Lyft has sent out an e-mail to anybody who added these codes stating:
It looks like you entered one or more ride codes posted by a third party deal site: SAFEROADS17, LYFTSONBUD17, STAYSAFE17, BUDCARES17, PLANAHEAD17
These codes are not valid. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused.
To claim future ride codes worth up to $20 in credit, head to Budweiser’s Facebook and Instagram page every Thursday at 2 PM EST through the end of the year.
Ride on.
Was worth a try, time to move onto the next deal. We will try to post the codes when they go live, but I wouldn’t rely on us getting them out before they expire.
[Update: added another $20 code. Total of $100 now.]
The Offer
Beginning Thursday, Sept. 21, through the end of the year, Budweiser is providing up to 10,000 round-trip rides every weekend across nine states: New York, Colorado, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas, Georgia; plus Washington, D.C.
Budweiser will share a unique ride code on its Facebook and Instagram channels each Thursday at 2 p.m. ET, which new and existing Lyft users over the age of 21 can use to claim a $20 ride credit (two $10 one-way rides) through the Lyft app. The credits can be redeemed for rides taken between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m. local time that Thursday, Friday or Saturday night.

Thus far, we have the codes for four of the weekends, we’ll add any more that we find. You can enter the code now to save it for use during the stated dates.
The Fine Print
- Limited time only and while supplies last
- Discount does not apply to tips and any tips are the responsibility of the Lyft user
- Must be 21
- Pickup OR drop-off must be within coverage area
Our Verdict
Definitely worth saving the promo now if you might have use for it as these codes are limited to 10,000 and go fast. Let us know if you find any more codes and we’ll add them in and repost.
I contacted them and they gave me two $10 Lyfts to compensate
Thanks for the data point! What did you say in your message?
So glad they caught on to this before they released these already leaked codes. That would’ve caused some bad publicity, not having any codes left for people that check every Thursday. The one weekend I was planning to use this I could not use a leaked code for so this is great news.
Uber has been sending me 50% through the weekend last weekend and this weekend. I thought they were doing it to compete with these codes.. Check your mailbox, you likely hav the offer
Can you take a screenshot for me?
How are the promo codes not valid if they applied? Guess Lyft plans to release news of their promotion servers being hacked to accept these codes?
Saw on Reddit & confirmed on my account too- they’ve deleted the promos. Some people will get a nasty little $10-20 surprise in the future. Hope they get nailed on social media for this.
Ok, Lyft answered, without I reaching them of course! I just suggest DOC to share the facebook/twitter links next tie
Whoops.

Ride on.
I got the same email, and all the promos that were successfully entered are gone on my app now. Bye bye Lyft. Thankfully I live in NYC where I have other options.
Got the same email today. I guess Bud doesn’t care after all.
I had all the promo codes entered in the app, today none of them seems to be applied, anyone else with the same issue?
ROUNDTRIPRIDE
another $20 for 10/5-10/8
This code didn’t work as of 3:01pm eastern time.
It was ROUNDTRIPRIDES with an ‘S’ but the code has already been used up.
not working for me either.
I think the dates are wrong in the post for SAFEROADS17. You guys have it as 10/10 – 10/12 but the Lyft app shows it as 10/12 – 10/15
