Delta and Lyft partnership

Link your SkyMiles and Lyft accounts and earn miles on every Lyft ride. Earn 1 mile per $1 spent on Lyft rides. Beginning February 1, 2018, Lyft users who have Linked Accounts can earn 2 miles per $1 spent on airport rides (see terms and conditions).
New Lyft users are eligible to receive 50% off each of their first two rides. The discount is limited to up to $10 off per ride and must be used within 60 days of creating and linking your accounts through delta.com/lyft.
We’ll automatically add these credits to your account once you link your SkyMiles account.
Note: This partnership is only available in the US at this time. You must request and pay for the ride in order to get awarded points.

Earn Delta SkyMiles
After your Lyft and Delta accounts are linked, you'll earn one mile for every dollar spent on all available Lyft rideshare modes.
The Delta Miles you earn with Lyft won't expire. However, you won't be able to add miles retroactively (after you've taken them), even for rides taken right before you link accounts.
Lyft credits and gift cards don’t count towards SkyMiles. You can only earn points with one of Lyft’s travel partners at a time.
Sign up for Delta SkyMiles
If you don’t have a SkyMiles Account, create one at delta.com/skymiles.
Link your Delta SkyMiles and Lyft accounts
You’ll need to create a SkyMiles account in order to link it to your Lyft account. To link your accounts:
I already have a Lyft account
  1. Visit delta.com/Lyft to connect your Lyft account to Delta.
  2. Enter your SkyMiles account number and the first and last name on your SkyMiles account. Note: both names must match the names associated with your Lyft account.
  3. Double-check that your SkyMiles account number is correct, then tap 'Link Now.'
  4. Tap 'Continue with Lyft.'
  5. Enter the phone number associated with your Lyft account, then tap 'Log in.'
  6. Lyft will text you a verification code. Enter the code and tap 'Submit.'
  7. Read the permissions and tap 'Accept' on the 'Connect With Lyft' page.
If your Lyft account is linked to another partner, you'll have to confirm you want to earn Delta SkyMiles instead.
I’m new to Lyft
  1. Go to Delta.com/Lyft.
  2. To receive your discount, create an account by entering the first and last name associated with your SkyMiles account along with your SkyMiles account number.
  3. Before you tap 'Link Now,' double-check your SkyMiles account number is correctly entered.
  4. Tap 'Continue With Lyft.'
  5. Enter your phone number and requested info, then tap 'Sign Up.'
  6. Lyft will text you a verification code. Enter the code and tap 'Submit.'
  7. Enter your payment information, then tap 'Submit.'
  8. Read the permissions and tap 'Accept' on the 'Connect With Lyft' page. That's it!
See your earned miles
You can keep track of your Delta miles at delta.com/skymiles. The miles you earn typically show 24 to 48 hours after completing a qualifying ride. However, it may take up to 10 business days for miles to register in your SkyMiles account.
  1. Sign in to delta.com/skymiles.
  2. Enter your SkyMiles number and password, then tap 'Log In.'
  3. Tap your name in the top right corner followed by 'SkyMiles.'
  4. Tap 'My Account Activity.'
Disconnect your SkyMiles account
You can switch to another reward partner without removing your inactive reward partner’s access.
If you want to remove your Delta SkyMiles account, contact support here. Please include your Skymiles number and the first and last name on your Delta account.
Delta flight reminders
SkyMiles members that have linked their account with Lyft’s travel rewards program get flight notifications from Lyft.
You'll see your flight status in the Lyft app when you're on your way to the airport when:
  1. Your SkyMiles and Lyft accounts are linked
  2. You have confirmed your flight with Delta Airlines
  3. You request a Lyft ride to the airport
Note: Delta shares flight data with Lyft five days before your departure. For more information, please visit www.deltalyft.com. Back to top
