Check Your Southwest Promotions For A 30% Bonus!

Check your promotions now to see if you were targetted for a 30% bonus spend offer. If you were, congrats! You will earn a 30% points bonus on all your purchases on your Southwest credit card from August to October as long as you spend at least $6,000. If you have any big purchases coming up or if you are trying to collect points, this might be a good promotion for you. 

Here's how it works:

• login to your Southwest.com account, 
• click on promotions, see if you were targetted. I was targetted, my husband was not. 
• click on register. 

You need to register between July 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020. 

The purchase points and the bonus points will count towards the companion pass. The companion pass is the best deal in travel. It is 2 for 1 flights for you and a companion for the year you earn the pass and the following year. To earn the pass, you need to collect 125,000 points in a single calendar year. There are a number of ways you can do this, we explore the options here. 

This is how the promotion will play out. For each month August - October that you spend at least $2,000 on your credit card, you will earn a bonus 30% points or an additional 600 points. 

If you spend this anyway, it's FREE bonus points. If you don't, but you have big purchases coming up or you are collecting points towards the companion pass or future travel, then every point helps. 

If you do not have a Southwest credit card yet, use this link to get a 40,000 point bonus when you apply and spend $1,000 on your new card. We look at the pros and cons of each Southwest card here.
