Hey Award Trailblazers! Southwest is giving you a little holiday gift: a bonus of 1,000 Rapid Rewards points when you spend $200 or more through their shopping portal between December 1st and December 6th. This is a pretty easy win if you're already planning on doing some online shopping. Just make sure you click through the Southwest Rapid Rewards Shopping portal before you hit up your favorite retailers. Why does this matter? Well, every little bit helps, especially when you're chasing the Companion Pass (allowing a companion to fly free with you) or trying to top off your account for an award flight. 1,000 points might not seem like much, but it can be the difference between snagging that last seat at the lowest fare or having to pay more. Plus, you're earning regular points on your purchases *on top* of the bonus, so it's a double dip of rewards! Get shopping!
