SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lyft, one of North America's leading ride-hailing marketplaces, today announced a partnership with Prezzee, a global digital gifting company, to enhance the driver rewards experience with personalized, digital-first benefits.
Through the power of gifting and as part of Lyft's continued investment in driver appreciation, eligible drivers will receive digital gift cards that can be redeemed with top national brands, all delivered seamlessly via email.

Prezzee's borderless payment technology helps Lyft connect with drivers directly, creating memorable moments within the business. The digital rewards will be integrated into Lyft's broader loyalty and rewards program, offering drivers greater flexibility in how they are recognized.
