True freedom. I love the ability to choose to get paid after every ride. It truly gives you the freedom of choice in how you get paid. You can turn it on or off anytime so that if you want to not get paid to your Lyft direct card and rather deposit it elsewhere you can. But then you want to have it pay after each ride for a little while so you can build some gas money on your Lyft direct card, just turn it back on and once you hit the amount you want in your Lyft direct account turn it back off and start sending the money back to your bank. Personally I have turned it on and off a couple times just to deposit in my other account that I still have bills coming out of. But once I get my bills transferred I think I’m just going to have it on all the time.

Today is when I can’t official view my available balance. It worked great since I first started using it up til today . All of a sudden I got hungup waiting for Lyft direct support first wait was 50 mins second one was 29 then it said they were unavailable too busy helping other drivers what not then hungup so the support just really isn’t their it’s frustrating as I want to see my available balance and am unable to . It’s been 9 hours . I contacted Lyft directly so not sure why but it happened this morning after I got a rider then all rides after him it posted the payment of their rides but the notification of the rides direct payment after completed stopped along w immediately updating after same goes for w use I even went to the atm it didn’t update yet it showed the withdraw so not sure what to do at the point but I think I’m going to go back to just using my xfer to my debit card for the 50c it was less headache mines the fees vs being able to go to the free atm to pull it n save some fee charges unless their atm didn’t work also note atm receipts don’t print balance nor does the screen when selected to do so

MY ONLY MISTAKE IS NOT STARTING SOONER. I’ve been painting for the last 28 years I’m 46 this year. I started doing commercial and residential painting in the summer times with my uncle when I was 15 years old and now that there’s opportunities like a Lyft out there now gave me the opportunity to get away from the physical labor aspect of work, which now I can actually make time for Myself and My family My Life And Really get to the Places I wanna be and Deserve to be in my life. I’ve been clear in $1000 under 40 hours like nothing that’s not even excepting ride after ride after ride after ride after ride the money islegit 100% and I like to see somebody tell me different if it’s not the opportunity of how much you can make is all up to you. Thanks for your Time Rodney M

Where’s my money!!!. Wow, I don’t know how this app gets so many good reviews. I admit, at first I loved it. Especially the cash back! However. Last Thursday January 20th I deposited $150 in my account and still haven’t received it! I’ve received other deposits afterwards but that one transaction has disappeared. The app says they sent the money and my bank says they never received the money. Previously, I had an issue that took over 3 months to resolve where my card got hacked probably from the gas skimmers at the pump. Someone duplicated my card and had to file a police report document store managers where my card was used and it still to long to be reimbursed. The operator helping me explained that fraud is happening so much. I called and was able to speak to someone who escalated my issue to someone who did resolve it within five days. I got my money thank you. The lesson here is technology is great but sometimes there will be a glitch so don’t give up and keep communicating with the individuals that can help you.

Work for Lyft? Download and use immediately!!. So I just started working for Lyft again in 2023 and all I can say is that to be able to use a debit card and have money loaded onto it right after each Lyft ride is incredible and super convenient because there’s no fees and because it allows me to refuel my vehicle easily and earn small cash back rewards that I’m guessing will add up eventually. I love that I can go to certain Allpoint ATMs and withdraw cash without any fees and I really truly love that I can use the card on Apple Pay, which saved me a lot of hassle in the beginning when I didn’t have the card before it came in the mail. If you’re working through Lyft, download the app and request the free debit card and have fun that’s what I’m doing.

The best addition to Lyft so far…. I have been driving for Lyft and Uber for three years. And this is hands-down the best addition to the app they have ever made. The old system of doing a cash out up to five times a day and someone making money off of that just didn’t make sense to me. I have never had a problem with getting paid, with the card, or the process at all. It started weird because you could only use ATMs at Walgreens and CVS but now you can get cash back with regular purchases so when I need to pick up something from Walmart I can just get cash back. And no one else makes a dime off of that. I dropped someone off and that money is literally on the car 10 seconds later. I even have other direct deposit things linked to this account now. It works for so many reasons.

Interesting Card. Overall I enjoy the card for instant payout and the cash back features. However, I do not recommend for use at such places as hotels, beauty salons, and definitely would not use at the gas pump. Recently, I had reservations at a hotel and planned to pay using the card. The transaction was declined because there was not an additional $10 in the account to be held, even though the hotel gave me the exact of the bill. Therefore, I had to go to a gas station to get cash back. After the gas station, I had to locate my regular bank’s atm to deposit money on my local banks debit card so I could pay for my hotel stay. Then today, April 2, 2020, I had some esthetician services done. I paid the tip in cash. The card was declined again even there was more than enough money to pay for the services. The esthetician attempted to run the card 3 times and was declined. Not a great travel card to pay for services! Lastly in this time of crisis, the places where the atm are located closes at 9 pm. Thus, you can’t get money and at the mercy of gas stations or stores/shops open past 9pm.

This is the best app on the market for this sorta thing but co wider the name for the love of hjf. It’s simple, easy to use, you know it’s like, to the point ya know what I mean…uhhh…DIRECT! But if I had to make one note, and even though it’s insignificant and means nothing to anybody, including me by the way, but doesn’t it bother you that ‘Lyft’ is spelled with a ‘y’ but when you got to ‘Direct’ you suddenly don’t like replacing ‘i’s with (y)s anymore? I don’t care which it is either way by the way, but fix it ! It’s aesthetically nauseating and I’m gonna be sick pretty soon here if you don’t change your ways. Or maybe, please, change your name. Or consider

Gas card done right. Living as a paycheck-to-paycheck millennial has taught me the art of balancing frugality and practicality; I think the Lyft Direct card and app strikes a good balance. The ability to cash in your earning instantaneously without having to pay money to get your money shows a certain level of respect to us riders I really appreciate, and on top of that, we get the highest cash back rewards from fueling up. This is why I made this my official gas card, filling it up with earnings from Monday through part of Tuesday with enough gas to last me at least the week. The rest, I leave alone to collect and cash in automatically every Tuesday night as a direct deposit into my Chime account. Yes, I’m a proponent for taking advantage of multiple benefits from multiple companies looking out for the little guy; these days, you really do have to consider carefully where your loyalties should lie. Generally speaking, I think Lyft as a whole has made tangible efforts to show they care about their riders. Not perfect by any means, but better than not most certainly.

“Nigerian Prince” of financial services world !!!. Payfare/ Lyft Direct are NOT FDIC !!! Payfare / Lyft Direct are impersonator of Stride Bank... Payfare/ Lyft Direct practices of financial services in USA are ILLEGAL !!! Payfare has most unprofessional and unqualified personal who fall NOT under any US regulations... Nothing and no one holds Payfare/ Lyft Direct reps to collect and sale your personal and financial data on “Bombay Flea Market” ... NO ONE CAN PROVIDE or THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE info if they licensed secured bound or regulated... ‼️UPDATE: no. Stride doesn’t provide services Stride immediately transfers all calls to the same service office who handles Lyft’s drivers and riders customers supports. I just wonder about their qualifications to be half bank service half dispatcher? Is it even legal? According to Stride they don’t even have access to Checking accounts of Lyft Direct ‼️UPDATE: just after previous update ( about 4-6 hours ago) PAYFARE suspended my Lyft Direct account and at this point refusing to communicate. Agents are hanging up on me advising to send them email. Currently I left without access to my account where I have $ at this point ( over $200 which is all available funds I was looking to have at current moment ) No money no gas and account is terminated and no new when I will get my money back if will at all... Thank you JEFF ( aka Robert Lee aka Balachandran aka Cheyenne aka Sneh)

Love the rewards but need improvement.. Cash back reward is great!! I am now using this card everywhere. It took me awhile to get this card because I have been satisfied with my checking account. I now have instant access to my earnings without having to wait or pay a fee for instant payout. I now get double rewards using this card along with the uplift app. There’s room for improvement and expansion. I wish I didn’t have to pay a fee to deposit cash and there were more free atms. Also wish it was more like a checking account and I could use Zelle. I hope it only improves for the better.

