The new Lyft Go membership costs $9.99 a month or $96 a year, and DoorDash DashPass members get it at no added cost. The Chase Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve both include a free DashPass membership, so their cardholders get Lyft Go free by linking two apps. The membership pays 8% back in Lyft Credits on rides, up to $40 a month, and it replaced Lyft Pink on November 5, 2026.

The deal

  • Offer: a free Lyft Go membership for DoorDash DashPass members, worth $96 a year at Lyft’s annual price.
  • What Lyft Go includes: 8% back in Lyft Credits on eligible rides, capped at $40 a month, plus DashPass. The Lyft Go page also lists three relaxed cancellations a month and free lost-item returns.
  • Your free DashPass: the Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve each include DashPass when you activate it by December 31, 2029.
  • Where to claim it: in the DoorDash app. AwardWallet reports that existing DashPass members have to claim Lyft Go there, even with accounts already linked.
  • Dates: Lyft Go launched across the U.S. on November 5, 2026. Lyft hasn’t published an end date for the DashPass route.
  • Cost: $0 on top of the card’s annual fee.

Key terms

  • The free route: Lyft’s launch announcement says new and existing DashPass members “will be able to link their accounts” and get Lyft Go “at no added cost.”
  • Partner memberships: the Lyft Go terms say a free membership through a partner such as DashPass won’t turn into a paid one when it ends. Its benefits follow “the applicable offer,” so check the tier shown in the app.
  • What earns credits: the base fare only. Taxes, tolls, tips, fees, coupons and credits you apply to the ride don’t count, per Lyft’s FAQ.
  • Where credits work: on Lyft rides, and on DoorDash orders once DashPass is active on the linked account.
  • Lyft Pink members: Lyft moves you to Lyft Go at your current price at renewal. Lyft Pink All-Access keeps its old benefits.
  • Chase’s DashPass rule: the Sapphire Preferred membership runs “until December 31, 2029 or for 12 months, whichever is longer.” DashPass savings apply only when you pay with the card you activated it with.

How to claim it

  1. Add your Sapphire card to DoorDash and activate the complimentary DashPass from the payment screen.
  2. In the DoorDash app, find the Lyft Go offer and link your Lyft account.
  3. Open the Lyft app and confirm the membership hub shows Lyft Go with $0 due.
  4. If you already pay for Lyft Pink, cancel the paid plan in the Lyft app once the free one shows. Lyft says you can cancel before your renewal date.

Tip: Pay for your Lyft rides with the Sapphire card. Both cards earn 5X total points on Lyft rides through September 30, 2027, and that stacks with the Lyft Credits.

Our take

Link the accounts today if you hold either Sapphire card. It takes about five minutes and saves you $96 a year, or $119.88 if you’d have paid monthly.

The math works on modest use. Say you spend $150 a month on Lyft base fares. Lyft Go returns 8%, or $12 a month in credits. The Sapphire Preferred adds 5X, which is 750 Chase Ultimate Rewards points a month. At the 2.05 cents per point in our points valuations, that’s about $15. Together you’re getting back roughly $27 on $150, or 18%, before you count free DoorDash delivery.

The Reserve adds a third layer. Chase lists up to $10 a month in Lyft ride credits on that card through September 30, 2027, on top of the 5X. If you already keep the Reserve for its other credits, the free membership pays you back on rides you’d take anyway.

Skip this as a reason to open a card. A $96 membership only offsets the Preferred’s $95 annual fee if you’d pay for Lyft Go anyway, and the 8% credits expire 60 days after you earn them, according to AwardWallet. If you ride once a month, the membership is a small extra and no reason to apply. If you want a Sapphire card for travel, compare the two in our best travel credit cards guide first.
