Southwest launched a promotion yesterday which is giving up to 30% off paid and award flights. That offer can potentially be stacked with a new targeted promo awarding 5,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points when flying with Southwest twice by the end of the month.
The Deal
- Earn 5,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points when flying one round trip or two one ways with Southwest.
- Direct link to registration.
Key Terms
- Earn 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points when you register, then book and fly one qualifying round trip or two qualifying one-way flights between 8:00 a.m. Central Time (“CT”) on March 3, 2025 and 11:59 p.m. CT on April 30, 2025 (the “Promotional Period”). Only the Rapid Rewards Member who received this offer from Southwest Airlines is eligible for this promotion.
- Member must register for this promotion during the Promotional Period and registration must be completed prior to booking and commencement of travel. Member’s qualifying flights must be booked through Southwest.com, the Southwest Mobile App, swabiz.com (SWABIZ), Global Distribution System (GDS), or Southwest Partner Services (SPS) distribution channels with Southwest Airlines inventory during the Promotional Period for travel during the Promotional Period.
- Member’s flights must be completed during the Promotional Period.
- Member’s Rapid Rewards account number must be entered at the time of booking Member’s qualifying flights to earn the 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points during the Promotional Period.
- If a Member books and flies more than one round trip or two one-way flights during the Promotional Period, Member will still only earn 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points under this promotion.
- A qualifying flight is a one-way revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city, including any intermediate stops and/or connections or a round trip revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city and back to the originating airport or carrier-recognized co-terminal.
- Travel booked or flown prior to registration for this promotion is not eligible for the 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points offer.
- Member will receive the Rapid Rewards bonus points within four weeks after completion of entire ticket.
- Charter flights, group travel, Companion Pass, Southwest Vacation packages, and travel booked entirely with Rapid Rewards points or Rapid Rewards business points do not qualify as a revenue flight for this promotion.
- Cash + Points bookings qualify for this promotion.
- Cash + Points bookings will earn Rapid Rewards points or Rapid Rewards business points, tier qualifying points for A-List and A-List Preferred status, and Companion Pass qualifying points on the portion of the base fare that is paid with dollars.
- Changes made to the itinerary after purchase may eliminate qualification for promotion.
- This promotion cannot be combined with any other promotion.
Quick Thoughts
Earning 5,000 bonus points after flying two one ways or a round trip is a generous return, especially if the route(s) you’ll be flying are available for low fares.
The terms state that the promo can’t be combined with any other promotion, but using the TAKE30 promo code to also save up to 30% on your ticket(s) should stack with this offer.
Note that this 5,000 bonus points promo is targeted, so if you don’t see a registration link button on the registration page once logged in to your account, it means you’re not eligible.