BEWARE OF THE BANK TRANSFER IF YOU NEED MONEY IMMEDIATELY. I have been using the lyft direct since September of 2019 they have made various improvements of a lot of important things, but they lack bank transfer speed and the ability to see the ach from the Customer service end like a traditional bank. My thing is why does it take 3-5 business days for ach to come in I know every institution handles wires differently but if I get paid Friday I should see the money in my account at least by Saturday morning, if I get paid weekly (every Friday) why do would I want my direct deposit to come in on Tuesday or Wednesday kind of defeats the purpose of direct deposit. Other than that I’d say the app is pretty sturdy all around besides the deposit info and the fact that when you get on the phone with customer service they most likely are not American(mind you it doesn’t matter what there nationally/ethnicity is) I’d just like someone who spoke proper English so it was easy for both parties to communicate

Lyft Direct Card. Love the idea behind the Lyft Direct Card. My personal opinion. Easy to access and love that the app keeps track of the fuel expenses when using a fuel station they recommend. Also reimburses a certain amount fuel expenses per gallon with in a few days back onto your Lyft Direct Card. The Direct App also has a variety of discounted fuel stations to choose from based of your location, lots of discounts to restaurants, automotive needs etc. May not seem like much at first. but it all adds up over a period of time. My personal opinion, I am very impressed with how Lyft over all is doing it’s part as an employer with keeping up with innovative ways to not just make it easier and safer for its clients. Also the creativity and effort towards driver retention. They work to help Lyft drivers maximize earnings potential by providing an easy to use Lyft Direct App. That helps Lyft Drivers save money, tutorials to what you need to know… My favorite,they make it i easy for Lyft Drivers to have access to what your earning instantly. I’m a business major, so I have an appreciation when I come across a business/employer doing its part to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Job well done!

My experience with LYFT. Hello 👋🏻, I usually drive more for UBER because of all the trips I am open to, but their Navigation system is not all that accurate, I have been driving a little for LYFT lately and I love it better than UBER, there’s just a few things I am not familiar with on how LYFT operates, like when I accept a ride, I see it says exit and there’s where I don’t understand, it’s new to me so please bear with me I also was wondering if LYFT carpools? I’m just used to pick up passengers 1 at a time,and go on to next passenger, please help me? Above all, I love driving LYFT, it is ABSOLUTE and my passengers are more pleasant than UBER, Thank you 🙏🏻 for all that you do LYFT support ✌🏻☮️🕊

A great alternative to Lyft payouts!. I appreciate having my money available to me instantly, there are no fees for cashing out and I don’t have to send my money to the bank! The cash back on gas and fast food is helpful ( I honestly think cash back on gas percentage should be higher or a partnership with a gasoline company that saves drivers money on gas). Perhaps cash back at auto parts stores would be lovely (Lyft definitely does a number on your vehicle) I like the goal feature! I think it could be more interactive as far as setting a goal and making notes on payments into your goal. Mostly suggestions. Great alternative for Lyft payments!

I love this card. If you are wondering why this card over others? Then read what I am about to write. I love this card and the benefits that come with it. I love that I got instant rewards that I’m able to turn right back to cash. No STRINGS ATTACHED. Other reward companies could take a lesson from Lyft. What card allows you to instantly have your money sent as soon as you get paid? Automatically after each ride? With no cash out fees? Not even a bank can beat this. None that I have come across. I’ve only had my card for 2 weeks and I have yet to explore all of the benefits. I always think some reviews are fake when I read them. But I’m a regular working person who depends on making extra money and needing it right away. From the bottom of my heart, thanks Lyft, for coming up with such an amazing card.

Clutch as a mug. You ever been on 45 miles left in the tank when u first crank the car and frustration sits in bc your bank account was just overdrawn but you can’t react bc pressure busts pipes and makes diamonds so you take a deep breath and tell your 2nd grader you have the needed 20 dollars for their field trip they have been talking to you about all week but don’t know this is the last 20 (but for his smile it’s worth it and I’ll figure as any parent would) so that’s what I did I figured it and turned on the Lyft app and in 40 miles left I was able to make three rides happen and the money went straight to my Lyft pay card and I was able to maneuver thru this weeks adulting challenge thru this company staying at the cutting edge of technology and making it so that we all have a chance I love you guys from me and my little man Ps the field trip was epic as a mug

World’s WORST support.. I used one of the “free” ATMs they mention to pull out $80 in December. While the amount was deducted from my available balance, the ATM printed a receipt that said Transaction Declined. I contacted the ATM company who opened an case and told me to talk to my bank. My first call with support told me to wait a week and see if the transaction fell off. When it didn’t I called back and was told a case was opened. I even provided the receipt. After waiting days for responses to emails, I finally received an email 7 days later with forms to fill out. I returned them 30 days later they notified me they had accepted my dispute. We’re 45 days from the original incident at this point. The email went on to say they would take an ADDITIONAL 50 business days. While the card has great benefits, this support experience has made me decide this is not worth the reward to deal with this.

Easy Management. I have been using Lyft Direct for over a month now. During the COVID-19 limitations and closures, it has been a credit saver in that it allowed me to pay my bills when the common banks had failed and were unreachable because of service call overload. It has an easy way of tracking income which is more concise than the Lyft Driver App. There’s no need to remember to cash out or wait for Monday morning to see your pay hit the account. Spending is quickly noted, so there is near instantaneous reflection of the expenditures and new balance. I’ve gotten use to the luxury it is and I don’t want to think of it not being there.

Love Love Love !. At first I was iffy about it. I love my decision to use lyft a direct pay! My earnings get deposited and are ready for use right away! I get cash back on certain purchases, it’s not much at the moment but let it add up and it amounts. I can pay bills straight from it, don’t have to worry about overdraft or fees, it simply just get declined if insufficient! I made the choice to just use it as my main bank account! However, when it comes to needing the money in my actual bank account I was worried about that and how long it would take but I tried it out and very next business day in my bank account! Now it says 1-2 business days depending on your bank however most banks it’s 2-3 unless you have zelle and get money that way. But I absolutely love lyft direct!! No more worries about if my card is going to work or not nor be over drafted! It’s become my main account and I absolutely love it !

Not for everyone. I use this app strictly as an adjunct to my regular checking account at Chase Bank, primarily to avoid the transaction fees a that are levied by Lyft (which apparently feels I should pay for the privilege of accessing my own money). For that purpose, it functions well enough. Interestingly, although the debit card I was issued from Stride quite clearly identifies itself as a “bank”, it’s own representatives deny that is, characterizing it as a mere “financial institution”, which is unable to transfer funds in a timely manner, leaving the user to wonder where in the internet ether their money ended up in the process of the 24-96 hours it took for the transaction to be credited-in sharp contrast to the immediate and simultaneous debiting process this “financial institution” employs when using them for purchasing. So in conclusion, my recommendation to potential users would be to keep your expectations low when using Stride “Bank”, as they seem to behave like a bank only when it suits them.

