New Lyft and United Partnership
Lyft riders within the United States can now earn airline miles every time they book an eligible ride through a new collaboration with United Airlines.
Lyft riders who are also members of United’s loyalty program, MileagePlus, can now link their accounts within the Lyft app, and earn:
- 4X miles for every dollar spent on pre-scheduled rides to and from the airport;
- 3X miles for every dollar spent on Extra Comfort, Lyft Black, and Black SUV rides; and non-scheduled rides to and from the airport;
- 2X miles for every dollar spent on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides with your company business profile; and
- 1X mile for every dollar spent on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides.
There’s also a bonus for new riders. You can receive 1,000 bonus miles after signing up for Lyft, linking your MileagePlus account, selecting “United MileagePlus” as their rewards partner, and completing two rides within 30 days.
In early 2026, MileagePlus members will be able to redeem miles directly for rides through the Lyft app and will receive automated flight alerts and ride reminders for United travelers.
