How to Delete a Credit Card from Lyft in the iPhone App

Whether you want to use a different payment method such as Apple or Android pay, Venmo, PayPal, etc., or you want to add a new credit card, learning how to change the current payment method in Lyft isn’t difficult.

But, before we jump into it, it’s important to clarify that Lyft won’t let you delete a credit card that you’ve selected as a default payment method. In that case, you’ll first have to add a new credit card or select another payment method, make it the default method, and then delete the old one. We’ll walk you through both processes.

Follow the steps below to delete a credit card from Lyft:

1. Open the Lyft app.
   
2. Tap the three lines at the top of the screen to open the menu.
   
3. Tap “Payment.”
   
4. Select the credit card you want to delete and tap “Delete card.”
   

If you don’t see this option, it’s most likely because the card you’re trying to delete is your default payment method. To be able to delete it, you’ll need to choose another payment method and make it the default one. Here’s how to add a new credit card:

1. Open the Lyft app.
   
2. Tap the three lines.
   
3. Tap “Payment.”
   
4. Tap “Add credit card.”
   
5. Enter the credit card information.

3. Tap “Payment.”
   
4. Tap and hold the credit card you want to delete and press “Delete card.”
   

You may find this option isn’t available to you, or you don’t see it at all. This is usually because you want to delete a credit card that already has been selected as your default payment method. Lyft won’t let you delete it until you choose another method to replace it.
