Unlock Lyft Rewards Elite status by May 31 to get 1500 bonus points.*
Now every ride is more rewarding
Introducing the new Lyft Rewards. You’ll earn points on every ride, no matter when you drive. Redeem them for cash, car services, and more.
Bigger, better rewards
Bigger, better rewards
Now you’ll get one point for every dollar you earn, including tips. The higher your acceptance rate, the more points per dollar you can earn.1
Points are the key to unlocking higher tiers. When you unlock tiers, you'll get access to the exclusive perks you already know and love.
If you have tier status when the month ends, your tier points will convert into shop points. You can redeem them for rewards like car washes and gift cards.
