In May 2019, Hilton and Lyft launched a partnership. Its always great when ride sharing apps develop relationships with other travel providers. Its a natural connection, given that frequent travelers probably use ride sharing apps more than the average person.

I've been making a killing with this for a long time: sign up for the Chase Lyft benefit (10x UR points); link the HHonors account with Lyft account; make CSR the default card for Lyft rides; earn 10x UR points and 3x HH points on every Lyft ride.
Ben, I'm confused with your math when comparing Delta SkyMiles and Hilton Honors Points:
3x HH Points per US$1 spent on Lyft @ 0.5 cent per HH Point;
That's 3x 0.5 cent = 1.5 cents per US$1 spent on Lyft
2x SkyMile per US$1 spent on Lyft @1.1 cent per SkyMiles
That's 2x 1.1 cent = 2.2 cents per US$1 spent on Lyft
So how does HH having a better deal than Delta SkyMiles???
@Ben - "Personally I value Delta SkyMiles at 1.1 cents each, so I consider the Hilton Honors partnership to be a better deal."
Uh... can't you have the best of both worlds by switching between Hilton and Delta, depending on the ride type? IIRC, you posted about it (or perhaps some other blogger did), too. As long as you switch before the ride, it should stick.
Airport rides - use Delta
Non-airport, non-shared rides - use Hilton
Non-airport shared rides - use either
Yes I have my Amex Hilton Honors Surpass linked to my Lyft account. But I’m taking whichever is cheaper Uber/Lyft. Both platforms tend to fluctuate in prices so it’s always wise to open up both apps before ordering a ride although most of the time prices will be on par.
