anyone know a way to sign up for Lyft with a non-US CC?

I tried using Lyft in NYC and could not, because their credit card verification process didn't accept my (four-digit) zip code. Tried leading and trailing zeros, to no avail (this works at most US gas pump terminals). As they have no phone customer service, I had to give up.
Anyone have any hint on how I could get around this?

Oh, that drives me crazy when I'm trying to do the reverse (sign up for a non-U.S. service with a U.S. credit card).

Found phone number info for you for Lyft, although they note that isn't the best way to reach them:

On the app in the Credit Card screen, tap the flag, and it will let you change country.

In such cases, generally try "00000" or, in lieu, your four digit code with an added 0. However, in the case of Lyft, try tapping the flag to change the billing address country.
