Link up and start earning extra by Augusta Stone, Credit cards writer We all know the basic ways to earn points and miles: Stay at a hotel, book a flight or earn the welcome bonus on a new credit card. But there are lots of other ways you could be beefing up your points balances. In fact, the simple step of linking your rewards accounts to several popular apps can give you a steady trickle of extra points without any extra spending! Why would anyone want to leave all of those free points on the table? Here are some accounts you should be linking to earn extra with these popular programs: Delta Air Lines SkyMiles Uber: Earn 1 to 3 miles per dollar spent, depending on the type of ride or Uber Eats order. Hertz: Book directly with Hertz, on delta.com/cars or through the Travel with Delta portal and earn 4 to 8 miles per dollar spent, depending on your Delta status. Starbucks: Earn miles when you load at least $25 into your account. Marriott Bonvoy Uber: Earn 1 to 3 points per dollar spent, depending on the type of ride or Uber Eats order. Starbucks: Earn 100 points when you make three qualifying purchases at Starbucks during Marriott Bonvoy Week. Bilt Rewards Lyft: Earn 2 to 5 points per dollar spent, depending on the type of ride and whether you use your Bilt Mastercard® to pay for it. (Just remember you have to use your Bilt Mastercard at least five times each statement period to earn points with it.)
