Using your gift card

Open the Lyft app, tap the menu, select Payment, then Add Lyft Cash, and choose Gift Card. Enter the 16-digit code and tap Redeem. The funds are added to your Lyft Cash and used automatically on future rides. A default payment method in the app is required even when using gift card credit.

Lyft Cash can be used for rideshare rides, Lyft bikes and scooters, and eligible Lyft services in the app. It cannot be transferred to another user or used to pay for Lyft Pink subscriptions directly. See how to use your Lyft card