Breath of fresh air. I was a fleet owner running five black SUVs with 10 drivers for a competing rideshare service in Cleveland Ohio. Myself personally had done over 14,000 rides since I started when they came to Cleveland with a five star rating the whole time I was even interviewed for two magazines because I had the top customer service rating in the country When they close their Cleveland Office I was never able to get another driver cleared because there’s nobody that would do background checks or understand what I wanted I could not get registrations cleared. I could not get insurance papers cleared because nobody knew what they were looking at online there was nobody in Cleveland to help When I moved to lift, I walked in the office and Cleveland the very nice gentleman walk me through everything and it has been such a breath of fresh air. I appreciate you guys so much and you actually pay better and show you’re more transparent with where the money is going thanks again For being great Thanks again lift you’re the best

Works for me!. This particular app, with Lyft seems to work well. I’ve only been with Lyft, for about a month and this app works for me just fine. But needs to have more attention, is your GPS system. Your GPS system is absolutely terrible. It waste my time your time as well as the customers time it shows wrong routes right in front of the customer, who knows where they’re going. It sends me in circles sometimes, until I have to get out of it myself I have been blamed for late arrivals and late drop offs 90% of it is due to your GPS system giving wrong directions. Please fix this as it is discouraging me from being a Lyft driver.

Good tool. This seems like a really useful tool. I haven’t used it for very long. To be honest I don’t get a ton of business from Lyft. The Lyft driver app is kinda squirrley if you ask me. It randomly bumps me out of queue. Also tends to lose my location so that my rides get reassigned. That is so aggravating. And whenever that happens the Lyft support act like a bunch of four-year-olds pretending they didn’t just crap in their pants. Plus Lyft has been terrible about compensating me for damage to my vehicle done by riders. I don’t get it. That seems like a pretty basic thing. Whatevs. But I don’t hate this Lyft direct thingy. It has been useful for paying for gas at least.

Awesome. I love the app, quick and easy plus you get your earnings instantly after each ride and their support is very helpful and the app is growing and developing very quickly offering us new features it seems like almost every month to every other month. This card also offers cash back on gas, repairs, and food no matter what up to 2% cash back on gas is awesome and it’s available instantly after purchase and you can either leave it in the cash back account or put it right back into your main checking account balance. Also another cool feature is GOAL/SAVINGS account you can use for free no fees or minimal to transfer money to out of your main checking to save up money which is awesome. i love the app!

Great cash back for gas! No easy withdrawal.. So far I am super happy with my Lyft direct card. Perks: No withdrawal fee! Works on Apple Pay and anywhere cards are taken. No fees, no credit check. GREAT CASH BACK ON GAS!! I am getting 3% now, but am working on getting to platinum where you make 7%. As a Lyft driver that’s 14$ a week, 700$ a year that I wouldn’t have had otherwise, spending the same money I would have before (works at all gas stations, you don’t have to go to specific ones). Negative: Honestly, so far there really only is one, but it’s kind of a big one in my eyes (and it’s why I rated a 4). YOU CANNOT EASILY WITHDRAW TO ANOTHER BANK, or pay people directly. It says it could take 4 days, plus more time on weekends and holidays to get your money. So you need to plan far ahead. Also, there is no zelle or zelle-like feature, so if you wanted to transfer money to someone, you would have to input their bank info etc and the same long send times apply. Hope this was helpful!

Poor customer service and issues with rewards. In November my rewards dropped on me. I contacted the email support and got an auto reply saying someone would be in touch within 24 hours. A week later I emailed again and the reply was they where closing that request because I had already reported it but still no contact from support. Then in December I get an email that says they corrected the issue and my rewards would be added in early Jan 2020. Now I get my rewards and click redeem so that the cash will be in my account and it does nothing. Contact support and they tell me delete and reinstall app. Did that and still nothing, they ask for a screen shot or my rewards and they will have a higher support call me right back. Well here I am 4 days later and cannot access my money from my rewards. No phone number to contact them at and no one answers emails. Very poor customer support, lyft needs to partner with another bank if this company cannot provide the service.

Communication lacking. I enjoy driving for Lyft for the most part, but getting answers to app questions is a bit vague. I need to speak to a live agent on app issues to learn my way around with Lyft, I drove for Uber for many years because of their direct communication and troubleshoot. I have lost a few rides due to app issues, with Lyft when I click on accept next ride, while I am finishing a ride in progress, and they don't save they are gone when I try next ride. It is very frustrating. I don't want to miss rides. App needs updates; including to pause rides for restroom break, lunch, gas. Other than communication and difficulty operating the app. Its great, please fix, I don't understand rides not being there, does not show rider canceled, just no ride. Please fix!!?

Why I do what I do. Driving for Lyft is asif the job was Tailored for me! I’m handy caped and can’t stand for long periods of time and I can’t walk long distance! But I can drive safely and get people home safely! My mission is to do my part in getting intoxicated people home safely and not have any wrong way drivers on our highways! It sickens me that some people out there think that they can drive home, then go the wrong way on a highway and kill people! Lyft gives me the opportunity to help do something about this issue! I drive for Lyft because they allow me to work a schedule that I can Taylor to a timeframe that works towards my particular schedule!! THX. Lyft Jimbo D.

Convenient!! 🤩. I admit, I was skeptical at first to use the Lyft direct pay due to the fees the pay cards usually have. I always thought using direct deposit to my personal bank was best. Since I’ve decided to give it a try, here are my thoughts…I love that my money is directly deposited into my Lyft pay account and I have complete and immediately access, no waiting for my bank. No hidden fees, that I have come across yet. I even earn cash back for my gas and everyday purchases and this is huge given the rising cost in almost everything these days!! I have found Lyft direct pay to actually be more convenient AND rewarding than using my personal checking account after all 😃😃

Long pick-up drives. I would suggest that if people have a choice for long pick up rides, then the drive to pick them should be longer then the actual ride itself. I have driven 15-20 mins out of my way for a 5-10 min ride and it’s a waste of my time and I use up my gas more. I can’t call people all the time to find out how long their ride is all the time cause of coarse I’m driving. Can Lyft figure out how to make it to where the ride to pick them is shorter or equal then the ride itself? It’s very frustrating at times and I want to use my time wisely when I’m on The road. Example: It takes me 20 mins to pick up someone. However the ride only takes 5 mins. I then get very mad about this... Can this not be an option for them at all? It’s just a waste of gas... What I think would be acceptable, is a 15 minute pick up for 40 minute ride- this is a yes!!! I would be very happy if this can be fixed or manipulated in someway. The point is the pick time should always be shorter then the ride for them itself. Thanks for this opportunity to give an input.

I was a pioneer driver and I’m back. Then and now makes me proud to have believed in Lyft, I was pioneer driver in Miami Florida when I left was first introduced to the sunshine State and of course I made an incredible amount of money because the pay rates are a lot higher back then eventually I’ll let it go to pursue other things in my life and when those other things didn’t work out quite the way I planned I was able to very easily come right back to Lyft! Although the pay rate has significantly decreased from when I first started with them the freedom and the independence that the opportunity provides is absolutely priceless! I’m proud to be a driver with Lyft!

