Introducing the New Lyft Rewards Program
On August 1, we’re rolling out improvements to the Lyft Rewards program based on your feedback.
Here’s what to expect:
Simplified requirements to qualify — just meet three goals and you’re in.
You’ll earn points on every ride, no matter when you drive.
Points unlock tiers and the exclusive perks you already know and love.
What’s new
You told us that qualifying for Lyft Rewards is confusing, with too many things to keep track of. And it’s frustrating to only earn points during busy hours. So we’ve made big improvements to address that feedback.
Qualifying is simple
We’re getting rid of driving scores and complicated requirements. Now all you have to do is meet and maintain three goals including rating, cancellation rate, and safety flags. So once you're in, you can focus on giving great rides and earning points.
Earn points on every ride
Now you’ll earn points for every ride — no matter when you drive. Get one point for every dollar you earn, including tips (but not bonuses).
Unlock tiers and exclusive perks
Points are the key to unlocking higher tiers. You can track your point progress throughout the qualifying period right in your Driver app.
When you unlock tiers, you'll get access to the exclusive perks you already know and love. And you can see how much you’re earning or saving with each perk.
“Getting points no matter what time of day, that’s fantastic news.”

Frequently asked questions
What's a qualifying period?
Qualifying periods begin on the first day of each month, and end on the last day of each month. During this time, you can earn points to unlock tiers. At the beginning of each qualifying period, your points reset to zero.
What happens if I no longer meet all three goals for rating and stats?
If you fall below any of the program goals, you’ll enter into a seven day grace period. During the grace period, you’ll still have access to your tier benefits. If you improve your rating and stats during the grace period, you’ll keep access to the program and your current tier. If you don't meet all three goals when the grace period ends, you’ll lose access to the program until you meet the goals again.
Are there terms and conditions for Lyft Rewards?
Yes, the Lyft Driver Rewards program is subject to Lyft Terms of Service and Lyft Driver Rewards Terms and Conditions. The program can be modified or terminated by Lyft at any time.
