Southwest Airlines Announces Rapid Rewards Double Credits for Flights To/From Philadelphia and Carrier's D.C. Area Airports

Southwest Airlines has introduced a double credit Rapid Rewards frequent flyer promotion when Members travel between Philadelphia and Baltimore/Washington, or Washington (Dulles) from July 15 through September 30, 2010. Rapid Rewards Members can earn two credits for every one-way flight (four credits when traveling roundtrip), and at that rate, Members can earn a free* flight after just four roundtrip flights. Members who purchase a Business Select Fare will receive additional credit--2.25 credits for flights less than 750 miles and 3.0 credits for flights 750 miles or longer, making it even faster to earn an Award. To qualify, Rapid Rewards Members must register or join prior to travel by visiting: www.southwest.com/phillydcdouble. Members must register and book their flights between July 15, 2010, and August 11, 2010, for travel July 15 through September 30, 2010. 

It is fast and easy to earn free travel through Southwest's Rapid Rewards frequent flyer program. Rapid Rewards Members can earn credits by flying, or using the program's Preferred Partners. It takes just eight roundtrip flights, or 16 credits, to qualify for an Award; however, Members can accelerate their earnings by using the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase, doing business with any of the airline's other Preferred Partners, or by purchasing Southwest's Business Select Fares when flying. Plus, once an Award has been earned, Southwest Airlines allows the Member to transfer the Award to anyone.
