Update:

The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

Today, December 2, you can donate through Southwest Airlines’ Points for a Purpose and receive 10 Rapid Rewards points for every $1 donated.

Right now, Southwest is focusing on those affected by Hurricane Melissa, and there are 3 eligible partners you can donate to for earning 10x points on your contribution.

Here’s how you can help.

Southwest’s Points With a Purpose Campaign

With a minimum contribution of $25, you’ll receive 10 Rapid Rewards points per $1 donated through December 2, 2025. You can earn a maximum of 10,000 points in this offer, which comes from a donation of $1,000.

Here are the charities you can support:

American Red Cross, which provides relief and support to those in crisis
Team Rubicon, which provides disaster relief to vulnerable communities
Airlink, which supports communities in crisis through discounted airlift and logistical solutions to vetted nonprofits

You can donate here through the Points with a Purpose program.

Plus, as you earn 10x points on your donation, the partner will also receive points to help with air transportation needs.

Bonus points will be deposited into your Rapid Rewards account within 45 days of a qualifying donation.

We value Southwest Rapid Rewards points at 1.3 cents each. That means your 10x earnings represent a 13% return on your donation. Using those same numbers, 10,000 points are worth $130.

Hot Tip:

Keep in mind the points you earn through these promotions do not count toward earning Southwest elite status or earning the coveted Companion Pass.

Can You Donate Points Instead?

Southwest also offers the option to donate your Rapid Rewards points through its Points for a Purpose program. These points can help those needing air travel to escape disasters or go help in the wake of them.

There aren’t any bonuses or rewards on these donations right now. The minimum number of points you can donate is 2,000.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to donate to a worthy cause and want to help those affected by Hurricane Melissa, Southwest Airlines will give you 10x points on your donations made through the end of today, December 2, 2025. As long as you contribute at least $25, you’ll earn 10 points per $1 donated to 3 different charity partners — up to 10,000 bonus points.

Plus, the charity receiving your donation will also receive bonus points to help with air travel needs in the wake of Hurricane Melissa or other crises.
