Southwest Rapid Rewards promotions show up fairly regularly — fare sales with discount codes, Companion Pass campaigns, targeted cardholder bonus-spend offers, and periodic buy-points sales. Because several of these run back-to-back throughout the year and some are targeted to specific cardholders, it’s easy to miss a good one or lose track of what’s currently live. Rather than publish a new one-off post for every offer, this page tracks the current promotions and keeps a running history of past ones, so you can compare at a glance.

How Southwest Rapid Rewards Promotions Typically Work

Most Southwest promotions fall into a handful of recurring types:

  • Fare sales — discount codes (often 25-40% off base fares) valid for bookings within a set window.
  • Companion Pass campaigns — limited-time promotions offering an easier path to Companion Pass than the standard point/flight thresholds.
  • Targeted cardholder bonus-spend offers — quarterly or seasonal bonus points for Southwest Chase cardholders who hit a spending threshold.
  • Transfer bonuses — limited-time boosted conversion rates when moving Chase Ultimate Rewards points into Rapid Rewards.
  • Buy-points sales — periodic sales offering a bonus (sometimes up to 50%) on points purchased within a set window.

When Is a Southwest Promotion Actually Worth It?

Fare sales are worth checking if you already have a trip in mind, since Southwest doesn’t charge change or cancellation fees — there’s little downside to booking a discounted fare even if plans shift. Companion Pass promotions are the biggest prize in the program, since a companion flies free (taxes/fees only) on every paid or points booking for the rest of the year it’s earned plus the following year — see our guide on getting the maximum benefit from Companion Pass before chasing one of these offers.
