After teaming up with JetBlue last year to allow Lyft passengers to earn airline miles on their way to the airport, the ride-hailing service is jumping into a new partnership with Delta Air Lines that will give riders airline miles whenever they take a trip.
Lyft announced the new initiative today, saying the partnership will “make your travel more rewarding.”
After linking their SkyMiles and Lyft accounts, riders will earn 1 mile for every $1 spent on rides (excluding taxes, tolls, and tip).
Heading to the airport for that Delta flight will be even more productive, with riders earning three miles for every $1 spent on rides to or from qualifying airports until Aug. 31, 2017.
New Lyft users will also earn a $20 credit good for $10 off the first two rides when they download the app and link it to their SkyMiles account.
