What Do You Need to Do?

First, you need to sign-up for a Southwest Rapid Rewards account. You can do that via this link here. Once you do that, you are going to have to fly to earn the bonus points.

To earn the points, it comes in two stages. Book and fly one round trip or two one-way flights before May 31, 2021. This first step will net you 3,000 Rapid Rewards points. Next, you also must book and fly a second roundtrip or two more one-way flights before May 31 as well. This will earn you the additional 2,000 Rapid Rewards points.

The important things to remember are this – you must sign-up for an account, book, and fly between April 1 and May 31. Also, these have to be paid flights – award flights will not count.

This is like earning around a $70 bonus on the points earned from this promo so if you have some travel in mind, check the various flight comparisons because you may just come out a bit ahead by taking advantage of this Southwest promotion for new members!
