Happy with this change, didn’t it used to be 5% off normal rides and then they took it away? I’m glad it’s back. I felt that the car benefits were a waste. If I’m a lyft “power user” I think it’s safe to assume I don’t benefit much from that type of thing. But maybe that’s the point, benefits that sound good but rarely get used.

One of the hidden highlights of Lyft Pink is reinbursements for key replacements. I lost my car key a while back, and Lyft Pink was able to reinburse over 150 dollars or so of it. This is when I got it through CSR. They don’t really advertise this though, so it’s one of the hidden features – I hope it is still around

Oh wow. Didn’t knew that. Do you have to be a Lyft driver or something?

I lost my car key last year as well and I have the Lyft Pink from CSR too. Gonna try this now.

Yes! You just have to have Lyft Pink. I did it last year after losing my keys on a ski slope. It singlehandedly pushed the CSR to “worth it” for me based on the credits it provided at that time. I paid for a key replacement in December, and got it reinbursed in the Spring, so I would say you could have a good shot if you do it now. You should do it soon though as it looks like this feature is going away with the roadside assistance.

pink is bullshit in LA. All rides cost more than uber. Priority pickup IS NOT FREE.

Well that’s annoying. I have been using my AAA calls saving my Lyft calls for when I would need the 200 mile tow. Now I only have 30 days to use up my service calls. Oh well.

You’re expecting more than one break-down a year?
