Our Verdict
A lot of us have free DashPass from their Chase cards; this is another way to get 3 months free. I’ll link my account to take advantage of the $10 discount and possibly an airport ride before year-end.
Longer term, I can hopefully benefit a bit from the Priority Pickup on Lyft rides. In theory I’ll also save 5-10% on rides with this new offer; in practice, we’ve heard speculation with similar benefits that the algorithms just increase the prices and then discount them. It’s difficult to know whether there’s any real savings or not, but hopefully it’s worth something.
