Delta frequent fliers can now earn miles by using Lyft

By
May 17, 2017

Delta Air Lines is partnering with ride-hailing service Lyft to allow its frequent fliers to earn miles by taking Lyft rides.

To earn the miles, Delta frequent fliers must link their Lyft account with their SkyMiles account through a website at deltalyft.com.

The partnership allows SkyMiles members to earn 1 mile per dollar spent on Lyft rides and 3 miles per dollar spent on Lyft airport rides.

New Lyft users who sign up through the Delta partnership can also get a $20 ride credit.

To learn more about why Delta struck a deal with Lyft instead of Uber, and how the airline aims to attract millennials, read the full story on MyAJC.com.
