It’s not your typical two-in-one promo. Imagine getting a Netflix subscription for two, but you only pay for one. Couldn’t resist this? Even Lyft and DoorDash couldn’t.
The two companies and apps recently teamed-up to offer a plan that gives you two subscriptions, but you only need to pay for one.
Late last week, on Thursday, Lyft announced the Lyft Go program with a DashPass subscription, wherein you will earn eight-percent back in credits that you can use towards your next Lyft ride or DoorDash order. So, if you’re craving for Taco Bell burritos all-day, then this is your chance.
Lyft Go is Lyft’s monthly membership program that replaces Lyft Pink in the USA, offering credits back on rides, and coming in two tiers. One is Lyft Go with DashPass, the promo reported in this news, and the other is Lyft Go Core.
Meanwhile, DashPass is a subscription service from DoorDash that gives you waived delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders from restaurants, grocery stores, and retail shops.
The Lyft Go with DashPass includes DashPass, of course, the $10 monthly subscription of DoorDash. So, that means getting perks not only on ridesharing, but also on food deliveries.
Making the most of this promo
Similarly, through this promo, Lyft is committed to lift the issues associated with their programs. Lyft Go allows three, yes, three trip cancellations per month, and the unlimited use of the Lost Item Fee Waiver in case you left something behind in the car. But, the trip cancellations is what RSF loves, since most of the time, passengers are charged more when they cancel trips.
Plus, if you opt-in to Lyft’s Round-Up and Donate feature, Lyft is to match 100 percent of your charitable donation.
And, since Lyft Go and DashPass is $10 monthly, you will basically get DashPass and Lyt Go for one price. Yes, that’s the Universal Selling Point.
Also, through the Lyft Go Core, a lower-tier monthly subscription costing $5 per month, you can earn five-percent instead of eight-percent in credits, and the donation matching and three ride cancellations are still present, though this does not include DashPass.
The downsides
However, the RSF team noticed that this deal has downsides that might discourage you from giving this a go.
First, it appears you cannot earn credits through the DoorDash orders, then redeem these with Lyft. Not possible. Plus, credits expire after 60 days.
Also, when you cancel your Lyft Go subscription, the credits may also expire sooner and become unavailable. So, either you see for yourself, or skip this.
The subscriptions are also limited in the USA. So, when you earn credits within your free trial, you might want to utilize them before the trial expires if you are considering canceling before your card is charged.
Should you be willing to push through, this promo is now available via the Lyft app across the country, and a one-month free trial is available.
If you already have a DashPass subscription, simply link your account with Lyft to have your Lyft Go with DashPass without the extra cost.
Should you have Lyft Pink, note that you will be automatically transitioned to Lyft Go with DashPass without paying for anything. Take note, too, that Lyft Pink All-Access and Lyft Business Travel Rewards aren’t changing.
