How To Maximize Miles, Points On Your Lyft Rides The Easy Way

Yes, not only could you gather up points from your credit card purchases to rake in miles, so you can either save more on your next trip or be in your favorite getaway for free, but also when you go Lyft, Lyft, Lyft! Here’s how you can maximize your Lyft points and miles the easy way.

With the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

Lyft currently has partnerships with the following programs:

  • Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
  • Bilt Rewards
  • Chase
  • DoorDash DashPass (yes, what a crossover!)
  • Hilton Honors
  • Mastercard

Now, with the linking of your Lyft and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan accounts, you must proceed to the partnership page, choose “Link your accounts,” then simply follow the prompts.

Once you’ve linked your accounts, choose Alaska as your preferred travel partner by tapping “Rewards” on your Lyft app, go to the “Travel Rewards” section, “ then choose “Select a partner” and “Alaska Mileage Plan.” Voila!

With Bilt Rewards

Bilt is best known for allowing you to rake in rewards while paying rent using a credit card, but it also offers rewards when you accumulate Bilt points.

To be eligible, follow these steps:

  • Use your Bilt card five times for each statement period to earn points.
  • Link your Bilt and Lyft accounts.
  • Launch your Bilt Rewards account, then go to navigate to the Neighborhood Benefits section.
  • Once in there, choose “Rideshare” and simply follow the prompts. Once you’ve linked your Bilt and Lyft accounts, launch the Lyft app. Now, Bilt Rewards should be selected as your preferred travel partner.

Hilton Honors

Almost the same steps should be followed to fulfill this partnership. After linking your Hilton Honors and Lyft accounts, choose “Hilton Honors” as your preferred travel partner. You will earn perks when you collect points from your Lyft rides.

However, note that you can only earn Hilton points on up to $10,000 of eligible Lyft spending each calendar year.

Linking your Lyft and Hilton Honors accounts requires you to proceed to the partnership page online, tap “Link your accounts” and follow through. After your accounts are linked, log into your Lyft account and make sure Hilton Honors is chosen as your preferred travel partner.

With DoorDash DashPass

Now, for the crossover. This partner offers DashPass members five percent off standard or regular rides, plus 10 percent off scheduled rides to the airport on up to four rides monthly. DashPass members could also enjoy two Priority Pickup upgrades on a monthly basis.

Let’s make you happy when you ride with Lyft.
