Starting today, November 5, 2025, you'll earn United MileagePlus Miles on Lyft rides at the following rates:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 1 mile per $1 on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides.<\/li>\n
- 2 miles per $1 on Standard, Priority Pickup, and XL rides with your company business profile.<\/li>\n
- 3 miles per $1 on Extra Comfort, Lyft Black, Black SUV, and on-demand airport rides.<\/li>\n
- 4 miles per $1 on scheduled airport rides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Although 1 mile per $1 on standard rides isn't much to write home about, the ability to earn 4 miles per $1 on scheduled airport rides is fantastic. Note the more important word in that sentence, though \u2014 scheduled. If you want to earn the most on your airport trips, you'll need to plan in advance.<\/p>\n

Credit: Lyft<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n If you aren't already a Lyft rider, you'll earn 1,000 bonus miles when you sign up for Lyft, link your MileagePlus account, and take two rides within 30 days. This is a great way to earn some extra miles ahead of your next award redemption.<\/p>\n

In early 2026, you'll be able to use your MileagePlus miles to pay for Lyft rides in the app. Although we don't know the exact cost yet, we typically don't recommend using your miles in this way. It almost always devalues your miles compared to what you could get for a flight. Launching at the same time are automatic flight alerts and ride reminders for United passengers.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n
More opportunities to earn points and miles are always beneficial. Travelers have several ways to earn points and miles on Lyft rides<\/a> — including Hilton Honors, Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards, and Bilt Rewards<\/a>. With the addition of United as a partner, you have even more options to earn rewards on your rides.<\/p>\n
