Lyft supercharges Alaska Airlines partnership with enhanced mileage rewards

Jul 17, 2025

Travel just got more rewarding for Alaska Airlines Mileage PlanTM members using Lyft. Starting July 17, we're more than doubling our partnership benefits to give riders even more value for every journey – whether you're heading to the airport, exploring a new city, or simply getting around town.

More Miles, More Ways to Earn

Our refreshed Alaska Airlines benefits represent a major upgrade from the current 1x mile per dollar offering. Beginning July 17, linked Alaska Mileage Plan riders can earn*:

  • 2x miles per $1 on all everyday Lyft rides including Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides

  • 3x miles per $1 when taking airport rides or choosing elevated modes like Extra Comfort, Black, or Black SUV

This enhanced earning structure means frequent travelers and those who prefer premium ride experiences can accumulate miles faster than ever before. Whether you're catching a flight or treating yourself to a more comfortable ride, every dollar spent brings you closer to your next Alaska Airlines redemption.

Building on a Strong Foundation

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.

Since launch, the partnership has resonated strongly with travelers who appreciate the seamless integration between their rideshare and air travel rewards. The ability to earn miles on rides throughout the U.S. (including Puerto Rico) and Canada has made every trip on the Lyft platform a step toward future travel adventures.

Serving and Connecting Communities

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.

The 3x multiplier on airport rides acknowledges that these trips are often part of larger travel experiences, where every mile earned gets you closer to your next adventure. And for premium rides, the enhanced earnings reflect the elevated service you choose.

Our partnership with Alaska Airlines exemplifies how strategic collaborations can create genuine value for customers. By partnering  Lyft's extensive ground network with Alaska's robust route system, we're making travel more rewarding and accessible across North America.

The enhanced benefits launching July 17th represent just the beginning of what's possible when transportation partners work together to serve travelers better.
