  • That’s 48 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 or 47 bonus points on top of the 3 points already earned on Qualifying Purchases made with a Rapid Rewards Performance Business Credit Card or 49 bonus points made with any remaining Rapid Rewards Credit Cards.

  • All Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Cards are eligible.

Our Verdict

50x points back on gift cards seems like a good deal (or flights), shame it’s only up to $100 in spend.

  • My statement closed and I haven't seen the 5,000 bonus point offer attached.
    I bought a $103 flight on 6/11.
    Has anyone received your points?

    • I'm dumb. I won't be awarded the points until after I fly, I think. I should have purchased a gift card. Ugh.

  • Just want to confirm that this did indeed stack with the other two chase spending offers. Received 5700 points for the $100 GC. 2x base points, +48x for one day special, +3x promo ending june (this was 5x everywhere), +4x promo ending in august (6x total on southwest, 5x on gas/travel). Nice haul. I have so much travel credit (please bring back points conversion promo) I listed the GC for $87.

  • Took advantage of this with gift cards on my Premier Business and Priority. Thanks DoC!

  • I don't see anything stating digital wallet transactions are excluded. I can't locate my physical cards but am able to purchase via Apple Pay using the SWA app (You can add cards to Apple Pay via the Chase app.). Planing to find a $100 fare and refund as a hold for future use as a workaround to not being able to buy a gift card via Apple Pay.

  • I'm getting the "We are unable to process your transaction using the credit card provided" error... not sure what's going on. I got the email and all.

    Never mind, guess I had the old info for the card stored - added again manually and it was fine.

    • This happened to me as well, it just asked for my CVV but I didn't know it had an older exp date stored from before they replaced my card with tap version.

  • Once you buy a GC, can you add it to a SW balance, or do you have to hang on to it and use it like a card on your next booking?

  • Would I still get the bonus points if southwest refunds me for part of this purchase? I get a $75 annual credit for southwest purchase on my card so I’m going to be refunded for part of this. Do we know if those refunded dollars still count towards this?

  • Is there some kind of shipping charge on the GC? If so, is it better to try and find a $100 (or close to it) ticket to book/cancel so as to have the $100 travel funds without the shipping charge?

    • 2.95 for physical card, free for digital (email) delivery. You don't lose anything by going over. 102.95 should give you 5004 or 5006 points. Not sure how the rounding works.

  • Does anyone know how quickly these points will credit? My assumption is at the end of your cc's billing cycle but I'm not sure.
