15% bonus points promotion
 
Just saw this in my RR account promotions:

Register to earn up to 15,000 bonus points this year.
When you have at least 25,000 points post to your Rapid Rewards® account between 2/1/19 and 4/30/19 under the category of 'Credit Card', you'll be eligible for a 15% bonus (up to 15,000 bonus points*). For example, if you have 9,000 points from your Rapid Rewards Credit Card post to your account each month during February, March, and April, you'll earn 4,050 bonus points from Southwest.Those 4,050 bonus points will count toward Companion Pass, too!



Gotta ramp up those CC charges...

isaac.chambers Jan 15, 2019 10:15 am

I got 35,000 points required to get the bonus...thats a very high threshold....over 10k a month with a bit of bonused spend....but i dont think i will make that level of spend. I think this wont be useful for me.

steved5480 Jan 15, 2019 10:31 am

For those that stumble-along and ask:

The 15% bonus points will count towards Companion Pass qualification, but will not count toward A-List or A-List Preferred qualification.

Same here, as my monthly spend would easily qualify for this. They know that, why give out likely free points?

They probably send these to people who spend $500 a month on the CC. :D

This was my offer - only 10,000

Earn 15% bonus points

Interesting, my offer was +2,000 CPQP with $4,000 in spend by 3/31/19. The offer wasn't in the "Promotions" tab but on my "Snapshot". $4k in 2.5 months should be fairly easy but none of that spend will really move the needle for me.

MrsWLV Jan 15, 2019 5:42 pm

I have the 35,000 points posted offer with at 15% bonus.

SAPMAN Jan 15, 2019 6:34 pm

I see nothing. Also nothing in Snapshot.

Is this under Rapid Reward (top heading) / Promotions??? . All I get is Redeem Points for Play and Packages. Or is there another way to reach the correct page?

I just got my RR Credit card 5 weeks ago, so maybe too new to Credit Card??

As I spend $5-8 K per month, this would be a good deal for me?

darthbimmer Jan 15, 2019 6:43 pm

Yay, I got an offer! But boo, mine requires earning 25k CC points in 3 statements to collect the bonus. While my three biggest earnings from monthly CC spend over the past 24 months would hit such a target, the highest total for any three consecutive statements has been 24k. I wonder how little of a coincidence that is.

chuckworth Jan 15, 2019 7:39 pm

Received the 25k threshold requirement to get the 15% bonus points.

ursine1 Jan 15, 2019 7:40 pm

Same here. We charge a fair amount on the card but 35,000 ain't gonna happen.

Reindeerflame Jan 16, 2019 9:32 am

I received an offer of 2000 bonus points after spending $4000 between 1/15/19 and 3/31/19.

Noticed the yellow ! in my account yesterday about the time this thread started. Received an @Email encouraging me to sign-up this morning (roughly 24 hours later).

joshua362 Jan 16, 2019 11:30 am

Got the email this morning. 10,000 to earn 15%. Scant WN uses over the last few years, I really should have closed them.

So you have to spend $1​​​0,000 to get 1,500. I have an offer to spend $4,000 and get 2,000 points. I wonder which offer is better. LOL

Nada for me. I did get the promo offered by Chase in Q4... but nothing from SWA for Feb-Apr :(

Are you talking about a variation of the offer being discussed here? Or something completely different?

but if you spend more then you can get more bonus. Not on a percentage basis of course, but you can get more total bonus points...it’s capped at 15k points. We’ll spend around 30k and get 4500 bonus points in the 3 months.

I guess I can spend $100,000 and get 115,000 points and a CP. Sadly I just had one expire that I didn't use once in 21 months. Stupid me but circumstances do get in the way. 2% citi card has been my goto for a while now.

A different offer.

I know, but neither offer is as enticing as a sign up bonus.

DnvTrvlr Jan 16, 2019 4:24 pm

10K/15% here. I just got the personal card through the 50K for $2k reddit link. Hoping once I hit the minimum spend and the 50K SW points post to my account in February the 15% bonus will stack on top. We shall see.
Edit: looks like the terms state credit card bonuses won't trigger the 15%. Bummer.

Ok, then. Apples to oranges.

This is a thread dedicated to the multiple variations of the specific spend offer, as discussed in the title and 1st post.

The one you mention is, presumably, a sign up or other bonus offer, which has completely different terms and -- most importantly -- requirements.

Maybe discuss those offers in the threads dedicated to them?

Doesn't "different offer" and "multiple variations of the specific spend offer" kind of mean the same thing?

If not, sorry for completely derailing this whole thread by posting one post about the same Southwest credit card that has different spend requirements and a different bonus structure. Even though this same offer was mentioned a few post above mine, that's no excuse. :rolleyes:

No, it does not. ;)

Sorry, I overlooked the previous post. But no reason to get all eye-rolly -- I was just suggesting we keep things on topic. As futile as that is here. ;)

To recap: Here we're discussing the 15% bonus points with spend between 2/1/2019 and 4/30/2019 offer(s) for existing cardholders.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Is the offer you mentioned (and, presumably, the one mentioned earlier that you referenced) a part of that promotion, for existing cardholders?

What are the terms and conditions of the offer you mentioned?

At the risk of further derailing this thread, the offer I have is for a flat 2,000 points for spending $4,000 on my Southwest card. There is no percentage here. It's all or nothing. All spend from 01/15/19 - 03/31/19 is eligible for this promotion. And yes, this is for existing cardholders.

Interesting, thanks for that info. That does seem like a different, but related offer. I apologize -- earlier I thought you were referring to a sign-up bonus, or some other unrelated promo.

Was this an email you received, or just something you found in your Promotions?

Received an email from both Chase and Southwest. It's also showing up on the main page when I log into Southwest.com. Strange though it doesn't show up under the promotions tab.

darthbimmer Jan 17, 2019 5:02 pm

Considering that in late 2017 WN offered me a 50% bonus on CC points starting from the first dollar spent, this is a pretty poor promo.

jb2001 Jan 17, 2019 6:42 pm

My Offer: Receive 5,000 bonus points towards Companion Pass after $10,000 spend
