This week is Southwest Airlines' birthday, and to honor the occasion, the airline is hosting the Wanna Get Away Day sweepstakes, which will allow participants to win up to 20 million Rapid Rewards points over the week.
Southwest will post daily giveaways online through Sunday, including cheap airfare and chances for Rapid Rewards users to earn bonus points.
Basics of deals
Travelers can first sign up to win a specific number of Rapid Rewards extra points each day, with a daily point cap. No payment is required. You must be at least 19 years old, a legal resident of the United States (excluding residents of Alaska, Florida, New York, and Rhode Island), and register online by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. CDT to take part.
Southwest has also announced two other promos thus far, one of which offers Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card holders the chance to earn bonus points.
All owners of Southwest Rapid Rewards credit cards are eligible to earn up to 10 points per dollar, up to a maximum of $500, on purchases made on the airline until Sunday. These are extra points that are added to ordinary earnings, such as:
• Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card: 2 points per $1 spent on Southwest purchases.
• Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card: 3 points for every $1 spent on Southwest purchases.
• Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card: 3 points for every $1 spent on Southwest purchases.
Additionally, if tickets are purchased by Thursday for the fall, travelers can save up to 40% off basic fares. For online reservations, use the promo code "40OFF" for travel between August 15 and December 14. Travel arrangements made by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. PDT are eligible for this offer. There are blackout dates, which include Nov. 16–27.
Please take note that the 40% discount only covers the basic ticket and excludes any applicable additional taxes or fees.
