Southwest Airlines has recently modified its Rapid Rewards program, enabling loyal customers to earn free lights quicker than ever. If you are a Southwest Airlines fan, you can use the Rapid Rewards program to collect points by purchasing either Southwest Airlines flights or partner products and later redeem those points for free flights and other travel-related products and services. The Southwest Airlines Credit Card, issued by Chase.com, makes it easier for customers to participate in this attractive Rapid Rewards program.
The new Rapid Rewards program includes unlimited rewards seats to redeem, lack of blackout dates so that customers have a wider range of choices, points that never expire enabling customers to redeem them right away or the following year, and the ability to earn points for every dollar spent. Earning points with Rapid Rewards is very easy because customers get points not only for flights purchased at Southwest Airlines, but also for purchasing partners’ products. This means that you can earn points for using your Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card to grab a snack, have a cup of coffee, stay overnight at a hotel, buy a flight ticket, and so on. And you can redeem these points for international flights, car rentals, hotel stays, cruises, gift cards, and so on.
You can apply for a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card either at the Southwest Airlines website or the Chase webpage. The card will help you earn more points than ever for purchasing Southwest Airline flights, staying at hotels, grabbing cruise vacations, purchasing gift cards, renting cars, and so on. There are many types of Southwest Airlines credit cards, and each comes with a slew of benefits.
The Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card come with an offer of 20,000 bonus points as soon as you make your first purchase with it. You will get 2 points for every dollar you spend on Southwest and its partner hotels and car rentals and 1 point for every dollar you spend on other products. You will also receive 3000 bonus points on your card member anniversary.
The Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Card comes with an offer of 30,000 bonus points on the first purchase plus 6,000 bonus points on the occasion of your card member anniversary. You can also earn a maximum 15,000 Tier Qualifying Points every year, depending on how much you spend with your card.
You can also opt for a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Business Card or a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Business Card and gain access to benefits such as free employee cards and free reporting tools in addition to all the above-mentioned benefits of bonus points.
Southwest Airlines has also partnered with Diners Club, which is a great boon for Diners Club Card holders. They can easily convert their Diners Club Card points to Rapid Rewards points and redeem them for free Southwest Airlines flights. In spite of its heavy annual fee of $69, the card is worth having, especially if you use Southwest Airlines services a lot.
