Lyft to Limit Points-Earning Partners to One
Lyft currently offers two ways to link your Lyft account to a loyalty program and earn bonus points on your rides.
Linked to Delta SkyMiles, you earn 2 miles per $1 spend on airport rides; 1 mile per dollar otherwise.
Linked to Hilton Honors, you earn 3 points per $1 spent on Lyft rides.
Today, they sent an email stating that come June 30th, you either have to choose one or the other – or they’ll do it for you (using whichever you linked first).
You’ll need to go into your app and find the “Rewards” tab in the top left nav menu.
So which partner to choose?
I value Delta SkyMiles at 1.2 cents and Hilton Honors at 0.5 cents.
So, ignoring airport rides, I a get 1.2% rebate on spend with Delta as the partner, or 1.5% with Hilton.
However, for airport rides, you are getting 2.4% with Delta.
You can change anytime, so if you really want to optimize, you could pick Hilton for most of the time and Delta for airport rides.
