The Offer

Direct Link to offer | New Link – you can try this

• Earn 5 points per $1 spent on Southwest travel purchases made with your Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card.
• Register now. Then, book travel between 8/1/2020 and 9/30/2020. You’ll receive 5 points per $1, up to $2,000 spent per month. Use all those points on future reward travel. Plus, all points count toward qualifying for Companion Pass.

It’s a bonus of 2x or 3x (depending on the card) for a total earn of 5x per $1.

Eligible credit cards: Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards® Employee Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Business Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Business Credit Card and the Southwest Rapid Rewards Performance Business Credit Card.

 

The Fine Print

• To be eligible for this offer, you must register between 8/1/2020 and 9/30/2020 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Promotion Period”).
• During the Promotion Period, you will earn a total of 5 points for each $1 spent minus returns or refunds, on up to $2,000 in total net purchases each month, directly with Southwest Airlines®, including flight, inflight, Southwest® gift card, Rapid Rewards Points Center, and on Southwest Vacations® packages (“Qualifying Purchases”).
• That’s 3 bonus points on top of the 2 points already earned on Qualifying Purchases made with the Rapid Rewards Priority, Premier, Plus or Employee Credit Cards and 2 bonus points on top of the 3 points already earned on Qualifying Purchases made with a Rapid Rewards Performance Business Credit Card.
• Qualifying Purchases made on a qualifying Rapid Rewards Credit Card during the Promotion Period are eligible for this offer.
• You’ll earn points on Qualifying Purchases, minus returns or refunds, made with your Rapid Rewards® Credit Card by you or an authorized user of the account. Delays by the merchant, such as shipping, could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period.
• The bonus points will count towards Companion Pass but will not count towards A-List or A-List Preferred qualification.
• Please allow up to 8 weeks after the end of the Promotion Period for bonus points to post to your Rapid Rewards account. To qualify for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This bonus offer is non-transferable and applies only to the account of the primary Cardmember referenced in this offer. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services. Bonus points will post directly to your Southwest Rapid Rewards® account and will not appear on your credit card statement.

Our Verdict

Looks like a public offer for all Southwest cardholders of all versions, but it does require registration. It even works on Southwest gift card purchases, though I’m not sure how much money people want to tie up on travel credit right now. Certainly worth registering if you might be making Southwest purchases anyway.

Maxed out, you can earn 20,000 points on this promo – $2k spend in August and $2k spend in September. It’s really much less than that since the bonus earn is only 2x or 3x, not 5x.

Thanks to all those who sent this in
