Same. But the $40 minimum gives me little usage. If tip and fees are included in the $40 minimum then maybe.

I've heard the staff at the remote lot routinely tell pax not to order a Lyft and stick with Uber. I've never had the problem going to JFK, just from it, so will probably continue with Lyft to JFK, with double miles, and Uber from it, with 1-1 miles.
I assumed the start of the Uber partnership meant the end of the Lyft partnership. I hope I'm wrong.
