If you, as a SkyMiles member, are using the partnership with Lyft, you are probably doing so more out of habit than conviction: Since the start of this partnership in 2017, the SkyMiles program has devalued to such an extent that as a Lyft customer, you simply have other, more rewarding accrual options.

But by April 07 at the latest, you will be forced to change these habits, as Delta will then be exchanging its riding partner to team up with Uber. The same considerations apply here, and as with Uber’s other Frequent Flyer partnerships, collecting points will likely only be possible locally, i.e. in the USA, and possibly not even for external visitors who do not use the US version of the Uber app.