Missing fares - lied to by Payfare reps. When I first called Payfare Sunday night to report a missing fare they promised it would be resolved in 24 hours. Well now it has been well over 48 hours since I first inquired about my missing fare. The rep I spoke with did say they could see that the payment failed and it would correct In 24 hours after investigating, which was now 48 hours ago. What more is there to investigate? This is unacceptable to keep a drivers $ during the holidays. I cannot believe you have not corrected this issue yet. Wow! Way to treat people! I will warn all my fellow drivers not to use your service. By the way all the customer service reps seems to be at a call center in Pakistan because I can barely make out what they are saying. Very hard to communicate with them. Beware fellow drivers, stay far away from Payfare. They will mess up and keep your $ eventually and good luck getting the missing payout in a timely fashion. Been waiting 3 days now for them to fix the issue and put my missing $ in the account.

Easy, convenient, and secure!. Finally an app for a debit card that actually matters! I’ve always had issues with my income that I received from lyft due to me having a credit union that was bipolar about express pay. Eventually I grew tired of the consistent back and forth of either it being successful and going through or having to wait an inconvenient 1-2 business days. All my earnings go directly into the debit card, and the app works just like your own personal bank account app. Glad I signed up for this form of depositing my hard earned lyft money! Plus with reward points you can earn while you spend. The list goes on.. but point is, if you’re a lyft driver, this is a no brainer. Get this!!!

Quick deposits. Use this card for my lyft deposits for each ride. It goes in automatically after your ride ends for each ride and if any tip is applied you’ll get it in the card right away. To save money on atm fees you can go cash back or withdraws from CVS store. It saves you money from depositing into other cards because they take 50 cents each time u deposit into your account and that adds up. So if you’re a lyft driver and want your money into your account right away for free use this card. Besides if Lyft is your side hustle you can use this card for other things to separate yourself from using your primary banks that u pay bills with. Good to have. And no they don’t charge u to use your card each time u use it to pay food or whatever.

🗣Worst Card Evvvvveeeeerrrrrrr. It funny how the company stride bank can take your money for a payment but when it time to get your money these people already refunded me my money the same night & it still showing it’s pending. You call to speak to a supervisor no one is available or one will call you back & I don’t like to answer weird number. I have bills to pay & I just want my money back. Why do I have to wait 30 days is what one of the agent said... I have a receipt the paper said zero balance. Spoke with the manger of the place I made a transaction with said my money was given back as a refund same night it just depends on your bank to release those funds. Imma find how to report & shut you guys down. To many people complain about this card when it comes to transaction & refund. Stick with my real bank Chase to make transactions because when things go left I’m getting a provisional credit until prove otherwise. Customer service stuck you can’t get a person to speak English it just crazy. I like I can get paid quicker & faster but transaction wise not so much.

Great App for Lyft Drivers!. I’ve been a Lyft driver for over two years now. I really enjoy using Lyft Direct and the debit card cause my earnings. Go directly onto the card after each ride. That means my funds never sit in the Lyft app waiting for me to transfer to my bank account. That’s huge because when the funds are in your Lyft direct debit account, they are FDIC insured just like any other bank. This prevents anyone from hacking your Lyft account and stealing your earnings. The only trouble I’m having is linking my bank account to this account. I hope the developers of this app look into why you can’t link your own bank account to this account to transfer funds.

An ok app. In response to developer comments: After working with customer service and deleting and reinstalling the app the setting now works. It’s unbelievable customer service has not received other complaints as every other review in here mentions it. And to their credit customer service did reach out promptly but it took four emails for them to understand this issue. Thanks where it is due for them trying to help at least. Updated rating. FIXED: Support option in the app leads to Lyft support which either never responds to my questions/issues or takes many days to do so. They still have not responded to the issue above and it’s been over a week. ————————— FIXED: App never remembers login email so you have to type it in every time. Customer support is nonexistent and just links to Lyft’s customer support. Avoid.

Love it!. I got a Lyft Direct account after I was scammed! Although I am cautious, the scammer just said the right words and tricked me into giving him my express pay earnings. I decided right then and there to get a Lyft Direct account instead. This way my earnings will go right into my account after every ride and I don’t have to cash out. The card came right away, set up was very easy. At first I transferred a weeks Lyft earnings to my regular bank account. This took about a day. Then I thought to myself, why don’t I just use this new Lyft Direct account to pay my bills, buy gas… all that kind of stuff. It works great! I get cash back when I fill up at Arco Gas stations and I know there’s more benefits at grocery stores and who knows what else. I just bought airline tickets with the card and use my new Lyft Direct card at a restaurant. Works great and I don’t have to mix it with my regular bank account. I feel a lot safer.

VERY RUDE. I don’t know who is in charge of training but they need to start over from ground 0. Almost every time I call support I get a rude support agent. I was trying to explain my problem and the lady told me “I’m not going to waste anymore time on this have a good day” and hung up on me. Another instance my card was suspended I called to figure out why and was told it’s because my card hasn’t been used in a while, when it’s barely been 2 weeks since my last purchase with it. She then proceeded to tell me “the card is made to use”, I told her how rude she was being and she told me to behave. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and she told me no and hung up. Every time I have a issue and I ask to speak to a supervisor they say their isn’t one available and they’ll have one give me a call back but I never EVER receive a call back. This whole company is a joke

Lyft Direct. Very convenient setup! The only one so far that had the barcode scan activation like my old credit cards! Many benefits that I love! Like the cash back on gas, and I love the rates on the other cash back programs they offer! I took one star away because I haven’t tried their customer service yet in app! No phone number on back of card, everything is in app. I’m old school but will adjust! Also I haven’t tried the partnerships they have with restaurants (in app) on cash back but excited to do both!! And hopefully when I do it, it will be all definitely a 5star experience!! Also I’m glad they have Great deposit & add money options for the card! Love my card ! 🥰Hopefully you will 2😃☺️

Good but could improve. I’d like to see an option to withdraw the money to my bank account instantly even if I’m charged a fee as Uber ProCard does. They don’t charge if you send to your bank account and it could take some time to see the money reflected on your bank account but if I want the money right away on my bank, I can choose to pay a fee depending on the amount I’m withdrawing at the moment and the money reflects in my bank account immediately. It’s just inconvenient having to wait several days to receive the money from Lyft on my bank account, I might as well not have a Lyft direct account and just have Lyft deposit my bank account directly and it’ll take the same time, I thought the purpose of them Lyft Direct account was for you to have the money faster but that only happens if I make payments with my debit card or if I withdraw it from an ATM but it’s inconvenient having to go to an ATM to take the money and then deposit it on my bank account to have it sooner.

Poor customer service (read all). Look the card for a driver is definitely a game changer, but if you happen to have a dispute on an unauthorized charge is not as easy as your local bank in the U.S. the customer service agents make it more of a argument with you then help you resolve the issue. When I called back the 3rd time asking how to close my account the rep at that point was willing to help me file the fraud charge without any need for me to go through the steps of going back to the merchant and escalating it with them before they can escalate it for me, even though it’s my money they’re customer care agents that work with the place that I currently “bank with” and I’m saying hey guys I didn’t use my card today. Also the pending transactions are deducted immediately from your available balance so there’s not way your available balance goes down without using the card. The guy told because I gave them my information before I’m pretty much liable for the usage. But please drivers keep waiting for the weekly payouts or just pay the cash out fees so much better to deal with an actual banks that are there to help instead of argue like it comes out their wallet.

