DashPass Lyft Partnership FAQs

Q. What is the Lyft & DashPass Partnership?
All active US DashPass members (including Puerto Rico) can link their Lyft account to their DoorDash account to get free Lyft Go ($9.99/mo value) and earn 8% credits back in Lyft Credits (up to $40/mo), redeemable on either Lyft rides or DoorDash orders. Lyft Credits expire after 60 days or upon cancellation of your paid membership. 

Q. DashPass and Lyft Go come together, two memberships, all for $9.99 a month. Whichever one you subscribe to, the other is included at no additional cost:

• Already a DashPass member? Lyft Go is included with your membership. Claim Lyft Go to start earning Lyft Credits

• Subscribed to Lyft Go through Lyft? A DashPass membership is included. Claim DashPass to start saving on orders

Q. How do I activate my Lyft benefit with DashPass? 
Link your account and claim Lyft Go to begin earning. 

If you’ve already linked your account prior to November 5, your existing Lyft x DashPass discounts stay available in the US through November 12, 2026. To get the new benefit, you’ll need to link your DoorDash and Lyft accounts here. You'll need to opt in even if your Lyft and DoorDash accounts are already linked. 

Q. What is Lyft Go?
Lyft Go is Lyft's new membership program. It comes in two tiers – Lyft Go is $9.99/mo and is included with DashPass:

Q. How do Lyft Credits work?

• You earn 8% back in Lyft Credits on eligible rides, up to $40 per month thanks to your DashPass membership. The 8% is calculated on your base fare. It doesn't include taxes, tolls, tips, fees, LyftUp donations, coupons, or any Lyft Credits you applied to that ride.

• Apply your earned Lyft Credits to a DoorDash order or a Lyft ride , whichever you prefer. Select Lyft Credits as your payment method when you checkout on DoorDash or request a ride on Lyft. If you have credits expiring soon, those apply first.

• Lyft Credits expire 60 days after you earn them. You can see your credit history in the Lyft app. 

Q. How do I apply my Lyft Credits at checkout?
Select your Lyft Credits at checkout whenever you'd like to apply them to your order or ride

• On DoorDash: At checkout, select Lyft Credits as your payment method. Your available balance applies to the order.

• On Lyft: When you request a ride, select Lyft Credits as your payment method.

When you redeem Lyft Credits earned under this program, the credits earned earliest are used first, so those closest to expiration are applied first.

Q. Why aren’t my Lyft Credits appearing at checkout?
To see Lyft Credits at checkout, you must have:

• Linked your Lyft and DoorDash accounts

• Have an active DashPass membership or Lyft Go

• If you are a paying DashPass member, claimed Lyft Go

• Taken a Lyft ride after the above actions and be within 60 days of the ride as credits expire 60 days after earning

If you’ve done the above, see below: 

• Confirm you finished claiming Lyft Go, including the confirmation step in the Lyft app, see here.

• Confirm your Lyft and DoorDash accounts are still linked and your memberships are active at www.doordash.com/lyft.

• Check your Lyft Credits balance in the DoorDash or Lyft app. Lyft Credits expire 60 days after you earn them, and rides taken on a Lyft Business profile don’t earn Lyft Credits.

If your balance is there but won’t apply, contact DoorDash Support. For questions about Lyft Credits you earned on a ride, contact Lyft Customer Support.

Q. Who is eligible for a free trial for Lyft Go?

• Riders who haven't had Lyft Go, Lyft Pink, or DashPass before may be eligible for a one-month free trial of Lyft Go. Eligible riders will see the offer in the Lyft app. When the trial ends, your membership renews at the then current price for Lyft Go, unless you cancel in the Lyft app first.

• DoorDash may also offer a free trial for users who have not previously tried DashPass (whether on a free or paid plan). Once your trial is over, you will be automatically enrolled in the membership plan you selected at sign-up, at the then current price and a saved payment method in your DoorDash account will be charged. Your membership will auto-renew on your membership billing date until you cancel before the next billing date. DoorDash may change the eligibility requirements for a free DashPass trial at any time without notice. See DashPass terms here and cancellation instructions here.

