United Airlines and Lyft are now buddies, meaning you can rack up United miles every time you hail a ride! You'll snag 1 mile per dollar on regular Lyft rides, but the real kicker is airport rides. Score 3 miles per dollar on those on-demand airport trips and fancy Extra Comfort/Lyft Black/Black SUV rides. Planning ahead? Scheduled airport rides earn a sweet 4 miles per dollar!
Why should you care? Well, if you're a United loyalist, this is free miles for something you're likely already doing. Plus, the article hints at stacking possibilities. You might be able to use your Chase Sapphire Reserve's Lyft credit and 5x points perk on top of earning United miles. And don't forget to check for Chase Offers or Amex Offers for even more potential savings or rewards! DashPass users, keep an eye out for discounts, too. It's all about maximizing those rewards!
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.
