Heads up, Southwest Rapid Rewards fans! The ever-popular Week of Wow is back, bringing a fresh batch of deals to help you rack up points and save money.

So, what's on offer? You can snag 5,000 bonus points on hotel stays, double points on cruises (hello, relaxation!), and up to $500 off vacation packages through Getaways by Southwest. Plus, keep an eye out for flights as low as $39 and ridiculously cheap SUV rentals (starting at just $54 a day) – and don't forget the standard 600 bonus points per rental day.
Why should you care? If you've been eyeing a Southwest getaway, now's the time to book. These deals can save you a bundle and get you closer to that free flight or other Rapid Rewards perk you've been dreaming of. Just make sure to check the terms and conditions before booking!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
