Earn Bonus Miles By Donating To Charity 

For Southwest Airlines, earn 10x points for every $1 donated to one of the charities listed above. The donation has to be at least $25 and made by May 31st 2020. The bonus points will count towards the Companion Pass. Southwest announced earlier this week that it will give all of its members 25,000 qualifying points towards the Companion Pass which means you only need 100,000 points to earn it. The Companion Pass is one of the most valuable travel perks out there. If you make a $100 donation to one of these charities, you earn 1000 points. The points should show up in your account in 45 days. Pretty sweet.
