Southwest Hopes To Fill Seats By Offering Double Rewards Credits
We all know that airline travel has been down due to the economic situation, and when you combine that with the fall travel season things become very slow. That’s why a few airlines have searched through their marketing box and have pulled out the double frequent flyer miles promotion. American Airlines and United have announced that they’ll be providing double elite-qualifying miles through the middle of December. Those are the miles that get you airline status, and fancy upgrades, but won’t help you add to your frequent flier piggy bank for that dream vacation.
Southwest Airlines usually isn’t a follower of such trends as they kind of pride themselves on going their own way, but they too are now offering a fall travel rewards promotion. It's not a true double Rapid Rewards bonus, because their business select passengers won’t get the full bonus. However, we never spring for business anyway, so we’ll be happy enjoying one bonus credit for one-way trips and two bonus credits for round-trip flights.
All you have to do is register on their website here, and then you are ready to start booking and flying. Just make sure you’re registered before you start buying flights; unfortunately, previously purchased itineraries aren’t eligible for this deal. You will need to hurry up; all travel must be completed by October 31. So if one of your pals across the country just needs you to attend their annual Halloween bash, you’re good to go. Too bad Halloween parties haven't been cool since like freshman year of high school.
