I need to add a payment method to my Lyft account . Lyft won't let me because I already have 9 payment methods but they are old and no longer work how do I delete old payment methods

To delete old payment methods from your Lyft account, open the Lyft app and go to the "Payment" section in your account settings. From there, you can view your current payment methods. Select the payment method you want to remove, and look for the option to delete or remove it. If the app indicates that you have too many payment methods, make sure to delete the old ones you no longer use to make space for a new payment method.

If you can't update your debit card, ensure that all card details are correctly entered and the card is valid for online transactions. Ensure the card hasn't expired or been blocked by your bank. Try restarting the app or using a different network connection. If the problem persists, you may need to check for any app updates or reinstall the Lyft app.
