Don't bother looking on their site; codes only work in the app. Tap Menu, then Payment, and scroll down to “Add promo code” before booking. Just watch out: Lyft credits almost never apply to tips or airport surcharges, and they usually expire within a few days once you claim them.

Lyft doesn’t have its own points setup. Don't bother paying for Lyft Pink directly unless you ride constantly; just link a Chase Sapphire Reserve if you have one to get it free plus 10x points. Otherwise, sync your Delta or Hilton account in the app under "Rewards" to grab airline miles on your rides instead.

Lyft takes cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo, but prepaid cards rarely work right. They constantly decline or get hit with annoying authorization holds. Easiest workaround is routing your card through PayPal first, or just loading Lyft Cash directly. Also, if you have a Chase card, link that for the automatic bonus points.

You get roughly two minutes to cancel a ride for free once matched. Wait longer and they’ll hit you with a fee, usually around $5, but the app shows it before you confirm. If the driver isn't moving, dispute it under Ride History; automated support usually refunds it instantly. Gift cards are strictly non-refundable.
