  1. Log into lyft.com from a web browser
  2. Click “Driver Referrals” on the left menu
  3. From there, enter your friends' email addresses to send them invites. When they click your link, they'll be go through the application process.
  4. That's it! Your code will be applied to their account, and you'll be able to earn any bonuses that apply.
1-2 weeks after the requirements are met:

  • Use the referring driver’s code in the “Promo/Referral code” field when applying
  • Complete the specified number of rides within the timeframe stated in the offer as an active Lyft driver. No more than two rides given to the same passenger will count toward the ride requirement.
