Effective through Monday, August 14, 2023 at 11:59:59 in the evening Eastern Daylight Time, you can earn up to 2,000 bonus Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points — in addition to the standard Rapid Rewards points earned — during the Back to School Bonus campaign at the Rapid Rewards Shopping portal by spending the following minimum amounts of money for shopping for qualifying purchases on your favorite products from hundreds of participating retailers:
- 250 bonus Rapid Rewards points when you spend a minimum of $125.00 shopping
- 1,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points when you spend a minimum of $300.00 shopping
- 2,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points when you spend a minimum of $500.00 shopping
Earn Up to 2,000 Bonus Rapid Rewards Points by Shopping for Back to School 2023
You can only earn the bonus of up to 2,000 Rapid Rewards points once, as the maximum number of bonus award points that will be awarded to an eligible Rapid Rewards Shopping account through the Back to School campaign is 2,000 bonus award points.
Bonus Rapid Rewards points will be issued based on your cumulative qualifying purchases made during the bonus period. Returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift card or other cash equivalent purchases, and certain products are not included in the bonus award Rapid Rewards points eligibility calculation.
Please allow up to ten weeks after the conclusion of the bonus period for the bonus award Rapid Rewards points to post to your Rapid Rewards Shopping account. This offer cannot be combined with other offers or promotions.
Other terms and conditions may apply.
Final Boarding Call
A similar offer is available with the United Airlines MileagePlus shopping portal.
Be aware that the adding of Rapid Rewards points to your account as a result of participating in this promotion can take as many as ten weeks; but if that happens after the expiration date of the miles in your account, take consolation of knowing that the date of the transaction is typically what counts and not when the transaction is approved. You may need to take the time to send reminders to the administrators of a shopping portal if your miles or points do not post; and if that is not worth your time or effort, you might want to reconsider participating in one of these promotions…
…but if you intend to spend money shopping anyway before the promotion ends, you may as well earn Rapid Rewards points in the process.