When gas prices go up, so do my savings. I love how this is orchestrated. It’s like knocking two birds out with one stone. Not only do you have an online bank to where you can manage your money and easily access all of its entities, you can also utilize it’s navigation features that point you to the closest gas station or store in order to reap said benefits for such store. On the map, it shows the lower case I with a darkened circle around it cuing you that it’s the info tab. There you can see how much you’ll get back in, say, gas.... where some places give you back 6%!!! Hey, I’m taking advantage of this when filling up my tank (as an Uber driver need I say more? Haha) and it totals to $65??? Well, if you used the Lyft direct MasterCard then you’ll get $3.85 back!! Bam! I got my money right back to me. So fast and smart. This is a must in times like this!

Your money at your fingertips.. The convenience of this card is awesome, I am a full-time Lyft driver, and I also rent from express drive. once I have covered my rental and I start to make profit, it’s so convenient to have your earnings instantly deposited into your account after a ride. I literally had 30 bucks one day and spent four hours driving happy for you know it that 30 bucks multiplied so quickly and in the fact that I can just go and purchase food or grocery shop and get cash back for every purchase is just awesome way more better then these credit card reward cards you see out here.

Lyft Direct. It’s been a great service for me! I’m not sure if there is a transfer charge . but if I use my debit card from my bank there are always fees involved . I have been taking cash out at Walgreens pharmacy , free , no fee, there is a Walgreens in direction NSEW each direction way more than the bank . I’ve started buying gasoline with it , so I spend money I have in account . Not spending cash from checking waiting for my pay from Lyft to hit checking . So I’m always flush with some cash. It actually motivates me to drive and earn more . Im getting some cash back don’t know how to use that yet but I’ll look for a tutorial! So 5 star review for the Lyft direct ! Kevin Tracy Driver Boson and Providence region

Lyft Direct Card. Honestly, I love this card. Forever I had my pay outs go to an external bank and I did it the old way with weekly payments cause I liked that then gas started rising and I thought about getting the Lyft direct card cause it’s garuntee 7% cash back on gas but a different deal thru an app called gridwise at the time helped me to save up to over 60cents for every gallon which was better at the time then that deal with gridwise ended and I scrambled to find a way to still save gas and I remembered the Lyft Direct card and so I ordered it the rest is history. I save money on gas not just gas but everything inside the gas station too is 7-8% cash back so I save a literal boat load of money then you get 4% cash back at a whole bunch of restaurants near you AND 1% on your bills, phone, internet, etc. to top it all off there’s also usually some typa deals too you can find in the app to further get cash back options when you go shopping or to eat that are bigger then just the % guarantee they give and I forgot to mention the biggest thing you obviously get paid after EVERY single ride without having to pay Lyft anything to instantly get your hard earned cash EVERY ride EVERY dollar! Also it has tools to help you manage your money whether it’s for saving or your cash back! 5 stars for now will edit if anything happens!

Lyft. This company is a great opportunity to go out and work as hard as u want no pressure just east going I was very hesitant about it but I took the time to get to know how it worked and decided to give it a shot I’m a single father of 3 and it’s hard time to time to make ends meet but being able to work when I want makes it the best I could ask for I now after a couple weeks have got myself on a regular schedule and I’m working around my children’s schedules so it’s great I would like to think Uber for this opportunity it really has made my life a lot easier. God Bless

Very good, but it could use some improvement. I greatly enjoy the cash back on my gas purchases especially, and the grocery purchases as well. Only giving four out of five stars because when I first tried to transfer $1,000 into my checking account at my bank, I was rebuffed. The funds were there - heck, I think I had $,1500 or more on account. Then I tried transferring $1,000 only to find out several days later that the funds were sent back to my card. It was at the beginning of the year and the funds were supposed to be in the account to cover my rent check. I contacted support and was told to try a smaller amount; so I sent $500 and two to three business days later, the funds showed up in my checking account. The system should be improved so any balance can be transferred. Thanks!

Just a 10k club Lyft Driver. I love using Lyft Direct...NO FEE BANKING...MONEY DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE IN MY ACCOUNT TO SPEND ON WHATEVER, WITHIN SECONDS OF COMPLETING ANY RIDE...NO CHARGE FOR THE IMMEDIATE MONEY TRANSFER...ITS DONE INSTANTLY AND AUTOMATICALLY ..it may seem all too good to be true....however, I PERSONALLY PROMISE YOU..IT IS ALL VERY TRUE...and for that I have saved sooo much money without having to pay the .50 cents for every transfer from the Lyft app (which may not seem like a lot....but it does all add up)...best of all you even get cash back from MANY places...ALL FOR FREE...with the option to transfer what you had received as cash back from shopping at the majority of your favorite places into your main account funds instantly....and YES, ALL FOR FREE....I just cannot stop mentioning how awesome having and using Lyft Direct as a member has been....and how grateful I am for it too...thanks again...

Streamlined my driving. With the lyft direct pay, you don’t have to wait for your money, you don’t have to pay anything to have instant access, and you can keep track of driving expense super easy. Any and all related expenses while I drive lyft, are out right on my direct card. No more “I made ___$, but I gotta take out ___$ for gas and ___$ for food”. Super simple way to manage it all, and the cash back is a huge plus. Drove for two weeks since I set it up, used it on all my food and gas, and already collected 10$ cash back from my expenses. So glad they released this feature.

World’s WORST support.. I used one of the “free” ATMs they mention to pull out $80 in December. While the amount was deducted from my available balance, the ATM printed a receipt that said Transaction Declined. I contacted the ATM company who opened an case and told me to talk to my bank. My first call with support told me to wait a week and see if the transaction fell off. When it didn’t I called back and was told a case was opened. I even provided the receipt. After waiting days for responses to emails, I finally received an email 7 days later with forms to fill out. I returned them 30 days later they notified me they had accepted my dispute. We’re 45 days from the original incident at this point. The email went on to say they would take an ADDITIONAL 50 business days. While the card has great benefits, this support experience has made me decide this is not worth the reward to deal with this.

New to Lyft. So great passengers a lot of funny people my only thing is the GPS system Lyft is using for some reason it’s not up to par. It will tell me to turn left on a one-way street and it will tell me that I have arrived at my destination. However, it’s still 500 to 1000 feet away the other night I was going literally in circles around the apartment complex and kept telling me turn left. Turn left turn left turn left and then turn left. Finally it got out of his little turn left mode and got me out of there.

Lyft driver. When I first started I was having trouble burning to much gas hunting rides. I found the best practice is to stay close to the last drop in a safe light area and wait for the next fair , it will come. I learned a lot using all the toturals Lyft has on their apps, there is a lot of knowledge at your finger tips. The only other input I have learned is watch the graphs and plan your driving time accordingly. Money is here for the making but you have to stay safe and in the seat. Have fun and safe Lfyting

Useful and many more. I love this card. It’s easy to use and to do transfer or receive money and you can get cash back from gas stations or restaurants or shopping from the supermarkets and believe me that amount adds up really good. Most of all, when I drive for Lyft , I don’t have to worry about the ride amount or tip and the great part is ; your money is already in that card every after trip ! You don’t have to hustle with cash out from Lyft app to your bank account or wait 1-2 business day for transfer, etc. Lately I start using this card more then my own bank account card :) . Genius idea , love it, love it.

Lyft Direct from Cynthia Brown in Philly!. At first I was a little skeptical about the card, but now I am so very pleased with it, especially since I can use my payout instantly, also what I find wonderful, are the rewards for using the card at specific locations, I love that option! I will continue to use Lyft Direct as long as I continue driving with Lyft, it’s convenient, gratifying and just makes working a pleasure, to receive instant gratification for something you had to work for, a joy instead of a chore, thanks Lyft for making my job a joy!

