NEWS & OFFERS: Uber changes Avios earning – 0 on most Uber X, new Marriott 5k promo and Eurostar sale

Uber changes Avios earning – 0 on most Uber X

Uber has been a really useful way to top up your Avios quickly, with Avios posting almost instantly. The amounts generally weren’t huge, with 1 Avios per £1 on nearly everything Uber, but it was still useful. Now, from 15 June 2026, how British Airways Club members collect Avios with Uber in the UK and the Republic of Ireland will change mainly for the worse.
 
The bad news is that you will earn nothing from normal Uber X or taxi trips. It will only count for airport trips or Reserve trips. 
 
The good news is that you will now collect Avios at a higher rate for rides booked in advance using Uber Reserve, trips to and from airports, and select train or premium rides. 
 
Here is what you will now earn:
  • Uber Reserve: 3 Avios per eligible £1/€1 spent
  • Airport Trips: 2 Avios per eligible £1/€1 spent
  • Select Premium Ride including XL, Exec, Lux, Comfort, and black cab trips: 2 Avios per eligible £1/€1 spent
  • Train Trips: 2 Avios per eligible £1 spent (includes Eurostar)

The details released so far don’t mention some existing Uber elements such Uber Boat, Lime bikes, flights and coach tickets. So, as yet, we don’t know what changes, if any, will happen to these.

 

New Marriott Bonvoy 5000 point promotion – targeted?

A new promotion has appeared on my Marriott account, which I suspect is targeted, so it may be worth checking your promotions on your Bonvoy account.

The offer gives you up to 5000 for a minimum two-night stay. The number of points you earn depends on the brand that you stay at:

  •   1,000 bonus points: Element Hotels, Residence Inn, Marriott Executive Apartments, Protea Hotels by Marriott, Four Points Flex by Sheraton, Apartments by Marriott
  •  2,000 bonus points: AC Hotels by Marriott, Aloft Hotels, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn, Four Points by Sheraton, Moxy Hotels, citizenM
  •  5,000 bonus points: Autograph Collection, Delta Hotels, Le Meridien, Marriott Hotels, Renaissance Hotels, Sheraton, Tribute Portfolio, Westin.

Here are the key details:

  • Minimum stay length – 2 nights
  • Booking window: 1 June – 31 August 2026
  • Valid stay dates 15 June-7 September 2026
  • Countries included: Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
  • Must be a new reservation

 

Eurostar sale with 25% off

There’s 25% off one-way adult tickets in Eurostar Standard and Eurostar Plus to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam direct, or Amsterdam direct. There is no promo code, you can just book tickets now. Don’t forget you can collect 1 Avios per £1 spent on Eurostar tickets booked via the Uber app (2 Avios per £1 after 15 June).

The offer is valid for travel from London between 24 June and 23 September 2026.

You must book by the end of 8 June 2026.

You can find the sale page here.
