Lime

Lime is a transportation company that runs fleets of electric scooters, electric bikes, and mopeds in cities around the world, accessed via a mobile app.

The Transit Category

Lime typically codes as Local Commuter Passenger Transportation (MCC 4111), placing it firmly within the Transit or Travel category for credit card rewards.

The dedicated transit and travel card is exceptional here, earning 3x points on Transit (which explicitly includes rideshares, buses, subways, and scooters). a premium travel rewards card also earns 3x points on Travel.

If you use a premium grocery and streaming card, you will earn 3% cash back on Transit.

Loading Funds

Lime often incentivizes users to load funds into their “Lime Cash” wallet ahead of time rather than paying per ride. Reloading your wallet still codes correctly as Transit, allowing you to trigger the multiplier while taking advantage of Lime’s built-in bonuses.
