So, whether you’re catching a flight or treating yourself for a comfortable ride, simply lke that, each dollar you spend brings you closer to your next Alaska Airlines redemption.
“This enhancement builds on our successful partnership that began in November 2022, when we first joined forces to help travelers earn Alaska miles on their everyday rides. What started as a simple way to bridge rewards earned on everyday rideshare with air travel has evolved into one of the most comprehensive rideshare-airline partnerships in the industry,” Lyft indicated in their official statement.
Since the launch of this partnership, it has resonated unbelievably with travelers who appreciate the seamless integration between their rideshare and air travel rewards. The capability to earn miles when riding across USA and Puerto Rico, as well as across Canada, has made each trip via Lyft a “step toward future travel adventures.”
“These enhanced benefits reflect our commitment to making every trip more valuable for our riders. Whether you’re a business traveler rushing to catch a flight, a family celebrating a special occasion with premium service, or anyone who values comfort and convenience, these enhanced earnings recognize that your transportation choices matter,” Lyft added.
Meanwhile, to give you context on the thrice multiplier on airport rides, it only means acknowledging that these trips are part of bigger travel experiences, wherein every mile earned gets you closer to your next adventure.
