Southwest offering 25% off award tickets
Southwest Airlines is offering a 25% discount on newly booked Rapid Rewards award flights when using promotion code POINTS25:
- This is valid for bookings made through December 19, 2024
- This is valid for travel between January 7 and March 5, 2025; for international, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii flights, it’s even valid through May 22, 2025
- This is valid for Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares, which are Southwest’s two most affordable fare bundles; however, only select flights qualify, so you’ll have to do a search to see if the flight you’re interested in is eligible
- This is valid for travel to anywhere Southwest flies, including domestically and internationally; the only exception is that flights involving Orange County (SNA), as well as inter-island Hawaii flights, don’t qualify
- You must use promotion code POINTS25 at the time that you search for flights, and then you’ll see the discounted price reflected
- Continental US travel is blacked out February 13, February 14, and February 17
- Outbound travel for international, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii flights is blacked out February 13 through February 16, and March 7 through April 9; return travel in those markets is blacked out February 21 through February 23, and March 14 through April 27
Ugh, I’m really getting old, because I had to look up what “girl math” is…
This promotion is a great opportunity
Rapid Rewards is a revenue based program, and you generally get the same value for your points, regardless of how you redeem. So being able to redeem 25% fewer points for the same award is a great value, making this the ideal time to redeem.
Even if you’re not sure you’ll be able to travel, keep in mind that Southwest has no change or cancelation fees, so you can always book a ticket now, and then cancel it later, and have your Rapid Rewards points redeposited. Similarly, if you already have a ticket booked for travel over an eligible period, it could be worth checking to see if you can rebook it now and save some points.
Bottom line
Southwest Airlines has launched a lucrative sale, whereby you can save 25% on the cost of Southwest award flights by using promotion code POINTS25. For those with Rapid Rewards points, this is an ideal opportunity to maximize your points, since you’ll get more value per point than usual.
Will you be using this Southwest fare sale to save on a flight?
