Is it worth it to transfer Southwest points to another person?

We value Southwest points at 1.5 cents per point, so if you're paying 1 cent per point to transfer them, you're losing more than half of what your points are worth. Instead, consider booking a flight for a friend or family member using your points to maintain their maximum value.
