What are your favorite ways to earn Southwest points?
This is so informative. I didn't know southwest had a credit card. But thats probably because I've never flown before.
Thanks for this such good tips and that Southwest has a credit card is awesome. I like the fact that you highlighted we don’t have to fly to earn these points and by doing every day activities we can earn points especially eating at restaurants! do you know of anything similar in Australia? Awesome video btw
Awesome travel hacks. It’s effective even during lockdown as many points can be collected from home. Most of these also give bonus to first timers which adds to the points. Pro tips in between are awesome.
Wow! 12,000 points for ordering flowers. Go eat, go shopping, go traveling, drink wine 🥰,.. you are speaking all my languages. I love cruising too.
I aim to get rewards with my credit cards. These are awesome tips. I need to invest more in Southwest. I do own several shares of stock. I will look into their card.
I typically fly American or United. Wow.. didn't know about companion pass. I thought that ended. Great tips. I will look into a business card.
We don't have this kind of point system in the UK, but If they did I would apply as this is a great way to save money specially if you can use a credit card
Wow two years free travel is definitely something I am looking forward to I hvnt heard of this but definitely gonna look more into the points needed Thnk you
Wow! All of these card deals are amazing. I took advantage of the Chase SouthWest cards some years ago. I had no idea that there were so many ways to get points added to your account other than having the SW Card or flying SW. Wow! I definitely saving the Pro Tip for companion Travel. Excellent Tips.
Do we have these options in UK?
Need to check that.
Indeed v informative vide
Southwest was always a go to but after last Christmas travelling with my autistic toddler and missing my flight Southwest left me in the cold causing my travel and other documents to be stolen I am never travelling with them again. The Ticket agent didn't even try to help she gave me an attitude I began to wonder if it was because I was black. Great tips for all those who choose to travel with them it is always good to get a free flight.
You have a lot of information, I have been looking for an airline card, and with all of the perks they have I may have to go with southwest.
I live in Canada, but this is super insightful! I'm shocked at how many different ways there are to earn points. I wish we had more points programs + couponing here like they do in the US, it's not nearly as crazy and I don't travel nearly enough to justify getting into it, but these are amazing tips. ❤
Wow these are all great tips thanks to you I’ll be racking up the Southwest points thanks for sharing 😊
These were great tips …first time learning that we can get all points for this..this is something i didn't know. Thank you for this video
I needed to hear this. Been trying to see what’s the best option to gain points! ❤️❤️❤️
I just recently thought about looking into flying points. It would be nice to go to Hawaii but we live in GA and each ticket would be close to $2000. I need to sign up for a southwest credit card.
Commenting again cause idk if my last comment posted! Anyway, this was a very informative video. I hear people talk about miles and points but I really didn’t know what that meant. Me and my friends recently got into flying and we want to take a trip to Talum so I’m definitely going to take your advice. I’m excited!
I had no idea that these cards had such amazing rewards. I do not travel enough, however this would give me incentive just to get out and cross destinations off of my bucket list. I am sure now the opportunity to earn more will increase since we have been somewhat halted for travel due to the pandemic. Just taking a survey is easy enough to earn points!
Random note: I love Vons. I was so impressed with the cost and freshness of the food when I went to California with my mom in 2019.
But these are great tips that people should be doing now to stack up points for when travel is back to 100%.
These are such great tips! I don't usually travel Southwest but when I do I love it! My friend is an avid SW traveler, I'll def pass on these tips to her! Thanks for sharing!
These are great tips, wish we had a scheme like this in the UK. Great excuse to send yourself flowers 💐 🙂
I would love to go on a ski day adventure to earn points! Either that or maybe whitewater rafting. We haven't been skiing in a few years though and are itching to get on the slopes. Thank you for all these great tips and travel hacks for getting more points!
I dont even know what is southwest points😫 you just introduce it to me in this video😂 thanks for sharing i learn new stuff
Wow! I love that you can still earn points in today's climate…when so many people are cautious of flying this is awesome! Flowers, groceries, car rentals and gas….great tips here!
Marathon gas station never heard of that but I need to start filling up there..Gonna check out the shopping portal and all I want to start earning points.. rocket miles gonna keep that in mind..
I have 900 I just want to get to 2000 before summer
Not sure how the first 2 tips relate to Southwest. Please explain. For eg. How will Southwest know that I bought gas from Marathon?
I booked two flights before using the app and still haven’t gone on the flights, is there any way to get the points for those flights?
