Heads up, road warriors! United MileagePlus and Lyft have teamed up, meaning you can now snag United miles every time you hail a ride. All you have to do is link your United and Lyft accounts and opt-in to the program. You'll earn 1 to 4 miles per dollar spent, depending on the type of ride you choose.
Why should you care? Well, if you're already using Lyft regularly, this is essentially free miles! These miles can be used for award flights, upgrades, and more with United and their Star Alliance partners.
So, next time you're heading to the airport or just zipping around town, remember to link those accounts and rack up those United miles effortlessly. Every little bit helps in getting you closer to your next dream vacation!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
