“Our Vacation Destination Giveaway is a fun way for us to engage and educate our Members about our breadth of service and our Rapid Rewards program,” said Ryan Green, Southwest’s Director of Customer Loyalty. “We will feature eight of our 69 destinations, and then give our Members a chance to win a trip to go, see, and do.”
It is fast and easy to earn free travel through Rapid Rewards. Rapid Rewards Members earn credits by flying or using the program’s Preferred Partners. It takes just eight roundtrips, or 16 credits, to qualify for an Award ticket. However, Members can accelerate their earnings by using the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase, doing business with any of the airline’s other Preferred Partners, or by purchasing Southwest’s Business Select fares when flying. Plus, once it’s earned, Southwest Airlines allows the Member to transfer the Award to anyone.
After nearly 39 years of service, Southwest Airlines continues to differentiate itself from other low fare carriers—offering a reliable product with exemplary Customer Service. Southwest Airlines is the nation’s largest carrier in terms of originating domestic passengers boarded; now serving 69 cities in 35 states.
