Say “hello” to a great Award travel option for Rapid Rewards Members—Freedom Awards! Rapid Rewards Members can convert two valid, roundtrip Rapid Rewards Standard Awards into one Freedom Award with the following benefits:

Freedom Awards are not subject to seat restrictions on Southwest Airlines® flights! Freedom Awards have limited holiday blackout dates! (See list below.)

To convert your Standard Awards into a Freedom Award, you can log in to your MySouthwest^® account and select the “Convert Awards” option, which is located under the “Awards” section of the left margin toolbar.

When converting two valid, roundtrip Standard Awards into a Freedom Award, the two valid, roundtrip Standard Awards must come from the same Member’s account. Awards from two or more separate accounts cannot be combined for a Freedom Award. Once you complete the conversion process, your Freedom Award will be deposited immediately into your account and be ready for use.

When converting to a Freedom Award, you will have one of two options:

1. For free, you can combine two valid, roundtrip Standard Awards to create a Freedom Award that will bear the expiration date of the earliest expiring Standard Award. (e.g., if your Standard Awards used for the Freedom Award bear the expiration dates of March 1, 2010, and July 1, 2010, your new Freedom Award would bear the expiration date of March 1, 2010.)
2. For a $50 fee, you can opt to combine two valid, roundtrip Standard Awards and receive a Freedom Award that is valid for 12 months from the date of Award conversion.

Once two valid, roundtrip Standard Awards have been converted to one Freedom Award, the Rapid Rewards Award conversion cannot be reversed, i.e., Rapid Rewards Members cannot convert one Freedom Award to two Standard Awards.

All Rapid Rewards rules and regulations apply.
