Uber passengers can now earn one Starwood rewards point for each dollar they spend on a ride in a car found through the Uber app.

Big news for fans of Starwood hotels and users of Uber: You can now earn up to 4 Starwood points per dollar spent with Uber! Here's how:

First, you must connect your Uber and Starwood accounts here. Just so you know, your email and last name must match on both accounts!

Next, to begin earning, you must stay on a paid rate at any Starwood hotel worldwide. This means no award stays and no stays or nights given to you as a benefit to having the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex.

After you meet those requirements, all you have to do is Uber! You'll earn 1 Starpoint per dollar regularly, and then 2 points per dollar when you're staying at a Starwood hotel (3 for Gold and Platinum members, 4 for Platinums who stay 75 nights or more each year).

The better news is that this is stackable with previous promotions with Amex (and Chase Ultimate Rewards' categories). Link any Membership Rewards earning Amex card, and you'll earn 2 points per dollar spent. And, if you have a Chase Ultimate Rewards card that earns double points on travel (like the Chase Sapphire Preferred card), you'll earn 2 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent!

All in all, this is a big win for travelers loyal to Starwood.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
