As reported by Doctor of Credit, it is possible to get $50 off a Blacklane reservation with promo code FUTBOL26. That could come in handy for anybody who still has Blacklane credit to use on their Citi Strata Elite card for the period from January to June 30th. get $50 off a Blacklane reservation with promo code FUTBOL26. I believe this is meant to be a promotion for World Cup cities, but I understand that it may work in other US cities as well. Your mileage may vary as to whether this is targeted or limited to certain markets.
The Deal
- Get $50 off a Blacklane reservation with promo code FUTBOL26
Quick Thoughts
The Citi Strata Elite Card comes with up to $200 per year in statement credits for Blacklane. That’s divided up as:
- up to $100 in statement credits from January to June
- up to $100 in statement credits from July to December
If you haven’t yet used your Blacklane credit for this half of the year, this promo code should make it possible for you to get a ride that would ordinarily cost $150 for nothing out of pocket. As a reminder, Blacklane is a chauffeur service, sort of like Uber, but for a more white-glove type service. Generally speaking, it’s more expensive than Uber, although between the promo code and the statement credit from the Strata Elite, you could probably save some over what a similar Uber would cost. I find this most useful for airport drop-offs and pick-ups, although in some cities, you can almost use it as an Uber replacement, as you can order a Blacklane from one location to another in a city like New York.
According to Doctor of Credit, a Blacklane reservation does not finalize the charge until after you’ve completed the ride, so if you haven’t used your January to June credit yet, you’ll need to use it on a ride that you complete before June 30th. Therefore, this code would probably be most useful if you have a near-term need for a ride. On the other hand, if you’ve already used your credit for this half of the year, maybe it is possible to apply this code to a booking for the July-to-December period and use it in conjunction with that credit, since the charge will presumably be finalized later? I’m not sure what the end date for this promo code is meant to be.
When you take Blacklane, everything is included in the cost, so there’s no expectation of an additional tip. Hopefully, some readers are able to make use of this discount.

Just to chime in, I believe Nick is incorrect about needing to complete the ride by June 30th.
I booked a Blacklane last December for a ride in January. The Strata Elite $100 credit was received on the first statement following the completion of the ride in January, but the credit was identified as being for the 2nd half of 2025. So for the purposes of crediting, the booking date and not ride date seems to be what matters.
Similarly, if you have already used your credit for the first half of this year, booking for a ride in July or later would likely not trigger the 2nd half of the year credit. So wait to book until July 1st or later if you want to use the 2nd half of the year credit.
Just used it to book an airport ride in Raleigh so not limited to world cup cities
