NOTE: This promo has ended! Lyft got thousands of applications and closed the window on this. Hopefully some of you were able to get in on this amazing deal.
This sounds like it is too good to be true.
However, it is true.
Sign up to be a Lyft driver in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Denver, Seattle, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, San Jose, Miami, Nashville, San Francisco, Los Angeles and earn $1000 as a sign-up bonus.
You only need to complete ONE RIDE.
Just make sure to enter a code when you sign up. My code is KENDRA261 if you would like to use it.
If you are in the San Francisco area and use my code, we will EACH get $1000!
If you are elsewhere (Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Denver, Seattle, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, San Jose, Miami, Nashville, Los Angeles) use code THOUSAND or BENJAMINS and YOU will get the $1000 🙂
Thanks to reader Al for letting me know about this awesome promo!
Any of you going for it?
Stylish travel, chic finds, crazy adventures and amazing deals...daily. Enthusiastic. Entertaining. Never a dull moment. Always a fun read.
Was there a point to posting this after the registration date had already passed?
UnitedEF – The promo starts on February 25 and ends on March 5.
As far as I am aware the BENJAMINS promo code appears to be for nyc only. At least that’s what the screen print says. I could be wrong but From what I could dig off the web it looks like one needs valid codes for the other cities such as these:

I live in SF and am interested in this! The problem is I don’t have a car – what do you recommend I do?
YC – Sadly, I think you can’t get in on this promo 🙁
There is another startup that leases Priuses for the purpose of using them with Uber/Lyft/etc for ridesharing 🙂
Couple questions for you:
1. So I just signed up (but I need some time to clean my car, do the mentor ride, wait for background check to clear, etc). In the meantime can I refer other people using this $1,000 promo or do I need to wait till I am approved to drive before I can start referring people and racking up these $1,000 credits
2. If I had a speeding ticket a couple years ago will this be an issue?
HoKo – I’m so sorry but I don’t know the answers to your questions! Maybe reach out to Lyft directly to get answers?
I don’t think my car could possibly get clean enough, but it’s worth a try for $1,000. Thank you!!
pinkisnice – Sadly, the promo has ended. Lyft got so many applicants that they closed the window early!
Do you know of anyone who actually got approved to drive yet? The deadline to make the first drive is tomorrow….
