2,500 Bonus Points for Southwest New Members

I've written up a short summary in my Blog. Link is below.

Here is the landing page for Southwest's 2,500 Bonus Point offer for new members.

You get 2,000 points for signing up.
You get 250 points for signing up for the Rapid Rewards Report e-mail summary.
You get 250 points for signing up for the Rapid Rewards E-mail update.

Not bad if you don't already have a Southwest account!

You're both very welcome! I'm really on the Southwest gravy train right now after scoring that Companion Pass.

Those that have signed up with this offer, did your 2000 bonus points post immediately? I signed up my brother yesterday, and his account still shows a zero balance.

The 2,000 didn't post immediately but they were there when I woke up so within 24 hours for sure. The remaining 500 points are added after you sign up for those newsletters and keep the email subscription for 3 months.

Funny, I never look at the MilesBuzz forum but since the SuperBowl was all but over, I decided to check it out. Like the OP, I am about to get the CP. Of course, I never thought to sign my family up for RR even though we just booked a trip to Denver for July, so this is very timely.

Thanks dovergator!

If they're going to give us free points - we might as well take them! I'm glad everyone has been able to capitalize on the deal!

Just unsubscribed from all SWA newsletters for 2 accounts. I guess I'm a contrarian...

What's odd is if I go to the "regular" southwest.com site, I get a similar page that offers just 250 points for new members (+250 and +250 for the other items also). Its only by following your link do I see a way to get 2000 points for new members. Is this a targeted promotion perhaps?

I'm not sure if it was targeted or not. I already have a SW account, so I'm not sure why I got the e-mail.

Guess I may as well, we'll see if I get the points and if I ever use them.
