$1000 Lyft driver bonus for new drivers – now in San Francisco + New York City. Up to $750 in other cities.
Last year, a $1000 was offered in Boston but has not come back since then. Bonuses for other cities have been on the rise too – now up to $750 for many cities (listed below). No Car? Lyft will give you one and pay for it if you do a minimum number of rides. Lyft changes their bonus offers frequently!

This offer won't be as easy as the $1,000 promotion which required only 1 ride, but I doubt that offer will ever return. Do you plan to sign up? Questions? Ask in the comments below.
if anybody used my driver referral code(input on application page, last box) it’s code: adam9217
it is hard to complete rides on lyft, best bet is to have friends sign up, 2 rides max per person per ride requirement, you can just start and end ride for minimum fare, you also get $10 per referral and their frist ride will be either $20 free or 5 rides at $10 free.
