With Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards, the more you fly, the more you earn. After taking just 8 roundtrips (or after earning 16 credits) in 24 consecutive months, you'll automatically get a standard flight free, anywhere Southwest Airlines flies! You can earn even faster when you choose a Business Select fare with priority seating, security lane access, a premium beverage coupon, and double (2.0) credits on flights greater than 750 miles, or 1.25 credits on flights less than 750 miles.
You can also earn Awards fast through our Credit Card, Rental Car, Hotel, Dining, and Retail Preferred Partners. Simply check out our Preferred Partner page to find out the latest news and learn more about the earning details of each Partner.
The only thing easier than earning credits is redeeming them for your free flight. After earning 16 credits in 24 consecutive months, we'll automatically deposit a Rapid Rewards Standard Award in your account. Or convert two Standard Awards into one Freedom Award - an Award with few blackout dates and no seat restrictions. Learn how to book your reservation using your free Award.
With your own MySouthwest® account, you can track your credits to see how close you are to earning a free flight. And because Rapid Rewards® is all about sharing the LUV, we make it easy to transfer your Awards to friends and family. Just get the destination, travel dates, and flight times from the lucky person who will be using your Award, and login or call Customer Support Services to book the Award travel.
Southwest Airlines helps you stay connected--with family, with friends, and with us. Rapid Rewards E-mail Updates are the best way to get the latest news, exclusive offers, and information about Southwest Airlines and Rapid Rewards. And with the Rapid Rewards Report, a monthly e-mail containing your Rapid Rewards account balance, program news, and Rapid Rewards Preferred Partner offers, you'll get the most of your Rapid Rewards membership.
At Southwest Airlines, flying more always gets you more. Fly 32 or more qualifying one-way flights within a 12-month period, and it will even get you on the exclusive A-List, where you'll enjoy some very nice perks. Earn 100 credits within a 12-month period, and receive a Companion Pass that lets one person of your choice fly free for an entire year when traveling with you! Choose carefully. That's a lot of flight time.
