Southwest Airlines is offering 3,000 bonus points when spending on your Southwest credit card over the next few weeks.

You do need to register for this promotion — and must have a Southwest Airlines credit card — so let’s check out the details.

6x Bonus Points on Southwest Credit Cards

There’s a new targeted Southwest promotion offering an opportunity to earn 3,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points after spending at least $1,000 on Southwest cards through March 31, 2025.

Registration is required.

Here are the details:

Earn 3,000 bonus points after spending at least $1,000 on your Southwest Airlines co-branded credit card.
Purchases must be made between February 1 and March 31, 2025.
Registration is required by March 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. CT. Purchases made earlier during the promotion window will retroactively count if you register by the deadline.
Bonus points count toward Southwest Companion Pass qualification but not towards Southwest elite status.
The following will not earn bonus points: balance transfers, cash advances, traveler’s checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or other cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, racetrack wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, any fees including the annual fee.
Earned bonus points will be posted to your Southwest account (they will not appear on your credit card statement) within 8 weeks of the promotion end date.

If you spend exactly $1,000 to earn the 3,000 bonus points, you’ll come away with $39 worth of points, based on our valuation of Southwest points at 1.3 cents apiece. You’ll also earn points on the spending, furthering your return on the spending.

Hot Tip:

You can buy a lot more than flights from Southwest. You should earn bonus points on inflight purchases, paying for early boarding, and more.

Southwest Credit Cards
