Thank you for this post.
Currently, I have LYFT attached to my AMEX. I will change that to my World Elite MC, now.
Interesting. This is basically a $10 monthly credit for Lyft on a World Elite Mastercard Citi Prestige, so $120 a year, which reduces the effective annual fee on the Citi Prestige from $245 to $125. Citi Prestige also offers 3x on Lyft. Seems like this is a solid card to combine with the Amex Platinum for any heavy user of Uber/Lyft.
Just an FYI, the American Airlines Aviator Silver (the no fee one), is an World Elite Mastercard. I downgraded my Aviator Red a few months ago to this card to avoid the annual fee.
Sorry, I meant the AA Aviator card, not the Silver. Although I think the Silver may be a World Elite as well. I just added my AA Aviator card to my Lyft profile and it worked.
Lucky,a bit off topic, but it seems Jet Airways is now suspending all flight operations.
Has anyone confirmed if the United Presidential Plus (it does say "World Elite" on the front) is part of this promotion, particularly Lyft?
This starts July 1, 2019 - It is NOT effective immediately - Please read the press release again
Anthony: Citi Prestige doesn't offer 3x on travel/transportation? 5x dining + air travel, and 3x hotels?
@ Mark Elkins -- Unless I'm missing something, the above benefits kick in effective immediately, while other perks (which I don't reference in this post, but will cover in a separate post) kick in July 1, 2019. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@Lucky, you do have to register for the Lyft benefit in the app. Make sure your app is updated, and you should see the option to do it in the app. Or, you can go to this link if you're on a mobile device: lyft://enroll_reward_program?reward_program=1
n - You are right, the Citi travel credit applies to all travel, but the 3x does not. My mistake
Can't stack "Party" free delivery deals with $5 off. You'll get $5 off at most, not free delivery AND $5 off.
As a heads up, I got an email from Lyft that I get a $5 personal credit after taking 5 "business" rides with Lyft. I setup a business profile awhile back when they had another offer. Anyway, not sure if this is monthly or if this stacks but that would be great if this does..
@ Ben -- The $10/mo Lyft credit credit DOES require registration. Your incorrect info likely just cost me $10. I'll email my address to you for a $10 check.
