Southwest launched the All-New Rapid Rewards in March 2011.  The program gives Members more control, flexibility, and accessibility to earn and redeem their points.  Points will act like currency, and they won't expire with any earning activity for 24 months.  Members can redeem their points on any seat, any time, on any flight, so something you won't find in the new program are blackout dates.  We tailor-made the all-new Rapid Rewards program to meet the needs of today's traveler, making it faster and easier than ever before to go, see, and do.
