Your upcoming flights with Southwest just got a lot more rewarding. Southwest Airlines is offering 2x Rapid Rewards points on flights booked and flown by July 1, 2026.

However, you’ll need to enroll in the promotion first and book your flights by Sunday, April 12, 2026 — just a few days from now.

Let’s take a closer look at everything you need to know about this new Southwest promotion.

Double Points on Flights Promotion Details

To take full advantage of this double points promo, you’ll need to first register.

The booking window for this promo is available through April 12, 2026. Flights booked during that period must be flown and completed by July 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. CT.

If you book and fly within the promotion’s eligible dates to earn double Rapid Rewards points on cash fares, you’ll score an easy way to supercharge your points on your next Southwest trip. There’s no cap on the number of points you can earn, which is great for those who take multiple qualifying flights.

To qualify, you must book your flights directly with Southwest, either online, in the mobile app (iOS, Android), or through swabiz.com. Bookings through third-party channels and bookings made using points aren’t eligible for this offer.

However, flights paid for with LUV Vouchers, gift cards, flight credits, and a mix of points and cash are eligible. If you book a points + cash fare, you’ll earn double points on the portion of your flight you paid for. You won’t earn points on the portion of the ticket covered by your Rapid Rewards points.

Both one-way and round-trip reservations are eligible for double Southwest points in this offer.

Unfortunately, existing reservations aren’t eligible for this offer. If you have existing flights for travel between now and July 1, 2026, it could be worth utilizing Southwest’s friendly cancellation policy and then booking a new flight for extra points — assuming the price didn’t go up so much that it negates any extra points you’d earn by doing this.

Hot Tip:

Earn even more points on your Southwest flights when you pay with a credit card that earns bonus rewards on airfare.

Final Thoughts

Southwest’s latest promotion makes travel even more rewarding. You can earn an unlimited number of extra points, thanks to double rewards on flights through July 1, 2026.

If you’re interested in this offer and have travel plans coming up, remember to register first. You also need to book by April 12, 2026, which is coming soon, so don’t delay.
