Update: Shop Your Way just sent out an email confirming that the program is ending on May 31st. Points will continue to be valid for two months following issuance.
Original Post:
Reader Dev contacted Shop Your Way due to some missing points from an Uber ride and during that contact the representative informed them that this partnership would be ending on May 31st, 2019. At the moment this is unconfirmed, but it would be unusual for a rep to make up a specific date such as this up.
It will be interesting to see if Uber replaces SYW with another partner, especially with Lyft recently partnering with Hilton as well.
no more free food for my cat,
LMAO that’s the only need I found for Shop Your Way points too.
You must not have been looking too hard. Got a new toaster oven and outdoor grill myself (among other smaller items like LED lightbulbs and what-not). Definitely going to miss this little bonus…
Below is the term and condition on Shop Your Way page. Offer valid from 03/26/2019 – 05/31/2019:

*All linked members can earn $1 CASHBACK in points per Uber ride or Uber Eats order. Shop Your Way Members who are Uber Riders or Order Uber Eats can earn up to $20 CASHBACK in points each month through the following means: earn $1 CASHBACK in points per ride OR Uber Eats order, for a maximum of $20 CASHBACK in points each month. Each one month period begins on the first day of the calendar month and ends on the last day of the calendar month. However, for the initial period beginning with the rider’s first trip or Uber Eats order, the one month period begins on the date of enrollment rather than the first day of the month, and ends on the last day of the first FULL month after enrollment (for example, a rider who enrolls in the program on March 26 will have an initial period from 3/26 to 4/30).

Is anyone from Amex marketing listening? How about 200 MR / ride?
PEI is very good. $2 per $20 spent at uber and loyalty bonuses. Capped at $5/day.
That’s not bad. Personally I’d rather continue buying Uber gc and earn 5x UR uncapped, while stacking with something like SYWR did before. Which loyalty bonuses are you taking about, Uber or PEI? I’m Uber Plat.
I got ~$2500 back through this connection in replenishables over the last year and half. Toilet paper, wipes, potty pads… they’ve made it so hard to redeem the points now the program is pretty much useless. It was fun while it lasted (that random free $150 they gave me after the program went haywire for a month or so was nice too) but at this point good riddance…
Oh yeah definitely. I’ll definitely miss it.
It’s been one helluva ride.
Yeah, that May 31st did seem suspicious in the letter announcing rides were going down to $1 and thought it was probably the end. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/shop-your-way-rewards-uber-now-limited-to-20-per-month-1-per-ride/#comment-740548
I, too, am missing many points from rides recently.
Nooooooooooooooooooo
Goodbye free contact lens solution…
