If you have an Ink Plus, Ink Bold, or Ink Cash card you can earn 5 Ultimate Rewards points (transferable to several airlines and hotels) per dollar spent plus 1% cash back by buying Southwest gift cards at Staples and being registered for Visa Savings Edge.
———————————————————————-
As always you get 2 free checked bags if booked on Southwest.com. Plus you can cancel revenue tickets with no charge and use the funds for a future flight. Point reservations can be cancelled for free with the points redeposited.
If you have previously booked Southwest tickets with cash or points and the price has gone down be sure to call to get a refund for the difference!
When Southwest has a sale the points needed for a free flight also go on sale as Rapid Rewards is a revenue based program. A one-way short-haul flight can be had for just 2,475 points-a value of 1.88 cents per point. If you have an unlimited use companion pass thanks to opening 2 Southwest cards you would get a value of over 3.7 cents per point making a 50,000 point bonus worth over $1,850.
The Southwest Airlines Premier Visa gives 50,000 bonus points for spending $2,000.
You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points instantly to Southwest.
The network carriers are also matching these fares in case you care more about earning traditional airline miles than the free bags and cancellation policy. A United flight from Cleveland to Chicago has just dropped to $98 and similar drops can be found nationwide.
