Mine expired yesterday. I used Lyft a grand total of once this entire past year. That was 3 days ago, when my Uber driver confirmed pickup and then promptly drove away from me. I'm guessing the guy was multi-app driving and forgot.

In my experience, Uber often has better prices, more drivers, and better availability (e.g. available internationally). I struggle to see who pays for this. You'd have to spend ~$135/mo. on Lyft to break-even on the monthly fee. For me, that's about 3x roundtrips to the airport (vs. $6 for light rail). Even with the 10x Points + 15% off, Lyft is often $1-2 more expensive than Uber on a per-ride basis.
