Delta has added ride-sharing company Lyft as the newest partner in its SkyMiles program.
The airline said members who link their SkyMiles and Lyft accounts (which you can do here) will earn one mile per dollar spent on all Lyft rides – including Lyft Line, Classic, Plus and Premier rides – with no limit on the amount to be earned.
Through August 31, customers with linked accounts will earn triple SkyMiles miles on Lyft rides to or from an airport (excluding taxes, tolls and tips).

SkyMiles members who are new to Lyft and link their accounts can get up to $20 in Lyft ride credits (i.e., two $10 credits) on their first and second Lyft rides within 60 days of signing up as a new Lyft user.
The addition of Lyft marks Delta’s second “sharing economy” partnership for SkyMiles in recent months. Last fall, SkyMiles teamed up with Airbnb, letting members earn miles for stays at that vendor’s properties.

I once had my SkyMiles account down to under 1,000 miles after booking a trip to Latin America. So, all those miles I’ve earned through the years drinking Coke, eating with the dining program, and whatnot actually came in handy.
