Of course that assumes you haven’t yet linked accounts (which I imagine most OMAAT regulars have).
How the Marriott & Uber partnership works
With the Marriott Bonvoy and Uber partnership, you can earn 1-3x Bonvoy points per dollar spent with Uber, depending on the type of transaction:
- Earn 3x Bonvoy points on UberXL, Comfort, and Black rides; I value that at an incremental 2.1% return
- Earn 2x Bonvoy points on pre-scheduled UberX Reserve rides; I value that at an incremental 1.4% return
- Earn 2x Bonvoy points per dollar spent on Uber Eats restaurant and grocery deliveries to hotels operating under the Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, or Element brand; I value that at an incremental 1.4% return
- Earn 1x Bonvoy points on all other Uber Eats restaurant and grocery delivery purchases, with a minimum $40 basket; I value that at an incremental 0.7% return
On top of that, those with an Uber One membership automatically receive Marriott Bonvoy Silver status.

Bottom line
Through March 31, 2026, you can earn 1,500 Bonvoy bonus points when you download the Uber app and link your Marriott Bonvoy account, with no qualifying purchase required. If you’re eligible and haven’t yet linked your accounts, for whatever reason, this would be a worthwhile incentive to do so.
