How it works
Multi-tier bonuses will vary depending on ride requirements and bonus payout by tier.
To earn one or more of the bonus tiers, follow these steps:
  1. Complete the specified number of rides before the end date.
  2. When you complete the ride requirement for each tier, you’ll see the bonus in your earnings.
  3. Earn more by hitting the ride requirement for the next tier within the time frame provided.
Before you begin
You'll need to enter a valid new driver promotion code in the 'Promo/Referral' code space when you start your application. It must be entered at the time of your application.
  1. If you clicked on a driver promotion from Facebook, Google, or any other marketing channel, the code should be automatically entered for you.
  2. If you don't enter a code when you start your application, you won't be eligible for the new driver promotion. The code cannot be added after signup.
Multi-tier bonus example
Here is an example of a multi-tier bonus for new drivers:
Example: Multi-tier bonus max of $200.
  1. Give a total of 25 rides for $50.
  2. Give an additional 25 rides for an extra $50 ($100 total).
  3. Give an additional 25 rides for an extra $50 ($150 total).
  4. Give an additional 25 rides for an extra $50 ($200 total).
For example, if you complete 25 rides, then you will receive a $50 bonus and unlock the next tier. After you complete another 25 rides you will get an additional $50. That will be a total of $100 and you will unlock your next tier.
Express Drive Electric Vehicle bonus
If you’re eligible for the Express Drive Multi-Tier Bonus, you'll see the details when you open your Driver app.

As you hit your ride goals, you can earn 3 different bonus tier amounts. If you complete rides for the 1st tier, you’ll see the bonus on your next weekly earnings summary. Complete the 2nd and 3rd tiers, and Lyft will add each tier bonus to your earnings.
