Southwest Airlines has launched a Points for a Purpose Holiday Promotion offering its Rapid Rewards Members a special incentive to increase their giving impact by donating to select nonprofits starting Dec. 1, 2023, and running through Dec. 14, 2023.
This promotion allows customers to donate cash (a minimum of $25) to one of the airline's nonprofit partners while earning points. For every dollar donated, customers will earn 10 Rapid Rewards points, and Southwest will match the number of points in the nonprofit's account.
Southwest Airlines invests in community partnerships that drive community impact and applauds these organizations and their relentless commitment to serving its communities.
Categories and nonprofits included in this promotion:
“This promotion is an opportunity for us to partner with our Customers and Employees in support of nonprofit organizations that are making a difference,” said Laurie Barnett, Vice President of Corporate Reputation at Southwest Airlines. “We know our customers love the Rapid Rewards Program and the holidays are a great time to put purpose behind giving.”
Rapid Rewards account information is required to sign up. Points will be reflected in the customer’s Rapid Rewards account within 45 days after a donation has been made, with a maximum earn limit of 10,000 points. Rapid Rewards bonus points do not count toward A-List, A-List Preferred, or Companion Pass qualification.
