NEW: Earn Hilton Honors points with Lyft rides

You can now earn Hilton Honors points on Lyft rides.

If you find yourself in the US needing to get somewhere, Lyft may appeal to you. The company has not expanded quite as aggressively as Uber but it remains the second largest ride-hailing company in North America.

In an unusual but not unwelcome move, Hilton and Lyft have decided to join forces. The partnership allows Hilton Honors members to earn points on their Lyft rides, and appears to be a long-term program. 

You will earn 3 points per $1 spent on Lyft rides and 2 points per $1 on Lyft shared rides, up to a maximum $10,000 of Lyft spend annually.  Later this year you will also be able to redeem Hilton Honors points for Lyft credit.  Points will arrive in your Hilton Honors account within 24 hours.

To make use of this offer, you must link your accounts on the special partnership site here.  Once connected the process is automatic and points should start appearing in your Hilton Honors account.

If you are new to Lyft, you will receive $5 off your first three rides if you sign up via this Hilton page.  Do NOT sign up immediately, however, as the credit must be used within 30 days of signing up and linking your accounts.

The offer is valid only for Lyft rides taken in the US and Canada.
