Conclusion
This card normally comes with only a 10,000 mile sign up bonus. Now you can do a little better, especially if you use Lyft. You get a $50 credit and 2X SkyMiles on Lyft rides for 6 months. Still not a great bonus, but if you were thinking of getting the card, now there’s one more reason ti do so. The card has no annual fee and also earns 2X Skymiles at US restaurants.
