Southwest's “Week of Wow” promotion for Rapid Rewards<\/a> members is continuing with new offers. Currently, you can earn double points on flights, save on flights and car rentals, and earn bonus points on hotel stays.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick rundown of the current offers and how to make the most of each one.<\/p>\n

Save up to $500 on Getaways by Southwest Vacation Packages<\/span><\/h2>\n

Finally, you can save up to $250 on domestic vacation packages and up to $500 on 5-night international vacation packages<\/a> with Getaways by Southwest. You'll also enjoy two free checked bags. These savings are based on two-person, five-night stays and will be automatically shown in the package price when booking.<\/p>\n

Although this is advertised with Week of Wow promotions, the terms and conditions don't state an end date for booking or an eligible travel window. It only says a one-day advance purchase is required and that blackout dates may apply to hotel offers.<\/p>\n

If you'd like to take advantage, we recommend booking sooner rather than later, as there's no guarantee this promotion will last longer than the others.<\/p>\n

Earn 3K Bonus Points on Southwest Hotels Bookings<\/span><\/h3>\n

Through 11:59 p.m. CT on September 21, 2026<\/strong>, Southwest is offering 3,000 bonus points on eligible hotel bookings. If you want to use your Rapid Rewards points on your booking, you can get a 3,000-point discount.<\/p>\n

To earn these bonus points, you\u2019ll need to book an eligible stay through the Southwest Hotels promo page<\/a> and complete it by September 30, 2027. The catch is that this bonus is only available for hotels marked with a bonus badge.<\/p>\n

The promotion doesn\u2019t apply to stays that are partially or fully canceled, so you\u2019ll need to complete the booking as planned to earn the 3,000 points. Southwest also doesn\u2019t clarify whether you can use this offer more than once, so results may vary if you book multiple qualifying stays.<\/p>\n
