  • Southwest is offering a 20% rebate on point bookings.
    • Book by 7/15
    • Travel by 11/20

Our Verdict

Unfortunately you get the points back after travel has been completed. Still a nice discount.

  • I registered the whole family- just in case I needed to be registered for using my points for their flights AND they needed it to get the rebate. Unfortunately, only found 1 flight that was worth changing...

  • I was targeted too. Thank goodness because these point redemptions seem so high lately.

    • Book cheaper flights. Points are tied to cash price. I've got some coming up for ~3000 points.

  • "Rapid Rewards rebate bonus points will only be earned by the person whose name appears in the Rapid Rewards account and who actually travels, regardless of who purchased or paid for the ticket. Member will not earn rebate bonus points for travel by another Southwest Customer or Rapid Rewards Member, even if the Member paid for the other person’s travel."

    Lets say you are buying tickets for 2 people. I think this means the rebate points will go on your account for your ticket and P2's account for their ticket so the rebate points will be split. Someone correct me if I'm reading this wrong.
