Southwest Airlines is making it easier for Rapid Rewards members to earn a coveted Companion Pass.
Now through November 30, 2023, Rapid Rewards members will have three ways to secure a Companion Pass even faster. The pass allows the designated individual to fly with their member free of airline charges every time the customer purchases or redeems points for a flight.
To qualify for Companion Pass, members need to fly 100 qualifying one-way flights or earn 135,000 qualifying points in a calendar year. They'll then earn the Companion Pass for the following full calendar year, plus the remainder of the year in which they earned it.
Southwest Rapid Rewards members who register for this season's promotion, purchase Southwest qualifying flights, and travel through November 30, 2023, can earn double Companion Pass qualifying points on all qualifying flights.
Meanwhile, business travelers booking through one of Southwest's business channels—swabiz.com, Global Distribution System (GDS), or Southwest Partner Services (SPS) distribution channels—can earn triple Companion Pass qualifying points per flight during the same period ending November 30, 2023.
Every flight purchased with Rapid Rewards points counts as one Companion Pass qualifying flight when customers register for this fall's promotion, purchase Southwest qualifying flights, and travel through November 30, 2023, the low-cost carrier added.
Finally, Rapid Rewards Credit Card members who register for the promotion can earn double Companion Pass qualifying points per $1 spent with their Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase, now through November 30, 2023.
"We want our customers to feel valued and appreciated for flying with Southwest," Jonathan Clarkson, Vice President of Marketing at Southwest Airlines, said in a statement.
"Whether it's flying with us on a purchased ticket, or on a reward booking, or simply by using one of our industry-leading Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase, Members now have new opportunities to accelerate their way to the highly coveted Companion Pass before the end of the year so they can start planning their 2024 travel."
