SPG与Uber合作将于12月17日终止

　　熟悉SPG的朋友都清楚，坐Uber同时也是可以攒一点点SPG分的，虽然数量不多，但苍蝇腿也是肉啊。可惜这点小毛也快要没有了：SPG和Uber已经正式决定今年12月17日起终止合作关系，从那之后乘坐Uber将无法再积累SPG积分。以下截取某论坛的SPG专员发帖：

　　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.

　　根据帖子描述，12月17日之前的Uber行程都可以获得SPG积分，12月17日之前就Checkin的入住打Uber也可以正常获得2倍积分。在此之后所有的Uber行程都将无法获取SPG积分。

　　鉴于万豪收购SPG的合并还未完成（尤其是会员计划），因此任何一点风吹草动都可能带来很多遐想：有人觉得这可能意识着SPG计划在短期内就要完蛋了，但我个人认为没有这么快，首先是之前万豪高管已经说过预测要18年底才能完成合并，其次是我们也没收到任何SPG计划要完蛋的官方声明，如此大一个计划肯定会提前好几个月就通知变化的。考虑到最近Uber和Barclaycard开始合作发行联名卡，有可能因为这一层关系才决定结束和SPG的关系（两边毕竟都要花钱）。SPG这边还有EK/MU/DL的合作关系，不清楚万豪会不会继承下来（但是万豪目前和UA还是好积友关系）。另外，虽然和Uber快分手了，SPG完全也可以去勾搭Lyft啊（纯瞎猜）。