Q. I pay for both DashPass and Lyft Pink today. Will I be charged twice?
If you’re on Lyft Pink, you’ll be automatically migrated to Lyft Go. To avoid paying for both, cancel your paid Lyft Go subscription through Lyft. After cancellation, you can return to activate the complimentary Lyft Go benefit available through DashPass here. 

Q. What happens if I cancel DashPass or Lyft Go?
The two memberships are connected, so canceling one suspends the other's benefit and you’ll lose access to your earned credits:

• Cancel DashPass and your Lyft Go benefit is suspended. 

• Cancel Lyft Go and your DashPass benefit is suspended

If you resubscribe, you'll need to claim the benefit again here. 

Q. What happens if I pause DashPass or Lyft Go?
The two memberships are connected, so pausing one suspends the other's benefit. Your credits will remain unaffected and will continue to expire 60 days from when you earned them.

• Pause DashPass and your Lyft Go benefit is suspended. 

• Pause Lyft Go and your DashPass benefit is suspended

If you unpause, you'll need to claim the benefit again here. 

Q. What happens to my Lyft Credits if I cancel Lyft Go or DashPass?
When you cancel, you will lose all your earned credits immediately. 

Any other Lyft Credits or Lyft Cash you've earned outside this program aren't affected. Note Lyft Cash cannot be used on DoorDash. 

Q. What happens if I unlink and / or relink my Lyft and DoorDash accounts?

• DashPass subscribers: 

  • If you subscribe to DashPass and unlink your DoorDash and Lyft accounts, 

    • You will lose your Lyft Go benefit

    • You cannot use your Lyft Credits on either platform until you relink your accounts. 

  • Once you relink and reclaim your Lyft Go benefit, any unexpired Lyft Credits can be used on DoorDash and Lyft again. Credits continue to expire 60 days after they are earned; unlinking does not pause or extend this period, and relinking does not restore expired credits.

• Lyft Go subscribers: 

  • If you subscribe to Lyft Go and unlink your DoorDash and Lyft accounts,

    • You will lose your DashPass benefit

    • You can continue earning and using your Lyft Credits on Lyft, but not on DoorDash. 

  • Once you relink and reclaim your DashPass benefit, any unexpired Lyft Credits can also be used on DoorDash again. Credits continue to expire 60 days after they are earned; unlinking does not pause or extend this period, and relinking does not restore expired credits.

You can unlink and/or relink your accounts here.

Q. Which rides are eligible to earn Lyft Credits?
Personal Lyft rides earn credits, including bikes and scooters, with the exception of: 

• Wait & Save rides,

• Shared ride modes,

• Lyft Business rides, or

• Bike and scooter rides in Boston and Washington, D.C.

Q. Which orders can Lyft Credits be spent on DoorDash? 
Lyft Credits can be used on all DoorDash orders with exception of orders that include any prescription deliveries, gift cards, and group orders. 

Q. Why don’t I see the Lyft benefit in my DoorDash app?
The Lyft benefit appears in your DoorDash account only after you link your Lyft account and claim Lyft Go. If you don’t see it:

• Confirm your DashPass membership is active here. The Lyft Credits benefit is a DashPass benefit, so it isn’t available on a canceled or paused membership and you must be located in US to be eligible for this benefit.

• Confirm your Lyft and DoorDash accounts are linked. You can link them at doordash.com/lyft.

• Confirm you finished claiming Lyft Go here, including the confirmation step in the Lyft app. Linking on its own does not activate the benefit.

• Update to the latest version of the DoorDash app.

If it still isn’t there, contact DoorDash Support.

Q. Why don’t I see the DashPass benefit in my Lyft app?
Your DashPass membership has to be claimed before it appears in the Lyft app. Claim it from the Lyft Go membership hub in the Lyft app, or at doordash.com/lyft. If you already claimed it and still don’t see it, confirm your Lyft Go membership is active and your accounts are linked, then update to the latest version of the Lyft app. For anything about the Lyft app or your Lyft Go membership, contact Lyft Customer Support.

Q. Have other questions about Lyft Go?

For any other questions about your DashPass account or the linking process, contact DoorDash Support.
