Rapid Rewards Enrollment
Several days ago I made reservations for my friend and her 4 children. Today I went back to SW's website to enroll them in their program but it seems as though you cannot enroll online unless it is during the session when you are making the reservations.
It does say that you can enroll at the airport but I was trying to make it easy for them (imagine you and four kids, baggage, security and now filling out paperwork for five people).
Any sugguestions?
Thanks!

Perhaps you should cancel the reservation online and then use the credit to simply rebook the tickets. You can then enroll for Rapid Rewards when rebooking the tickets.
Of course it is important with SW that you do all of your "business" online because then you get double Rapid Reward credit. If you speak to a reservations agent to make, change, cancel, or rebook a reservation; you lose that double credit.
One roundtrip with double credit is 4 RR credits which is 1/4 the way to a free ticket. That adds up quickly!

My wife recently signed up for RR at the airport when checking in for her flight. She was given a temporary membership card and 2 FREE credits to get her started. I'm not sure if you get the free credits when you enroll online.

Hi all,
I've been in this situation before and so I had copied the link to enroll. It *WAS* https://www.southwest.com/cgi-bin/rapidReward but that doesn't work anymore. Perhaps they've changed things on their end. Hopefully someone who buys a ticket in the near future will copy the link to enroll and post it here.

Thanks for the info. Yesterday another friend asked me to book him a reservation so at that time I signed up my friend, her 4 girls, myself and my son. Hopefully they will get all their credits when they use their cards at the airport.
All the adults also receive 2 free booze tickets too.
