If you’re willing to switch up your ride share routine for a discounted trip home, first-time Lyft users can score up to $25 off with a $15 coupon, $18 coupon, or $25 coupon.

Still, it’s a good option to have, especially if you plan on spending your New Year’s Eve bar hopping.

Once you’ve downloaded the Lyft app, you can add a discount to your account with one of the following codes:

  • $15 Coupon: “RIDERCODE15”
  • $18 Coupon: “RIDERCODE18”
  • $25 Coupon: “RIDERCODE25”

The codes only apply to first-time Lyft users, and expire after 14 days. So if you don’t plan on using your Lyft account after Jan. 1, you might want to stick with the $15 credit option.
