Many ongoing users seem to be interested in this right after their first ride.

There is good and bad news about promo codes for existing users.

Below are a few options that include getting free rides with rideshare apps or even using your referral code with your friends.

Premium promo codes for Lyft are available for a limited time below.

Promo Codes for New & Existing Lyft Users in 2017

The bad news is that Lyft no longer offers promo codes for existing users.

However, the company occasionally provides promo codes to users who attend exclusive Lyft events.

These codes are often location-specific and expire after only a few days.

Good news, though.

The most practical way for a Lyft user to earn free ride credit is by using an Uber promo code for a free ride.

Alternatively, you may want to start utilizing the “Give A Ride, Get A Ride” program.

This program rewards existing users with free ride credits worth up to $20 just by referring family and friends to use the app.

More on that further down.

Don’t worry; it’s okay.

There are still ways you can save on your fare.

These easy and effective strategies will have you raking in Lyft referral credit if you put in a little bit of time and effort.

Best Lyft Codes for Existing Users in 2017

How may you ask?

We have some ideas!

Well, Lyft has partnered with various retailers to offer great deals to its loyal followers.

We’ll discuss several of these ideas below, so try as many as you like.

Two of the deals you should look into are the Lyft + Starbucks rewards and the Lyft Pioneer programs.

Lyft + Starbucks Rewards

Buy your ride credit or gift someone special a free ride worth $20 from a participating Starbucks store anywhere in the country before 9th November and earn stars.

These stars are used to use to pick up free food and drinks as well as to qualify for weekday rides.

Simply buy the Lyft + Starbucks gift card from a participating Starbucks store and redeem it via the Lyft app to earn 5 stars to start.

If you’re a new user, you actually earn 125 stars to start!

You can use this card to pick up the free drinks and food.

Note that the Lyft + Starbucks gift card is a one-time use gift card valued at $20.

You can only redeem it through the Lyft app.

The best part is that if the entire $20 value is not used up in one ride, the balance will be rolled over to the next ride.

Note that the gift card cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.

Lyft Pioneer Program

Lyft sometimes offers an incentive to new users with free rides for up to two weeks, for rides worth up to $25 each.

Say what?

This exclusive honor is for new users only in select markets.

Only select passengers get to receive the free rides credit or a fixed number of free rides.

Lyft typically offers these discounts when entering a new market.

To receive the credit, qualifying members just need to download the Lyft app and set up an account.

They will automatically add the credits to the account.

Sweet, huh?

Once the free ride credits are added to the user’s account, they can be used to pay for rides anywhere the company operates.

However, you cannot use free credits to tip the driver.

Convenient Alternatives to the Lyft Promotion Code

It may be difficult, almost improbable, to get free ride Lyft promo codes for existing users, but this does not mean you cannot enjoy a free ride courtesy of the competition.

Tell me more.

Lyft’s formidable competitor, Uber, also offers a very attractive incentive to new users.

Any new user can and should take advantage of this.

Zipcar is also a great ride sharing service that offers something even more unique.

Uber Promo Codes for Existing Lyft Users in 2017

Uber’s new user promo code offer is a lot like Lyft’s except that they give you $15 worth of free ride credit compared to Lyft’s $50.

Still, Uber is the most popular ridesharing company and it operates in a broader market than Lyft.

If you have already used up your first free Lyft ride, you should sign up for an Uber account.

You can download their app then enter a new user promo code to get free ride credits deposited to your account.

Most people who use Lyft also use Uber.

If you’d like to check out Uber as a new user, check out the promo codes below to get your ride credit.

All promotions are verified and current for 2017:

Promo Codes Credit Amount Expiration Date
FLY One ride up to $15 06/01/2017
RIDENEWS One ride up to $15 08/01/2017
CLASSY One ride up to $15 04/15/2017
RIDEAPPS One ride up to $15 02/01/2017
SOAR One ride up to $15 06/05/2017
RIDESHARE One ride up to $15 09/30/2017

Uber Promo Codes for Existing Lyft Users 2017 List

*Note:  With any type of promo code, credit, or discount, we recommend using it within 14 days to ensure it doesn’t expire.

