Redeeming a gift card
When you choose to send a digital gift card to someone’s email address, we’ll email them a link that lets them apply the gift card to their account automatically. This email will also have a 16-digit gift card code, which they can enter in their Lyft app.
As a recipient, you can add a retailer gift card or a digital gift card code to your Lyft Cash balance by following these steps:
  1. Tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
  2. Tap the Gift card icon.*
  3. Enter the gift card code and PIN.
*If you don’t see the gift card icon, tap ‘Payment’ in the menu, then tap the Gift card icon.
Gift cards must be redeemed in the same currency they were purchased. Gift cards purchased in US Dollars (USD) can only be redeemed by recipients in the US. Gift cards purchased in Canadian Dollars (CAD) can only be redeemed by recipients in Canada.
Your gift card balance will show up under your Lyft Cash. If you have a gift card and promo codes, you can select which combo you want to use before a ride, or up to 24 hours after a ride in the ‘Rate & Pay’ screen.
A default payment method in the Lyft app is required, even when you’re using a gift card. Your default card will be charged for any tips, some fees, or any ride where the cost is more than your gift card balance. Back to top
View your gift card balance
After you’ve added your gift card to your Lyft Cash:

Your Lyft Cash balance will be at the top.
Lost or stolen cards
We can't replace Lyft gift cards if they're lost or stolen, but we’re here to help.
If an email was not sent to the recipient after the gift card was purchased, double-check all email folders (including spam and trash).
Note: Retailer gift cards can't be tracked or replaced if lost or stolen.
