Lyft partners with Southwest Airlines to offer bonus points. The ride services company, a competitor of Uber, is offering a new promotion for members of the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards program. Throughout the rest of the year, the airline will award Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards customers with 1,100 bonus points after taking their first ride on Lyft from one of 11 different airports served by the two companies, including McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. The new program was announced last Thursday, March 31. This is the second collaboration between the two companies. Earlier this month, Lyft offered a $15 discount off of a first time ride for Southwest customers who were not enrolled in the airlines Rapid Rewards program. That offer is also good throughout the end of the year, but cannot be combined with the new offer.
