Free* flights are just one of the many rewards waiting for you when you're a Rapid Rewards Member. And because we've made it easier than ever to earn points, you'll be enjoying those rewards even faster.
We've designed the Rapid Rewards program around a simple concept - make earning free flights faster and easier. Whether you're earning points or redeeming them for a free flight, nothing should come between you and your favorite destination.

If there is a seat available, you can redeem your points for it.

We've done away with blackout dates, which means your choices and your possibilities are now wide open.

Plan your getaway for next week or next year. Either way, it's no problem since your points no longer have an expiration date.

The amount of your fare now determines how many points you earn. And since you can also earn points with our Partners, that free flight won't be far behind.

With the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase, you can now redeem your points for international flights, cruises, hotel stays, car rentals, gift cards, and more.
The Rapid Rewards program is governed by the Rapid Rewards rules and regulations. Click below to visit the complete rules and regulations.
