Link Your Alaska Account to Lyft, Earn a $15 Ride Credit
Alaska Airlines’ partnership with Lyft isn’t new, but elevated offers for first-time account linkers come and go. If you’ve never linked your Atmos Rewards account to Lyft, you can do so by January 14, 2026, and receive a $15 Lyft ride credit for your next ride. It’s that simple.
Unlike past offers, you don’t even need to complete a ride to earn the bonus.
This linking bonus is available through January 14, 2026, and the ride credit must be used by January 31, 2026. If you’ve previously linked your accounts, you won’t be eligible for the credit, but you can still earn points on Lyft rides.
Earn up to 6X Atmos Rewards Points on Lyft Rides
Beyond the bonus, Atmos Rewards members can earn redeemable points on several types of Lyft rides. Members earn 2X points per $1 on everyday rides and 3X points per $1 on airport and elevated rides. Elevated rides include Extra Comfort, Black, and Black SUV.
Double points with Lyft Business Rewards
If you use Lyft for business travel, you’ll want to enroll in Lyft Business Rewards. This doubles your earnings on rides booked through your business profile, boosting your earnings to 4X points on everyday rides and 6X points on airport and elevated rides.
Better yet, this program is free to join.
Should You Earn Alaska Atmos Rewards Points on Lyft Rides?
All Lyft riders — both newly linked accounts and those who linked long ago — can earn up to 6X Alaska Atmos Rewards points on rides. To do so, set your Lyft earning preference to Alaska Atmos Rewards points in your Lyft account settings.
However, it's worth considering other ways to reward your Lyft spending in the long term. You can earn several types of airline or hotel points on Lyft rides, such as with United Airlines MileagePlus miles. You just have to choose the best option for your travel habits.
For example, Alaska fans might want to sign up for the Bilt Rewards program and link their Lyft account to Bilt instead. That's because you can earn up to 5X Points per dollar if Bilt is your primary Lyft earning partner. You can then transfer those points to Alaska Atmos Rewards (plus several other transfer partners) at a 1:1 ratio.

Our Take
We love Alaska Atmos Rewards points, and earning up to 6X points on Lyft rides is a great opportunity. If you haven’t already linked your accounts, do so by January 14, 2026, and you’ll receive a $15 Lyft ride credit. If you’ve never linked your accounts before, this promotion is well worth taking advantage of.
Just be sure to use the ride credit by January 31, 2026.
