Chase and Lyft have increased points-earning for paying for Lyft Rides with a Southwest credit card.
- Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card (See rates and fees) and Southwest® Rapid Rewards® Performance Business Credit Card (See rates and fees) earn 5x total points per dollar spent on Lyft rides.
- Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card (See rates and fees), Premier Credit Card, Southwest® Rapid Rewards® Premier Business Credit Card (See rates and fees), and Plus Business Credit Card earn 3x total points per dollar spent on Lyft rides.
This is advertised as being through From now through December 2027, which tells us how long the contract lasts (it could be extended).
Chase Sapphire Reserve® (See rates and fees) earns 5x on Lyft rides, which is still the best (since Chase points transfer to Southwest or a number of other places) but spending on the Southwest card is valuable for those chasing a Companion Pass.
Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card (See rates and fees) also earn 5x total points on Lyft rides. This is advertised as being through September 2027.
I like earning 5x with Lyft, noting especially that this stacks with crediting Lyft rides to their other partnerships – Hilton, Alaska, Bilt, and United. Link your preferred loyalty program account and earn with them, too. That’s separate from your payment card.
What’s more, I get Lyft upgrades and discounts by linking my DoorDash DashPass account which I got covered via Chase.
And I stack that earning with ThanksAgain, whose points can be redeemed for gift cards or transferred to JetBlue. In other words, I love Lyft because of all of the ways that I earn rewards.
So, plannin’ to finally burn this $500 CSR $75K credit… thinkin’ MDW or STL… see new Presidential Library, or Gateway Arch… any recommendations?
@1990: Southwest recently started flying to St. Thomas. Then take a ferry to the BVI.
If you buy a gift card from Lyft direct and charge the purchase to your SW credit card, do u earn the 5x points for each gift card dollar purchased?
