In 2023, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/bilt-rewards\/bilt-lyft-partnership\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Bilt launched a partnership with Lyft<\/a> letting members earn points on Lyft rides.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Bilt has taken the partnership a step further \u2014 making Lyft the first rideshare service where members can pay with Bilt Points.
