As a Lyft driver, you can create and give out a code to refer passengers to Lyft. If people use your code when they sign up to be a Lyft rider, they may get Lyft credit, and you may earn a financial reward, too.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open the Lyft website. The easiest way to make a code is on the website, not the Lyft nor Lyft Driver apps.
  2. 2
    Log in to the Lyft website.
    • Click on the "Log in" button.
    • Use your phone number associated to your login account to log into Lyft.
    • Click the "Next" button to continue further.
    • Watch for a text message on your phone. This text message will contain a one-time use code that you'll use as a secure password for this login.
    • Enter it on the site.
    • After submitting the six digit password/passcode successfully, it'll log you into the site. If it doesn't auto-submit, click the "Next" button to continue.

  3. 3
    Click on the Passenger Referrals link in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  4. 4
    Enter your proposed custom code in the textbox underneath the "Create a Custom Referral Code" label.
  5. 5
    Click the "Create" button. If you see your code pop up in the customized codes list underneath this section, you've done it! Share the code with potential passengers.
  6. 6
    Look for a success message. Success messages are displayed as an all-caps "Code Created" button to the right of the "Create" button. If you get an all-caps "That code is taken already", realize that it's one of the codes you've created before and can't be recreated.
    • Also, after successful creation, you'll get a list of successful codes you've created below this with links to the shareable code that can be used for your social media streams under the heading "Your Invite History".
