Used Lyft last night. The 750 TrueBlue first-timer bonus points + 30 points for the ride to the airport posted today. ^

I totally forgot about this. I took an Uber ride to the airport the other day instead, and earned 12.5 JetBlue points through ThanksAgain. I'll have to keep this in mind, although I think the cost difference between Uber and Lyft outweighs the benefit.

Here in Boston, UberX is ever so slightly less than Lyft. For longer distance rides such as my house to the airport, I can pay $5-10 less on UberX than Lyft. For most other rides, UberX costs less by a a few dimes or so.

In New York City both Lyft and Uber require TLC Vehicle Inspection (that gets you the TLC sticker on the window), TLC "For Hire" License for the driver (the the picture ID card displayed in the car from TLC), Certificate of Liability (COL) Commercial insurance in the driver's name.

I will try to signup again. 2-3x Lyft rides to the airport & never saw any points in my account.

Having taken a few rides this week, it appears that the points post immediately. I'm not sure how they can tell whether it's an airport ride, but I actually only took one ride to the airport, yet was credited for a bunch (seven) other rides to a location that's near but not in the airport. So, I don't know if being on airport property triggers the bonus, or if being charged an airport fee triggers it.