Not bad. I always used to have problems saving money, but I like this feature not for the so called gas savings, which in this era of insane gas prices doesn’t make much of a difference, but mostly just to separate my bank accounts. It’s like having a second source of income and expenses than in my bank that has all sorts of bills and auto pays messing up my balance. So my regular paycheck goes to my bank and my Lyft money is separate. I love having my gig money apart. It’s never really enough to pay for an actual bill, just enough to have fun and pay for my day to day expenses

My experience with LYFT. Hello 👋🏻, I usually drive more for UBER because of all the trips I am open to, but their Navigation system is not all that accurate, I have been driving a little for LYFT lately and I love it better than UBER, there’s just a few things I am not familiar with on how LYFT operates, like when I accept a ride, I see it says exit and there’s where I don’t understand, it’s new to me so please bear with me I also was wondering if LYFT carpools? I’m just used to pick up passengers 1 at a time,and go on to next passenger, please help me? Above all, I love driving LYFT, it is ABSOLUTE and my passengers are more pleasant than UBER, Thank you 🙏🏻 for all that you do LYFT support ✌🏻☮️🕊

Get ur $ right away. I had major problems applying for this card (it would not recognize my address). It was long and suffered, but I succeeded on my own. I talked to several support people and they could not help. The last one told me it was a program not available to me (whaaaat?). I think they told me that just cuz they were tired of me and dismissed me. So I tweaked it till I got the application through, then modified my address. Overall it is a GREAT program and get your money right away instead of waiting for the bank to process it. Awesome! Was worth the 3 weeks of attempt and effort to get it.

Earning. There have one problem because I’m doing Lyft with my SUV normal fuel car and those price pay by Lyft me that is not insufficient for servive because I have SUV car for normal fuel there have more than space against sedan car that is easy for Airport customer to put all bags but the lift pay same price because you know very well sedan or suv car fuel mileage have lot of difference. So humble request those Lyft driver have suv normal car pls should pay more than sedan car otherwise they didn’t servive long time of this condition Thanks Kamaldeep singh

VERY RUDE. I don’t know who is in charge of training but they need to start over from ground 0. Almost every time I call support I get a rude support agent. I was trying to explain my problem and the lady told me “I’m not going to waste anymore time on this have a good day” and hung up on me. Another instance my card was suspended I called to figure out why and was told it’s because my card hasn’t been used in a while, when it’s barely been 2 weeks since my last purchase with it. She then proceeded to tell me “the card is made to use”, I told her how rude she was being and she told me to behave. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and she told me no and hung up. Every time I have a issue and I ask to speak to a supervisor they say their isn’t one available and they’ll have one give me a call back but I never EVER receive a call back. This whole company is a joke

Lyft. Lyft Direct is a good option to use for Lyft drivers. Instant cash outs, without being charged, after dropping customers off is excellent. Having access to your money without needing to go offline is an underrated feature. The only thing that should be fixed is the Apple Pay compatibility. Sometimes, I am not able to transfer money or make purchases with this card through Apple Pay, which can cause unwanted issues. I wish to never need to use an ATM unless absolutely necessary. Overall, a good product.

All things considered. This new feature is definitely a more transparent way to operate. You see your fares immediately and can move fund relatively easily(not to be confused with quickly). You will have to wait at 24 hours. However you can easily move the funds once you have set up everything. I had issues that I thought were app related, mainly the repeated need to login with the various methods, those seem to have been fixed. All things considered, this is an improvement for drivers and is a great tool to have at your fingertips.

Awesome and easy. Lyft direct has a great option that let your earnings go directly to your account without you having to manually cash out. That means no more trying to cash out quickly between trips so you can get gas. It's already there. I love this feature so much. Not to mention the cash back on certain purchases, which also goes straight to your account. Honestly, these options are the best thing going. You better get you one quickly, because I definitely got mine!

Incredible App gets you instantly paid!. What more can I say than how nice it is to get your money deposited into your account after completing EVERY ride. The possibilities are endless with this flexibility. Say you want to take a weekend vacation away but your short on cash? Well just turn on your Lyft app and work your way towards your vacation destination by earning money as you drive there! Then when you arrive if you need more money you can do Lyft around that area as well. Nicely done!!

Great and quick!. Fast deposit with Lyft direct and allows you to keep driving and see what you were paid after each ride or you can turn that feature off in the app. Downside there are no FREE atms, unless you use get go or rickers but Lyft has a convenience fee of $2.50. It’s ok if your taking out large amounts of money but man Lyft don’t you get enough from our rides? Thought this would be a great alternative and it could be if you don’t use cash. My only complaint ! Keep doing a great job and we do appreciate the card opposed to .50 cents to deposit to another card.

Why I do what I do. Driving for Lyft is asif the job was Tailored for me! I’m handy caped and can’t stand for long periods of time and I can’t walk long distance! But I can drive safely and get people home safely! My mission is to do my part in getting intoxicated people home safely and not have any wrong way drivers on our highways! It sickens me that some people out there think that they can drive home, then go the wrong way on a highway and kill people! Lyft gives me the opportunity to help do something about this issue! I drive for Lyft because they allow me to work a schedule that I can Taylor to a timeframe that works towards my particular schedule!! THX. Lyft Jimbo D.

Direct. Lyft direct is amazing it literally has a section to save all of your cash back in one place and when you’re ready you redeem that amount… I like the fact that I can turn it off and on because I link my bank account to the Lyft app and cash out into that bank account… it’s really a good idea to separate all your monies for doing different things… I use the direct debit card for gas purchases and groceries then I turn it off and cash out into my bank account to pay my car note… I love it

I love driving for Lyft. I’m having a great experience so far. I just wish I had more work for Lyft. Also, I received a Lyft evaluation on my driving. I don’t understand the low scores I received. It says I hold my phone too much while driving. It’s hooked up to my 12 inch screen on my electric car through Apple CarPlay. I have the map on the screen. I only touch my phone to start or end drive. I consider myself a very safe driver and I am receiving all 5 stars from riders. So this low driving score is very upsetting.

Lyft Direct is AWESOME‼️. Very convenient, love the immediate payout and no fees when money put on my card after every ride. I also like the fact that you have option of money to go on your Lyft card after every ride or you can change it to go on a different card of your choosing but you have to pay the transfer fee. The only thing that was a minor small inconvenience was I couldn’t use my Lyft card at a gas station out in the county but that could be because it wasn’t a well know gas ⛽️ station retail chain. Other than that I am happy with my Lyft direct 😊

I can't believe it!. In August of '21 I moved from CA to FL so had a gap between driving. I had signed up for direct deposit to my credit union when I began driving for Lyft. It appears during my contract I also evidently signed up for a debit card which I misplaced or lost during the move. When I resumed driving I incorrectly assumed my drive income was being directly deposited as was the case prior to the move. Not the case. As I slowly re-entered "drive mode" I completed small short runs which helped me learn more about the neighborhoods I'd be negotiating. In May/June of '22 I began to work more diligently with much more significant income and when I checked my direct deposits and discovered nothing had been transferred since August. Until Mau of this year I wasn't concerned or didn't check my banking statements until I didn't see karger amounts being verified by my banking institution which immediately set a red flag alert for me. I haven't driven for 3 days trying desperately to get answers to the missing money but hit walls and walls of bureaucratic nonsense and frustration with Lyft's help advisors and now Payfare; the 3rd party Lyft uses for administering direct deposit monies.