Zipcar

Unlike Lyft and Uber which offer on-demand rides and charge a fare, Zipcar is a car service that lets you pick a parked car and drive yourself to your destination then return the car to where you found it.

This is a great service for when you need a ride for an extended period e.g. several hours or days.

Zipcar offers convenient rental options at hourly and daily rates.

It’s similar to rideshare, but you’re the driver instead of the passenger.

Sign up and try Zipcar the next time you need a ride and be a driver rather than a passenger.

You can also enjoy discounted first time rates meant to incentivize new users.

After Using Your First Lyft Discount

Already used your first discount?

Hungry for more?

There are some hacks & methods in which you can get more credit.

Read on to learn more.

Refer a Friend

The best way to continue earning credit to pay your Lyft fare is to keep inviting your friends, family, and colleagues to sign up for the service through the ‘Give A Ride, Get A Ride’ promo on the app.

Every existing user has a referral code that you can give out to your friends and family.

When they download the app, sign up for an account, and enter your referral code, they get to take their first free ride.

When they do, you get a free credit worth up to $20.

Here are some excellent suggestions on how to rack up a good amount of Lyft referral credit from just a few simple steps daily:

  1. Promote your code with an attention-getting picture and post it to all of your personal social media sites.   The key is to make the status updates sound like it’s coming from you and not some advertisement.  Tell a story about your first Lyft ride and how it helped you out.  Encourage your friend to not drink and drive by using your referral code.
  2. Send out a mass text message on Friday night around 5 pm when your friends and family are getting done with work; this can have a huge impact.  First off, it’s Friday night, and everyone is looking for something to do.  Secondly, it sure makes it easier to make your plans when you know that Lyft has your ride covered.
  3. Get some free business cards from vistaprint.com and put your promo code on it and hand them out to everyone you interact with throughout the day.  The cashier at the store, barber, teacher, classmates, doctor, anybody.  Just hand them a card with the Lyft promo code, and you’re all set.  Sit back and watch the Lyft coupon code do the work for you.

This referral works in New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C., San Diego, and many other big cities.

Where Can You Find Your Lyft Referral Code?

To see your Lyft referral code, log into your account on Lyft.com then navigate to the Referral Portal.

This page will show your Lyft invite code.

Click on the code to open it in a new tab and copy to clipboard.

You can share the link with your contacts via email, on social media platforms and even text message.

Alternatively, print out the referral code on a card and hand them to the people you know to get a free ride credit when they sign up and use it.

Riding w/ a New User

Ride for free when you take a ride with a friend who has not used Lyft before.

How?

All you need to do is refer him/her to the service if they have never signed up for an account or installed the Lyft app on their device.

When they download the app and sign up for an account, ask them to use your promo code and use the free ride credits to pay for your ride.

With this simple trick, the two of you can enjoy a smooth ride from point A to B without spending a cent.

Lyft Promo Code for Existing Users Q&A

Lyft Promo Code for Existing Users Q&A

Is my first Uber ride free?

There are various valid Uber promo codes for new users to get $15 off of their first ride, which can equal a free ride.  Simply use credit code FLY within the Uber app to apply the promotion.  We will continuously update this page as new codes become available.  Remember, these discount codes are only valid for your first ride as a new user.

How many free rides do you get with Lyft?

The most common current promotion is the Lyft promo code  valid for $50 in free ride credit.  This credit varies by location, but it can be used over the course of more than one ride in many instances.

How do I use my Lyft credit?

You can enter a Lyft free ride code in the ‘Promos’ section of the rideshare app.

  1. Tap on your profile picture to open the menu (top left corner).
  2. Enter  in the ‘Add Promo Code’ field.
  3. Click ‘Apply.’

Do you have to tip Lyft?

Lyft allows tipping through the app at the end of a ride, although they do not require it.  Tipping is anonymous from the drivers’ standpoints, so you don’t need to worry about feeling pressured.  Their competition, Uber, doesn’t even give the option, so Lyft definitely has this competitive advantage in regards to tipping drivers.
