No, Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points do not expire as long as your account remains active.
Points in your Rapid Rewards account will stay valid as long as you have at least one account activity every 24 months. This includes earning or redeeming points for flights, hotel stays, or car rentals.
If your account remains inactive for 24 months, your points will expire. To keep your points from expiring, it’s essential to engage with your account regularly.
You can earn points through various activities, including flying with Southwest, using a Rapid Rewards credit card, or shopping with partner companies. Redeeming your points for flights or other services also qualifies as account activity.
Keeping track of your points is simple. Southwest provides account statements and regular updates through email, so you can stay informed about your points balance.
If you’re concerned about expiration, consider setting reminders to check your account activity. Being proactive can ensure you maximize your Rapid Rewards benefits.
Feel free to reach out to Southwest customer service if you have more questions about your points or account status. They can provide personalized assistance and help you maintain your points.
