Converting Your Southwest Travel Credits Into Points

AFAR Magazine recently published an article with the pros and cons of converting Southwest Travel credits into points:

“For anyone who has had to cancel a Southwest Airlines flight due to the coronavirus pandemic, this may be some welcome news: As of August 10, anyone with qualifying future travel credits (what Southwest refers to as travel funds) can convert them into Rapid Rewards points—as long as they do so by December 15, 2020. And the conversion rate is pretty impressive.”

You will need to be a Rapid Rewards member (you can join online) and the name must match the original ticket which must have been purchased directly from Southwest.

To get started, go to www.southwest.com/html/mkt/rapidrewardsupdates.html.
