Free Lyft credit for existing users? It's possible...

"Invite Friends" for free $$$

Most of you Lyft users out there have already downloaded the app and input a new user Lyft promo code to get free credit. Now that you've taken your free ride, how can you get more free Lyft credit? Most existing Lyft users think that it's impossible to get more free rides, but I've picked up a few tricks in my time as a Lyft driver and passenger that will net you some freebies.

(If you're a new Lyft user, download the app and input my promo code DOUG1682 to get $25 off your first free ride.)

Free Lyft credit for existing users: Two tricks

1. Have a friend who hasn't used the app input a new user promo codeWho says you have to request all the rides? Have a friend in your group who is new to Lyft download the app and input DOUG1682. They'll get one free ride up to $25, and if you work the situation right, you'll be inside that free ride.

2. Use the 'Invite Friends' feature - You get one free ride per referral

Lyft will pay you to share the app with friends. Each friend you refer using the in-app "Invite Friends" feature will earn you one free ride, up to $25. Those can add up quickly. I've had friends who have banked $50 or $100 in free credits just by inviting friends to the app. That'll take you a long way.

There are no lyft codes for existing users. To get free rides you'll need to invite friends to the app or hand out promo codes to your friends.
