1,000 Southwest Rapid Reward points—for new enrollments

 

Southwest has a new enrollment promotion that gives Texas Rangers fans new members 500 Bonus Points for enrolling in Rapid Rewards. Opt in to receive both Rapid Rewards e-mail communications (Rapid Rewards Report e-mail summary and The Rapid Rewards E-mail Update), stay subscribed for at least three months, and then 500 Bonus Points will be deposited automatically into your account. Points don’t expire as long as you have flight or partner earning activity every 24 months.

The previous new enrollment offer was for 750 points (250 for enrolling, 500 for email communications).

Southwest's Rapid Rewards program is points-based. You can make the most of your points redemption by selecting a low-priced Wanna Get Away fare (60 points=$1), therefore a $100 would cost 6,000 points. This means there is great value in booking an award flight while Southwest is having a sale or if you are traveling a short (cheap) distance. Of course, Southwest destinations are pretty much limited to domestic travel at this time, but that may change soon.