The freedom of purchase. I’m loving the fact that there’s no limits on purchase amounts. I’ve been able to buy things that I never could with my bank because of daily limits and/or not always having the ability to call and have my limit increased prior to the purchase. You would think that $2,500 would be enough but, it isn’t when you’re buying big items such as, flat screens, multiple electronics, bed sets and furniture. There’s a great sense of freedom to be spend the money you earn whenever you feel like it. Thanks to you I was bike to finally get my Peloton bike!

Good overall, with a few significant flaws. Pros: first and foremost, it is a positive that this option and product exist to help the backbone of Lyft’s workforce. Instant payouts are great and rarely are their issues with prompt payout. Cash back and Goal funds are positives, and offer some nice benefits for users. Cons: unable to link the account to other modern methods of utilizing a bank card and online banking in the first place...the online and easy movement of funds. Cannot link it to ApplePay, SquareCash, and other similar products/services. Hard to move money easily out of the account in digital formats or to transfer just to my own other bank accounts/institutions. Hugely inconveniences result at times as a result. Improvement and additional options are needed here.

Lyft Direct. I had a dispute with a hotel about charging twice with my major credit card and my Lyft Direct card because I had split my payments in half for charge of the hotel. They said they only charge me the full price on my major credit card. When I showed the other charge on my Lyft direct they was so ashamed and embarrassed because of the transaction that appeared on my statement on my cell phone right then and there in their faces. Thanks to Lyft Direct I was able to prove them wrong.

Instantly Paid!. Wow, this is working out well so far. Every single I’m I’ve looked, pay for the rides I just did, appeared immediately afterwards in my LD card balance. And I can transfer out $ from my balance anytime I want, to either of my 2 bank checking accounts (though not to other credit cards or other alternative payment methods such as PayPal or venmo, I dont think) Havent tried using this LD card to buy discounted gas etc but will soon. Hoping there’s no quirks or ‘gotchas’ that crop up; so far so good.

Great way to make some income. There are some things that need to be addressed about the app. Like for example when your picking up some one or dropping them off. Sometimes the client changes their position and you have no choice but to drive to the last place where the clients was to confirm your pick up. Otherwise the app won’t recognize if the client was picked up and you could lose your fair unless you can confirm it where they were picked up or were dropped off.

Pure gold. Being able to work and earn money and watch my chips stack up after each ride is where it's at. Probably the most straightforward app to use and the most used app on my iPhone. I've never had any issues whatsoever with the app. I wish I could give it ten stars in this review! You're a fool not to get it and use it for your day-to-day use but also your record keeping and the ability to send your monthly statements to your accountant for tax purposes! Good Job, Lyft👍

Convenient payment method. I find it very convenient to use this card for Lyft purposes only. It helps me keep my expenses for my business separate from my other accounts. All on 1 card, I’m getting my earnings, paying for gas, car payment, car insurance, car wash, and anything else car or work related. 1 problem! Today I went to use the card to get gas and it told me insufficient funds!! I should have almost $200 available as of now in my account… I changed the PIN # and I know I have to call and find out what is going wrong!! Otherwise I’m happy with the card and my job

Long pick-up drives. I would suggest that if people have a choice for long pick up rides, then the drive to pick them should be longer then the actual ride itself. I have driven 15-20 mins out of my way for a 5-10 min ride and it’s a waste of my time and I use up my gas more. I can’t call people all the time to find out how long their ride is all the time cause of coarse I’m driving. Can Lyft figure out how to make it to where the ride to pick them is shorter or equal then the ride itself? It’s very frustrating at times and I want to use my time wisely when I’m on The road. Example: It takes me 20 mins to pick up someone. However the ride only takes 5 mins. I then get very mad about this... Can this not be an option for them at all? It’s just a waste of gas... What I think would be acceptable, is a 15 minute pick up for 40 minute ride- this is a yes!!! I would be very happy if this can be fixed or manipulated in someway. The point is the pick time should always be shorter then the ride for them itself. Thanks for this opportunity to give an input.

Easy Management. I have been using Lyft Direct for over a month now. During the COVID-19 limitations and closures, it has been a credit saver in that it allowed me to pay my bills when the common banks had failed and were unreachable because of service call overload. It has an easy way of tracking income which is more concise than the Lyft Driver App. There’s no need to remember to cash out or wait for Monday morning to see your pay hit the account. Spending is quickly noted, so there is near instantaneous reflection of the expenditures and new balance. I’ve gotten use to the luxury it is and I don’t want to think of it not being there.

Your money at your fingertips.. The convenience of this card is awesome, I am a full-time Lyft driver, and I also rent from express drive. once I have covered my rental and I start to make profit, it’s so convenient to have your earnings instantly deposited into your account after a ride. I literally had 30 bucks one day and spent four hours driving happy for you know it that 30 bucks multiplied so quickly and in the fact that I can just go and purchase food or grocery shop and get cash back for every purchase is just awesome way more better then these credit card reward cards you see out here.

A great alternative to Lyft payouts!. I appreciate having my money available to me instantly, there are no fees for cashing out and I don’t have to send my money to the bank! The cash back on gas and fast food is helpful ( I honestly think cash back on gas percentage should be higher or a partnership with a gasoline company that saves drivers money on gas). Perhaps cash back at auto parts stores would be lovely (Lyft definitely does a number on your vehicle) I like the goal feature! I think it could be more interactive as far as setting a goal and making notes on payments into your goal. Mostly suggestions. Great alternative for Lyft payments!

LyftDirect just works. Normally I don’t trust things that seem too good to be true. I signed up for LyftDirect in spite of the fact that no fees or minimum balance requirements, cash back on purchases and instant payouts with no fees seemed to be too good to be true. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. There truly are no fees for normal banking. I don’t deposit into the account, just what Lyft deposits. I use it for gas and groceries primarily and get cash back for doing so. Whether you drive full or part time, I cannot recommend the LyftDirect card highly enough. It literally does everything it says it will.

So far, so good. So far I’m loving this. All pay goes directly to card after each ride/tip....for free! No more $0.50/cash outs! I love the “goal” feature, I transfer all change over, my little way of saving. The cash back is sweet!!! I’m going to get gas every week at least, getting cash back for doing something I already do is great! Even get cash back at grocery stores BONUS!! I can also pay bills and transfer money to my other account at no cost, can’t beat that! I would recommend this, especially for those who cash out a lot and those who want to save and earn while driving for Lyft.

Payment messed up. I have it as direct pay to my debit card and my balance shows up on my Lyft debit card. Lyft has really messed up all my preferences . There is. I phone number that I can call call directly. No wonder so many drivers have left Lyft and are now driving Uber I left the Lyft platform a year ago and went Uber only. Thought I would give Lyft a try again. Lyft offers no way to get ahold of customer service scepter a bunch of questions that don’t pertain to my topic. I absolutely don’t u defats do what rocker scientist decided Lyft will now only give us the next information for turns instead of drop down directions. No wonder Lyft has lost so many drivers to other platforms. I don’t even k ow how to cash out. And you want drivers to keep driving for you???????????

App is Great but... So far this Lyft Direct App has been wonderful. I don’t ever have to use .50 to cash out my money and I get cash back on pretty much everything I purchase. Although there’s so many perks I don’t understand why today my app hasn’t been working well. My app is up to date and I can’t login to see my balance. There’s no quick number to call to see the balance or a fast swipe to see balance. It’s saying request error when I log in. Everything other than not being able to login today the app and great and I love my card.

