熟悉SPG的朋友都清楚，坐Uber同時也是可以攢一點點SPG分的，雖然數量不多，但蒼蠅腿也是肉啊。可惜這點小羊毛也快要沒有了：SPG和Uber已經正式決定今年12月17日起終止合作關係，從那之後乘坐Uber將無法再積累SPG積分。以下截取Flyertalk論壇的SPG專員發帖：
Since 2015 SPG® has partnered with Uber to offer members the opportunity to earn Starpoints® for rides, and we wanted to provide advance notice that this partnership is scheduled to come to an end on December 17, 2017.
Members don』t need to take any action, Starpoints earned to date with Uber will not be affected and can still be earned through 11:59pm EST on December 17, 2017.
We’ve added a wiki with some anticipated FAQ’s, but as always, please let us know if we can help answer any other questions.
Best regards,

Frequently Asked Questions
When will members stop earning Starpoints on their Uber rides?
Members who have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year will continue to earn Starpoints on Uber rides up until 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits.
If members have a stay that overlaps with the program end date, will they still earn 2 Starpoints per US$1 spent on Uber rides taken during the stay?
Yes, members who check-in for a Stay prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017 and have an Uber pick-up time prior to 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, subject to applicable limits, will earn 2 Starpoints for every U.S. dollar or its foreign equivalent denomination spent for fares on the Uber ride(s). Any rides taken after 11:59PM on December 17, 2017, even if taken during a stay that originated on or prior to December 17, 2017, will not earn Starpoints on the Uber ride(s). To earn Starpoints for any Uber ride the member must have met all of the requirements to earn Starpoints in accordance with the SPG-Uber benefits program, including, without limitation, having a Stay posted to their SPG Member account for the current calendar year.
Why did I recently have a delay in my Starpoints posting for my Uber rides?
An issue was identified affecting Uber rides over the last month that delayed the posting of points to member accounts. We have since fixed this issue and members should receive all ride credits within the stated 2-4 week period.
根據帖子描述，12月17日之前的Uber行程都可以獲得SPG積分，12月17日之前就Checkin的入住打Uber也可以正常獲得2倍積分。在此之後所有的Uber行程都將無法獲取SPG積分。
鑒於萬豪收購SPG的合併還未完成（尤其是會員計劃），因此任何一點風吹草動都可能帶來很多遐想：有人覺得這可能意識著SPG計劃在短期內就要完蛋了，但我個人認為沒有這麼快，首先是之前萬豪高管已經說過預測要18年底才能完成合併，其次是我們也沒收到任何SPG計劃要完蛋的官方聲明，如此大一個計劃肯定會提前好幾個月就通知變化的。考慮到最近Uber和Barclaycard開始合作發行聯名卡，有可能因為這一層關係才決定結束和SPG的關係（兩邊畢竟都要花錢）。SPG這邊還有EK/MU/DL的合作關係，不清楚萬豪會不會繼承下來（但是萬豪目前和UA還是好基友關係）。另外，雖然和Uber快分手了，SPG完全也可以去勾搭Lyft啊（純瞎猜）。
