Overview
- Lyft and United introduced Pay with Miles, a feature that lets MileagePlus members redeem airline miles inside the Lyft app for eligible rides.
- Members must link their Lyft and United accounts, then choose miles at checkout, preview the miles to be used, and get a receipt that shows the redemption; they can also split the fare with a card if miles do not cover the total.
- New Lyft riders who link a MileagePlus account and complete two rides within 30 days receive 1,000 bonus miles.
- The option applies to most ride types, including everyday, airport, and premium rides, while bikes and scooters are not eligible.
- The rollout extends a November 2025 partnership that already awards up to 4 miles per dollar on pre-scheduled airport rides, with lower earn rates on premium, business-profile, and standard trips.
