Redemption options and restrictions
Your points don't expire, a benefit of the Rapid Rewards program. Redeem your points for flights, hotel stays, car rentals, gift cards, access to exclusive events, and merchandise. Companion Pass Qualifying Points: Companion Pass qualifying points are earned from revenue flights booked through Southwest, points earned on Rapid Rewards Credit Cards, and base points earned from Rapid Rewards partners. The following do not count as Companion Pass qualifying points: purchased points; points transferred between Members; points converted from hotel and car loyalty programs, e-Rewards, Valued Opinions, and Diners Club; points earned from Rapid Rewards program enrollment, tier bonus points; flight bonus points; and partner bonus points (with the exception of the Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase). No points nor tier or Companion Pass qualifying points will be awarded for flights taken by the Companion when flying on a Companion Pass reservation. Points earned during a billing cycle on a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase are not available for redemption or qualification for Companion Pass status until they are posted on your billing statement and posted to your Rapid Rewards account. Only points posted on your billing statements and posted to your Rapid Rewards account during the same calendar year are available for qualification for Companion Pass status. For example, if you make a purchase after your December billing statement cycle date, the points on those purchases will not count toward Companion Pass status in the year the purchase was made; they will appear on your January billing statement and post to your Rapid Rewards account in January. Companion Pass Qualifying Points Boost: As a Southwest Rapid Rewards Cardmember, you will earn one boost of 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying points each calendar year. The boost will be deposited into your eligible Rapid Rewards account by January 31st each calendar year or up to 30 days after account opening. To receive Companion Pass qualifying points boost your credit card account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Only one credit card account per Southwest Rapid Rewards Member (Rapid Rewards Member must be the primary Cardmember on that account), is eligible for one boost of 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying points per calendar year. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services.

Your call

Before you apply for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card

  1. This card records an annual fee. Compare the value of benefits you will genuinely use against that recurring cost and a no-fee alternative.
  2. For travel rewards, test the redemption you would actually book. Portal restrictions, transfer availability and taxes can change the value of points.
  3. Treat an eligible welcome offer as first-year value only, separately from ongoing rewards. Review spend requirements and account eligibility.
  4. Compare the current purchase APR and consider how reliably you can pay the statement balance in full. Interest can outweigh rewards.
