Hey AwardTrailblazers! Southwest's "Week of Wow" is here, and it's raining bonus points! If you're planning a quick getaway, you could snag an extra 3,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points for booking a hotel stay of two nights or more through Southwest Hotels. That's a nice boost towards your next free flight!
But the real treasure lies with cruises. Book a Carnival Cruise Line voyage through Southwest Cruises during this promotion, and you can rack up to 5,000 bonus points! These points are on top of the points you'd normally earn, so it's a great way to pad your Rapid Rewards balance.
Why does this matter? Well, these bonus points can get you closer to those free Southwest flights faster. If you have a hotel stay or cruise already on your radar, booking through Southwest's portals during the "Week of Wow" is a no-brainer. More points, more free travel – that's the AwardTrail way! Be sure to check the terms and conditions of the promotion on Southwest's website to make sure your booking qualifies!
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.
