Sometimes complaining on Twitter really pays off—that is, if you're a Kardashian-Jenner. Late last month, Kim Kardashian mentioned on Twitter that she had to drive her half-sister Kendall Jenner all over the place because Jenner was having issues with Uber.

Ugh I have to drive @KendallJenner around tonight bc she's banned from Uber! Why @Uber?!?! She's a "model" passenger!!!!!

Now, TMZ is reporting that Uber's competitor Lyft has swooped in to gain some PR points by offering Jenner free rides for a year. You can see Jenner's reaction to the news below.

Uber and Lyft have quite a history of intense competition. In 2013-14, Uber employees booked and then cancelled over 5,500 Lyft rides as a way of messing with drivers' availability. The companies have also traded allegations of driver poaching.

It may soon be tough for Jenner to find a ride no matter how little she's paying. Her home state of California is considering tough new background restrictions on drivers for ride-hailing services. And relying on Lyft means that Jenner may miss out on getting around in a self-driving car.
