So, You Want to Ditch Your Lyft Credit Card? We've All Been There...
Let's face it, sometimes relationships fizzle out. Maybe you found a new love (ahem, a more rewarding credit card with better points), or maybe your Lyft spending is getting a little out of control (those late-night "treat yourself" rides can add up!). Whatever the reason, you've decided to hit the brakes on your Lyft credit card romance. But fear not, lovelorn rider, because breaking up with Lyft is easier than you think (and definitely less awkward than a public breakup scene).

But First, a Word of Caution: Don't Be That Rider Who Ghosts Lyft (It's Not Cute)
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, a public service announcement: Leaving your default payment method MIA is a recipe for disaster (and potential embarrassment). Imagine rolling up to your fancy date's place, only to have your ride cancelled because Lyft can't find your payment info. Not. A. Good. Look. So, make sure you have at least one other payment method linked to your account before you say goodbye to your old friend.

Okay, Now Let's Get Down to Business: How to Un-Lyft Your Credit Card
Here's the play-by-play on giving your Lyft credit card the boot:
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.![]()
- Open the Lyft app. (This might be the hardest part. We all know the siren song of a spontaneous Lyft ride.)
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the top left corner to open the menu.
- Select "Payment." This is where the magic (or should we say, the money-saving?) happens.
- You'll see a list of your payment methods. Find the credit card you're ready to say goodbye to and tap on it.
- Look for the "Delete card" button. It might be hiding, but trust us, it's there. Tap it with the confidence of a thousand warriors.
- Confirm your decision. Lyft might try to guilt-trip you with a message like, "Are you sure you want to leave? We'll miss you!" But stay strong, young padawan.
And voila! Your Lyft credit card is a thing of the past. You've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of app breakups, emerging victorious (and potentially richer, depending on your new credit card situation).

Bonus Tip: Celebrate Your Freedom (Responsibly)!
Treat yourself to something nice with the money you'll save on unnecessary Lyft rides. Maybe a home-cooked meal (it's cheaper and way more impressive than late-night takeout) or a night in with a good book (because who needs a spontaneous adventure when you have the comfort of your own couch, right?).
