You’re hopefully already using a rewards credit card<\/a> to earn points or miles when paying for Lyft rides. However, you can earn even more points or miles on your rides by utilizing one of Lyft’s many partnerships with other loyalty programs.<\/p>\n

Delta and Lyft recently ended their partnership, so you can no longer earn SkyMiles on Lyft rides<\/a>. But, as you’ll learn in this article, there are still plenty of options to earn extra rewards on Lyft rides. Here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

The DoorDash partnership gives DashPass members 5% off standard rides and 10% off scheduled rides to the airport on up to four rides per month. Plus, DashPass members can enjoy two Priority Pickup upgrades per month. However, as Lyft’s DoorDash partnership<\/a> doesn’t let you earn any additional rewards on rides, we won’t discuss it further in this article.<\/p>\n

We’ll dedicate a section of this article to each loyalty program (Alaska Airlines, Bilt and Hilton) through which you can earn extra points or miles on select rides; we’ll also discuss the Chase and Mastercard partnerships near the end of this article.<\/p>\n

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan<\/h2>\n

Alaska Mileage Plan and Lyft became partners<\/a> in November 2022.

Linking your Lyft and Alaska accounts takes just a few taps. Go to the partnership website<\/a>, select “Link your accounts” and follow the prompts. Once you’ve linked your accounts, select Alaska as your preferred travel partner by opening the Lyft app, tapping “Rewards” in the menu, scrolling to the “Travel Rewards” section, tapping “Select a partner” and selecting “Alaska Mileage Plan.”<\/p>\n
