After you use your Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card to make at least $40,000 of purchases during the promotion period of 10/1/20-1/31/21 (?Promotion Period?), you will earn 30% in points as a bonus on purchases made on your Rapid Rewards Credit Card during the Promotion Period, up to 25,000 bonus points.

To secure 25,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points in 2026, you generally need to target a specific sign-up bonus or promotional offer. The most common method is applying for a Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card from Chase. While bonus offers fluctuate, a 25,000-point tier is often part of a larger "tiered" welcome offer (e.g., earn 25,000 points after spending $1,000 in three months). Alternatively, you can accumulate this amount through high-value partner activities, such as booking several "Point-Plus" hotel stays via SouthwestHotels.com, which can offer up to 10,000 points per night. You could also earn them through the Rapid Rewards Shopping portal during a "back-to-school" or holiday bonus event where spending a certain amount triggers a large lump-sum point reward. If you are a business owner, the Performance Business card often has much higher thresholds, so check the "Promotions" tab in your account for targeted "Earn 25k" challenges based on flight frequency or specific spending categories.
