Southwest Week of Wow: 5K Points with Hotel Stays, Double Points on Cruises and Flights, and More

Update: The registration and booking window has closed. Eligible travel must be completed by December 17, 2025.

The Southwest Week of Wow is back with a new round of promotions for Rapid Rewards members, offering double points on flights, 5,000 points on hotel bookings, double points on cruises, and up to $500 off vacation packages with Getaways by Southwest. Members can also find flights for as low as $39 or rent an SUV for as little as $54 per day, while earning the standard 600 bonus points per day.

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

Earn Double Points on Flights

This Week of Wow gives Rapid Rewards members the opportunity to earn double Rapid Rewards points on qualifying flights. You must register and book by October 6, 2025, and fly by December 17, 2025.

A qualifying flight is any flight operated by Southwest Airlines and paid with dollars, Southwest LUV Vouchers, gift cards, flight credits, or Cash + Points.

Earn or Redeem 5,000 Points on Southwest Hotels Bookings

This Week of Wow includes a promotion to earn or redeem 5,000 points when booking a hotel stay with Southwest Hotels through October 6, 2025. Eligible stays are through March 31, 2026.

Members have two options to take advantage of this promotion:

1. Book a stay of two or more nights and pay for the stay entirely with cash
2. Book a stay of any length entirely with points, using at least 100 points

Either way, you will receive 5,000 bonus points with your stay.

This offer is only valid at select hotels. Any changes to the booking will cancel the bonus points.

Double Points with Southwest Cruises

The Week of Wow also offers double Rapid Rewards points with Southwest Cruises booked by October 6, 2025. This promotion stacks with other offers, such as up to $400 in instant savings, up to 60% off, and more.

Although this offer lacks clear terms and conditions, the bonus should be applied to all points earned with any currently available cruise. Just make sure to book by October 6.

Save up to $500 off Southwest Getaways Vacation Packages

Southwest has a new Vacations by Southwest promotion for the Week of Wow. Members can save up to $250 on domestic vacation packages or up to $500 on international vacation packages booked by October 6, 2025.

This promotion also lacks detailed information. We can assume the discounts are similar to previous Southwest Vacations promotions:

• $150 off domestic packages priced between $500 and $999
• $200 off domestic packages priced between $1,000 and $1,499
• $250 off domestic packages priced at $1,500 or more
