Rapid Rewards points can be redeemed for Wanna Get Away fares at a rate of 60 points for each $1 of fare price. You will qualify for and receive your bonus points after your first purchase. First purchase does not include using your account for balance transfers or cash advances, or using any checks that access your account. After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus points to post to your Rapid Rewards account. To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards personal Cardmembers. Previous and existing Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards personal Cardmembers are not eligible for this bonus offer.

You will earn 2 points for each $1 of net purchases made directly with Southwest Airlines, including flight, inflight, southwestgiftcard, Jackpot Deals, and Southwest Airlines Vacations package purchases, and at participating Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Hotel and Rental Car Partners. You will earn 1 point for each $1 of all other net purchases. Each year, you will receive 3,000 points after your Anniversary. ("Anniversary" is the date that is twelve months after your enrollment date, and the same date each twelve months thereafter.) You will also earn 1 point for each $1 of balance transfers for the first 90 days from your enrollment date in the program. You do not earn points on balance transfers after the first 90 days from your enrollment date in the program, cash advances, cash-like charges such as travelers checks, foreign currency, and money orders, any checks that are used to access your account, overdraft advances, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including fees for products that protect or insure the balances of your account. Maximum point accumulation on balance transfers is 10,000 points during the first 90 days, which equates to $10,000 in balance transfers. There is no maximum number of points that you can accumulate on net purchases. See Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Program Rules and Regulations, which will be mailed after your account is established.
