Southwest Week of Wow: 10X Points on Southwest Purchases, Million-Point Giveaway, and More

Southwest is back with a new round of promotions for Rapid Rewards members — and they’re worth a look if you’re planning a trip (or just dreaming of one). For a limited time, you can earn up to 10x points on Southwest purchases, 5x points on hotel bookings (or a 5k-point discount), and even enter a million-point sweepstakes.

Here’s a rundown of the current deals — and how to make the most of them.

Score 10X Points on Southwest Purchases

Now through June 9, 2025, Southwest credit cardholders can score a whopping 10 points total per dollar spent on Southwest purchases. This offer is capped at $500 in total purchases. If you hit that cap, you'll earn a total of 5,000 points on these purchases. To be eligible, you'll need to register and use your Southwest credit card to complete your purchase by June 9, 2025.

Eligible purchases include flight, inflight, Southwest gift card, Southwest Vacations or Getaways by Southwest purchases, and Southwest packages.

Earn 5X Points on Southwest Hotels Bookings or Take 5K off Redemptions

Southwest is offering not one but two hotel promotions if you book or redeem points through its branded portal by June 9, 2025.

• Earn 5X points on new cash bookings: Southwest is awarding 5x points on stays of three or more nights.
• Save 5,000 points on hotel bookings made with points: If you make a reservation using only Rapid Rewards points, you can take 5,000 points off the total. You'll see a strikethrough in the price if your stay is eligible for this discount.

For both promotions, you'll need to book by June 9 and complete your stay by November 30, 2025.
