From time to time, Hilton Honors members can enjoy a bonus after linking their Hilton account with Lyft and completing a task. Through September 3, 2024, Hilton Honors members can get 1,500 bonus points after linking accounts and completing five Lyft rides. Here are the details of this new offer.
Link Your Hilton Account With Lyft to Get Points on Rides
Hilton's partnership with Lyft goes way back, and throughout that relationship have been several promotions. Just last year, members could snag a $25 Lyft credit after completing a Hilton stay. This year, Hilton Honors members can get 1,500 bonus points after linking their accounts and completing five rides.
As usual, this is a very straightforward promotion. First, you need to link your Hilton and Lyft accounts. Then, in your Lyft dashboard, choose Hilton instead of Alaska, Delta, or Bilt as your preferred earning partner. Once your accounts are linked, complete five Lyft rides by September 3, 2024, and receive 1,500 bonus Hilton points.
Based on what AwardWallet users redeem Hilton points for, the 1,500-point bonus is worth about $9. That's not a massive bonus, but better than nothing. And it comes in addition to the 3X Hilton points you'll earn per $1 spent on Lyft rides.
Keep in mind this promotion is only available to Hilton Honors members who have not yet linked their account to Lyft. If you de-link and re-link your accounts for this promotion, you will not earn the bonus points.
Key terms
- Link your Hilton and Lyft accounts for the first time.
- Select Hilton as your preferred earning partner.
- Complete five (5) rides by September 3, 2024.
- Earn 1,500 bonus points.
- Members will receive the bonus points within 2 weeks of completing their last eligible ride.
- Bike and scooter rides do not qualify for this promotion. All other ride types are eligible.
Our Take
If you've never linked your Hilton and Lyft accounts, now is a good time. As long as you can complete five Lyft rides by September 3, you might as well earn 1,500 bonus points.
However, you're better off linking your Lyft account with Bilt to earn 5X points per dollar on Lyft rides. Hilton Honors only offers 3X points on Lyft rides, and Hilton points aren't worth as much as Bilt points. Plus, if you really want to use this opportunity to earn Hilton points, you'd earn more by crediting your rides to Bilt and then transferring your points to Hilton Honors. That's a 5X return instead of a 3X one. But you can always do that after completing your five rides for this promotion.
Whichever partner you link to Lyft, make sure you use the best credit card for travel purchases when booking your Lyft rides.
