✈️ Earn Delta SkyMiles with Uber
Once linked, you’ll earn Delta miles based on your Uber activity:
Uber Service | Miles Earned Per Dollar | Estimated Rebate (1.2¢/mile) |
---|---|---|
Uber Reserve | 3 miles | 3.6% |
Uber XL, SUV, Comfort, Black, Black SUV | 2 miles | 2.4% |
UberX to/from the airport | 1 mile | 1.2% |
Uber Eats (orders $40+) | 1 mile | 1.2% |
💡 Delta SkyMiles are valued at roughly 1.2 cents per mile, making this a solid rebate if you frequently ride or dine with Uber.
🏨 Earn Marriott Bonvoy Points with Uber
Prefer hotel rewards instead? Choose Marriott Bonvoy and earn:
Uber Service | Points Earned Per Dollar | Estimated Rebate (0.6¢/point) |
---|---|---|
Uber XL, SUV, Comfort, Black, Black SUV | 3 points | 1.8% |
Uber Reserve | 2 points | 1.2% |
Uber Eats ($40+ delivered to select hotels) | 2 points | 1.2% |
Uber Eats ($40+ orders, general) | 1 point | 0.6% |
Eligible hotel deliveries include:
-
Residence Inn
-
TownePlace Suites
-
Element Hotels
💡 Marriott points are generally worth about 0.6 cents each, so the value is lower unless you’re targeting specific redemption sweet spots.
