I received a Lyft reward from my property. How do I claim it?
You’ll receive an email and push notification letting you know about your reward. You’ll have Lyft credits, potentially to and from a specific destination. This is determined by your property.
Relevant details of your reward will be clear in your email communications. To use your reward, you’ll need to claim it first. To claim your reward:
1. Please go to the Your Benefits page, where you’ll see the option to claim your reward. 2. You’ll have the option to either claim the full reward, or split the reward with your roommate.
3. If you’re splitting your reward with your roommate, you can either split the reward evenly, or do a custom split. Bilt is not involved in the process of splitting your reward, and that’s entirely determined between you and your roommate.
4. Once you claim your reward through Bilt, you’ll be directed to your Lyft account. If you haven’t linked your Bilt Account to your Lyft Account, you’ll need to do that first. 5. Once your accounts are linked, your Lyft credit will live in your Lyft account, not your Bilt account.
What if my roommate has claimed some or all of the reward?
Rewards can be given to your entire household, or just to a single resident, which is determined by your property. In this case, your roommate might have claimed some or all of the reward. If your roommate claimed part of the reward and shared some with you, you’ll see it in your Bilt account. Bilt has no control over this, so we recommend discussing it directly with your roommate.
