Lyft Discount Gift Cards
How to use Lyft gift cards
Lyft gift cards are redeemed as credits in your Lyft account.
Open the Lyft app, tap your profile, then tap "Payment." Select "Add Lyft Gift Card" and enter the code from your Card Depot account. The balance is added as Lyft credits and applies automatically to your rides.
Credits work for all Lyft ride types including standard rides, Lyft XL, shared rides, and bike and scooter rentals in cities where available.

How to check your Lyft credit balance
Lyft does not have a balance lookup page. Check your balance in the Lyft app, where the card credits to your account. A backup payment method is required.
For other brands, our guide on how to check any gift card balance covers the steps for every major retailer.
Why Lyft gift cards save you money
If you use Lyft for commuting, airport runs, or going out, the costs add up. A few rides a week can easily hit $150-300 a month. Buying gift cards at a discount means every ride costs you less.
Check the current discount above and multiply by your monthly Lyft spending. Over a year, the savings are significant on something you're already spending on.
Stacking with Lyft promotions
Lyft frequently offers promo codes for discounted rides, especially for new users and during holidays. Gift card credits work alongside promo codes. The promo reduces the ride cost, and you pay the reduced amount with discounted credits. Double savings.
Lyft Pink membership offers 15% off rides and other perks. Gift card credits work on top of Pink member pricing.
Common questions
Do Lyft gift cards work for all ride types?
Yes. Standard, XL, shared, and bike/scooter rentals.
Do Lyft gift cards expire?
No. No expiration, no fees. Credits stay on your account. See our guide on whether gift cards expire.
Does the balance apply automatically?
Yes. Credits are used automatically for your rides.
Can I add multiple gift cards?
Yes. Each card adds to your total credit balance.
Can I get cash back for a Lyft gift card balance?
Usually gift cards are not redeemable for cash, but some states require it for small leftover balances. California, for example, requires retailers to cash out gift card balances under $10, and several other states have similar rules with different thresholds. Check your state law for the exact amount.
Lyft promo codes and coupons
Searching for Lyft promo codes? Codes are hit or miss, expire quickly, and often exclude what you actually want. A discounted Lyft gift card works differently: it gives you a guaranteed discount on every purchase, stacks on top of any sale or coupon you do find, and never expires. Check the current discount above, then apply the card at checkout.