Best Debit card EVER!!!. Lyft makes receiving your money so easy! Every transaction goes straight to the card for instant payout. No hidden fees! With every swipe of the card transactions post immediately so you never overdraft!! Not to mention the cash back rewards that come from using this debit card. I get cash back from almost every store. This card is truly amazing. It connects to direct deposits, has its own checking and routing number to help pay bills over the internet, local atms everywhere, even a savings account you can set up and fund immediately. I’ve never used such an amazing card. YOU WONT REGRET THIS.

Eh. I’ll make it simple, if you have issues getting a bank to accept you, this is your go to. Make sure every purchase is accurate, if you get gas and your car takes less than expected, expect to wait 3-10 days to get your money back. It doesn’t correct itself immediately instead you have to call and speak to 20 people to get your issue solved. Pros:// you don’t pay .50 to cash out with Lyft, you can get cash out for free but only at a Walgreens or another select drug store. You get cash back if you use it which is nice because it’s free money but they don’t have a customer service number you can call for problems. Just like with Lyft you are forced to request for help. I was told I’d receive a call back earlier and never got one. I then emailed them because I didn’t want to deal with someone on the phone and after 4 hours I still didn’t get a reply so I requested a call again only to be told I’d be passed on to the next person. Thank God It’s only $1.71 but I want my money. It’s a nice temporary card but isn’t something you want to count on.

Completely unexpected 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 WOW FACTOR 5 STARS!!!. To my surprise I am over the moon with Lyft ride sharing service. I was a passenger long before I became a driver and I don’t regret it one bit!!! I started driving with Lyft about three days before the Fourth of July weekend and from that point to the Fourth of July holiday I earned triple what I anticipated. But the best part is the HUMAN WOW 🤩 FACTOR!!! Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s geography, maybe it’s people fed up with sadness and conflict, but whatever the case may be I am delighted the universe aligned me with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my life. The interactions were priceless ❤️🤩🥰

Lyft Direct - Rewards and Convenience. I started using Lyft direct about two months ago. The ease of having money directly flow into your account is great, especially for folks who need it! I love getting up to 10% back on my fuel purchases with my Lyft direct debit card. It is free and the debit card is immediately available via Apple wallet if you’re on iPhone. The more I drive the more I find it is useful to have. The Lyft direct card qualifies for cash back at so many places—give it a try!

My personal take on this Lyft Debit card. I love it!!! Works perfect for me and while I am using it to pay for gas, food etc,. I am also at the same time earning cash back.. all income goes straight to the debit card and i can use it instantly as well. The only thing that I was hoping to have is a faster way to transfer money to an outside bank account which I sometimes need to do in order to pay mortgage, car payment which are normally through ach transfers only. If only the transfer is a little bit faster, this will be a totally game changer.

Lyft Direct Review. I decided to use Lyft Direct to have access to my funds right away and to have a free account to track all of my Lyft Earnings and expenses, to make taxes easier at the end of the year. They send you a debit card that you can go to any Walgreens and use their ATM to withdraw as much as you want. I also use my Lyft Debit card at the car wash and jiffy lube so that I can claim easily claim these as business expenses. Very easy to use and no glitches so far. I will continue to use this as my Lyft Driver payment method. Thanks Lyft.

Almost perfection. Great card features and service minus the fact that it can’t be used in Apple wallet to send or receive money using apple wallet but can be used to make purchases via apple wallet. Sort of makes it big headache when you need to access your money for things that you would want to use apple wallet for to send someone money for dinner or something without having to go to an ATM or wait 3 days to do a bank transfer. Otherwise I love the service but hope they add all the features that I know they could add for apple wallet that they currently won’t allow.

Lyft. This company is a great opportunity to go out and work as hard as u want no pressure just east going I was very hesitant about it but I took the time to get to know how it worked and decided to give it a shot I’m a single father of 3 and it’s hard time to time to make ends meet but being able to work when I want makes it the best I could ask for I now after a couple weeks have got myself on a regular schedule and I’m working around my children’s schedules so it’s great I would like to think Uber for this opportunity it really has made my life a lot easier. God Bless

Lyft direct is a great option for managing your pay through the driver app. Lyft direct has multiple benefits! Besides the most obvious being the option to have each ride fare sent directly to you, no waiting, no transfers fees, etc., it also is an actual bank account separate from whoever you use as your main bank. In turn this will help with building credit and managing your finances, thanks for providing this option! Oh!!! And the cash back options and rewards are always a nice perk.

Dispute. I’ve contacted them to dispute a transaction that I didn’t authorize. I called to make a payment on a account and was asked if I wanted to keep card on file and said no and they did anyways and kept charging my card anyways and also my other account . I tried explaining this to Lyft direct and lady basically rushed me off the phone and hung up on me. Her response before hanging up on me was oh I gave them my card number ok 4 months ago that’s doesn’t mean I said reoccurring payments . If there’s a issue with my account your suppose to stop it investigate and Reimburse me. I’m a single mom who need her money back I got injured at work and was doing Lyft to keep my lights on for my kids till I get better now I’m just out of 400$ I never had to deal with this and will be closing my account

This is the best app on the market for this sorta thing but co wider the name for the love of hjf. It’s simple, easy to use, you know it’s like, to the point ya know what I mean…uhhh…DIRECT! But if I had to make one note, and even though it’s insignificant and means nothing to anybody, including me by the way, but doesn’t it bother you that ‘Lyft’ is spelled with a ‘y’ but when you got to ‘Direct’ you suddenly don’t like replacing ‘i’s with (y)s anymore? I don’t care which it is either way by the way, but fix it ! It’s aesthetically nauseating and I’m gonna be sick pretty soon here if you don’t change your ways. Or maybe, please, change your name. Or consider

Very convenient. Lyft direct is a great way to get paid for your Lyft rides. The easiness of being able to switch between direct pay and express pay is convenient! When you need instant cash express pay is good and if you have money in your account and switch to direct pay, all that money is transferred from your Lyft driver app to your Lyft direct MasterCard. I enjoy having two debit cards. I also was able to set up my main bank info into the Lyft direct app so I can transfer money between the two debit accounts. Would recommend getting this!

No instant deposit available for external accounts. I find this card much more annoying than the Uber pro card due to the fact that it charges additional ATM fees for certain ATMs on top of the withdrawal fee. I also have a main bank account that I use to pay my bills and sometimes I need to have money deposited into that account, and I am not able to instantly deposit using the card. not only that but the only free ATMs are located at CVS and Walgreens so I do not have access to ATMs in early mornings or late nights if I need it. then once I pull out from the ATM I have to drive to my bank ATM to make the deposit into my account so I am not charged the fees. Today I noticed that I owe left $5.45 and fees do not charge their fees to have the money instantly deposited onto the Lyft Direct card. It also charges $4.95 in fees if you want to have money deposited onto your card.. This card is not worth all the hassle that it causes if you use a different bank or all the fees that are associated with it.

Love the rewards but need improvement.. Cash back reward is great!! I am now using this card everywhere. It took me awhile to get this card because I have been satisfied with my checking account. I now have instant access to my earnings without having to wait or pay a fee for instant payout. I now get double rewards using this card along with the uplift app. There’s room for improvement and expansion. I wish I didn’t have to pay a fee to deposit cash and there were more free atms. Also wish it was more like a checking account and I could use Zelle. I hope it only improves for the better.
