Sign-on promos

If you're new to Lyft, you may enter a sign-up code when you first apply. Only one promotional code can be used when applying to drive.

Sign-up codes must be added when you first sign up; they can't be added later on. Promos vary depending on the region and code used.

The app's ‘Earnings' tab is the easiest way to see your promo code requirements and check your progress.

If you qualify for and earn the bonus, you'll be paid 1-2 weeks after the promotion ends.



Qualifying for the bonus

You must meet the following requirements to qualify:
  • Add your codes when you sign up. It isn't possible to enter a sign-on code after signing up.
  • Be approved to drive in an eligible region offering the promotion.
  • Complete your first drive within the outlined days after starting your application.
  • After your first ride, complete the set number of rides within the timeframe provided in your offer.
  • Have an approved driving state/province that matches the state/province indicated in your application. Any change to the approved state/province will result in disqualification from receiving referral bonus/earnings guarantee bonus.
  • Meet the ride requirements shown in the Lyft Driver app.

If you meet all ride requirements within the applicable time period, the bonus will be applied to your account.

What is Lyft?

Lyft is a platform that connects drivers with individuals and organizations that need rides.

In addition to helping passengers get from A to B, in select markets drivers may also opt in to deliver essential items — such as groceries, medical supplies, and home necessities — to people who need them.

We know this is a challenging time, and as the COVID-19 crisis continues the well-being of Lyft drivers is our priority. Visit our site to learn what steps we’re taking to support drivers, and how we’re finding new opportunities for them to earn while helping their communities.
