Is A Lyft Pink Membership Worth It?

@lucky
I agree with your analysis. however, if we factor in the GrubHub membership,which in most major IS cities is as good as door dash and Uber eats. You are paying the same $10 a month and getting all the Lyft benefits in Lyft pink for basically free.

Does that make it a better deal?

@ Talha -- That's an excellent point, I should have called that out more explicitly. I updated the post to reflect that. I think at this point many of us have so many of these food delivery memberships that it can be hard to keep track. But indeed, that could in and of itself justify the fee.

I just went into my account this morning and was able to go from a monthly Lyft Pink membership to yearly at a Black Friday special price of $49.50. They also refunded a prorated $9.99 that I just spent for the monthly plan. Pretty amazing deal imo, especially for someone with Amex gold who uses Grubhub and benefits from that and the $10 credit.

@Lucky, do you know what happens to the Lyft Pink membership if you downgrade or cancel the Reserve? Am I correct in assuming that somewhere in the terms it'll say that the Lyft membership will be canceled?

"Lyft Pink is only available in the United States"

I tried to sign up from Canada and couldn't.

Lucky - my view is similar to yours. I immediately added it since “free” with my CSR but set a reminder in my calendar to cancel before I have to pay. Also have Grubhub+ through next July w Amazon Prime and hope I can add the Lift Pink year after that. Hard to justify the expenditure based on benefits of Lyft Pink but no downside if free

I had the Lyft Pink a few years back, though didn't use it much due to Covid traveling less. Is it a one time benefit, and then gone forever after the first sign-up? Thank you.

Meant to add, the Pink sign up was a Chase sapphire reserve signup. Thanks.

Today I received an (possibly targeted?) email offering Lyft Pink annual membership for half price ($49.50). Personally, I still don't see any value in it.

Here because I got an offer for Lyft Pink for $50 for an annual subscription. After reviewing the benefits, I discovered Lyft Pink isn't for me. I'd only use it for rides making the other perks pointless. Based on previous Lyft rides, I'd need to average 5 rides per month to break even. I don't so this is a soft pass for me.

Not worth it with the current state of Lyft Support. It’s all bots with zero recourse possible to a human. As a FF based in Miami, forgiveness for only 3 cancellations a month isn’t enough when nearly every arrival to MIA is met with a scamming driver.

I was loyal to Lyft for years, but they don’t care about scam drivers anymore. I’m forgoing the point earning bonuses to use Uber instead. They’ve actually refunded me for every scam driver I’ve had recently

Added Lyft Pink pass to help with cost so I could get to work. The first time using it I about had a heart attack when I saw the prices for my 10-15 minute trip! It’s ridiculous! Your NOT saving anything joining Lyft Pink. App wanted to change me $45-$55 for a 10-15 minute ride. That’s highway robbery! I immediately canceled Lyft pink. If I wanted to wait an hour for a car it would cost $13. I would NOT recommend signing up for Lyft pink.

I have to use Lyft a lot because I can’t drive because of nisi problem but I try to get the cheapest ride a possible big tennis on the senior. I don’t ride bikes I don’t use the XL. I don’t use their premium services. I don’t use scooters and I don’t use GrubHub because I’m on a health diet, so it would be a waste of time and money for me for the average person. Even if you spend maybe 15 rides a month it’s still not gonna save me any money because I need to get the cheapest rides I can to get to all my doctors appointments and things like that and get around town , so I even do the ones where I have to wait longer just to get a lift rather than take XL or premium because even if the other faster there also more expensive, so saving money means a lot to me on the services that I actually would use and most of the services I won’t use . they would come up with a separate program for seniors where they could use a little pink blue or whatever the color they want to call it so that we could get some discounts for using Lyft often enough a month and make it worth it that would be fine because seniors don’t ride those bikes and we don’t use our scooters and a lot of us are getting to where we’re very health conscious and want to live longer so we don’t call GrubHub while we’re sitting on her butt because I will do is get cholesterol building up in our guts and our class and our arteries and we usually cook and prepare her own meals at home to save money and most of us are unlimited income so if they had a senior program it would fit a different age group for us to make it worth us, saving some money since we travel and lift a lot it would be nice .

Take too long and you can’t see who they are or their license

So I can't drive and use lyft to get to work. I will say, if you regularly need to use it and must consistently be on time, lyft gives priority matching to lyft pink members. So, in that case, get it it's worth it. If that's not your situation, don't bother.

Its not worth it. They manipulate the price. We did a comparison , my lyft pink quote vs someone without lyft pink and somehow mine was more expensive even with the "discount". When i reached out to Lyft customer service to explain to them, they said if I think I can save more money without a membership then I can cancel. I had paid for the annual membership so I requested them to cancel it and refund me the remaining months. They said they can't issue me a refund. So basically they don't care and know exactly what they're doing.

They may be raising prices to offer a "discount," but it's hard to draw conclusions from just 2 users d/t dynamic pricing. My wife and got Uber quotes a few minutes apart, neither has any discount sub, hers was $19, mine was $23, so we took her Uber. I think we'll keep comparison shopping!
