World and World Elite Mastercard®

We're excited to partner with Mastercard® to offer World and World Elite Mastercard cardholders an exclusive benefit.
Both World Mastercard and World Elite Mastercard cardholders can earn a $5 ride credit when they take at least three rides in a month. Citi® AAdvantage® Executive Mastercard® cardholders can earn a $10 ride credit when they take three rides in a month.
To earn the $5 or $10 ride credit:
  1. Take three rides in the same calendar month (e.g., January)
  2. Take all three rides using your personal profile
  3. Pay for those rides using your World Mastercard, World Elite Mastercard, or Citi® AAdvantage® Executive Mastercard®.
Note: All three rides taken within the month must be paid for with a Citi® AAdvantage® Executive Mastercard® to earn the $10 credit.
We'll automatically add the ride credit to the 'Rewards' tab in your app.

  2. Add the same card to Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  3. Take a ride and pay for it using Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Rides won’t qualify for this benefit if you pay for them using Venmo Cash App, or Paypal, even if you're using the same card on that account.
You can use Apple Pay to pay for qualifying rides, but Apple Cards aren’t eligible.
Tracking your progress
To earn the $5 or $10 Lyft credit, you have to take all three rides in the same calendar month (e.g., January).
You can track your progress toward your ride credit after you add your World or World Elite Mastercard® in your app.
To check your progress, open your app and tap 'Rewards.'
The progress tracker will reset on the first day of each month. Rides from the previous month don't carry over.

Additional requirements
Payment
In order for a ride to count, you need to pay for at least part of the ride using your qualifying World or World Elite Mastercard. Your card must be issued in the US to qualify. The ride won't count unless the payment succeeds. If a ride credit or gift card covers part of a ride, the ride still counts as long as you paid for some of it with your card. This doesn't include tips, which don't count toward this benefit.
Qualifying rides
All Lyft rides on your personal profile count toward this benefit.
The following don’t count toward this benefit:
  1. Rides taken on your business profile.
  2. Bikes.
  3. Scooters.
  4. Gift cards.
  5. Memberships.
