Benefits of Rapid Rewards

As a Rapid Rewards Member, you earn points by flying or spending with our partners. Use them how and when you want. Plus, if you’re short on points, you can always purchase more to get that reward you’ve been eyeing.

 

Redeem for flights and more.

Rapid Rewards Members can redeem their points for flights through Southwest®, and for gift cards, merchandise, hotel stays, rental cars, and exclusive Cardmember experiences through the  Southwest More Rewards program. The sky really is the limit!
With Cash + Points2, Rapid Rewards Members can combine Points and other eligible forms of payment to purchase flights. Starting January 1, 2025, Cash + Points bookings will earn Rapid Rewards points, tier qualifying points for A-List or A-List Preferred status or Companion Pass qualifying points.
