Lyft and United have just launched a new partnership that will allow you to earn up to 4x United MileagePlus miles on your Lyft rides.

Here are all of the details of the new partnership so you can start taking advantage of it on any upcoming rides you have.

Lyft users who are also members of the United MileagePlus loyalty program can link their accounts within the Lyft app and earn:

4x miles on pre-scheduled rides to and from the airport
3x miles on Extra Comfort, Lyft Black, and Black SUV rides; and non-scheduled rides to and from the airport
2x miles on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides with your company business profile

Additionally, if you’re a new Lyft rider, you can receive 1,000 bonus miles after signing up for Lyft, linking your United MileagePlus account, selecting “United MileagePlus” as your rewards partner, and completing 2 rides within 30 days.

Further, in early 2026, United MileagePlus members will be able to redeem MileagePlus miles directly for rides through the Lyft app and will receive automated flight alerts and ride reminders.

Other Lyft Reward Options

Lyft’s new partnership with United adds to a growing list of eligible partners where you can earn additional rewards on your Lyft rides, including Alaska Atmos Rewards, Bilt Rewards, and Hilton Honors.

Here is a quick comparison to help you choose the best rewards partner for you.

Program	Rewards on Lyft Rides
Alaska Atmos	3x points on airport rides, Extra Comfort, and Black 2x points on Standard and XL rides
Bilt Rewards	2x points on all US rides
Hilton Honors	3x points all rides
United MileagePlus	4x miles on pre-scheduled rides to and from the airport 3x miles on Extra Comfort, Lyft Black, and Black SUV rides; and non-scheduled rides to and from the airport 2x miles on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides with your company business profile 1x miles on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides

From a value perspective, most award travelers would likely be better off selecting Bilt as their Lyft partner, since the rewards are transferable and the Bilt program includes Alaska, Hilton, and United as 1:1 transfer partners.

That said, if you’re committed to earning points or miles within a specific program, having additional options to do so is great. Remember that you can switch what rewards you earn on your Lyft rides at any time through the app as well.

Final Thoughts

The new United partnership with Lyft adds another great partner that allows you to earn more rewards on all of your Lyft rides.

This partnership is now live, so if you’d like to start earning United miles on all your Lyft rides, simply head to the Lyft app to link your accounts and begin earning.
