Our Verdict

Interesting to see Amex team up with Lyft being that they also have partnerships with Uber on their Platinum cards. Maybe it’s a sign that American Express will issue the new Lyft credit card? Certainly an improved offer for new members. A lot of people may already have signup up for the card or might have been converted from the Delta SkyMiles Options card and thus won’t be eligible for this bonus.
