Update: Mid-day Sunday Southwest modified this deal and the new terms are reflected within this post.
Sign up for Southwest Airlines’ Rapid Rewards program here (their frequent flyer program), provide your email address and request email updates and you will get 8 credits (or half of what you need) 6 credits toward a free flight (a free flight takes 16 credits). You earn 2 points per flight, so after four five more flights, you’ll have a free ticket.
Your turn: I’ve never flown Southwest, but have heard good things. What’s been your experience?
Lynette emailed me saying, “I try to fly only Southwest Airlines & have many times. Their staff is the best & unlike most airlines, you can reschedule flights without being charged. In fact one time I rescheduled a fight & got money back to use towards a future flight. But the best part is that if you need to cancel a flight for any reason you have a year to use that money toward a future flight. The only thing some people do not like is that you do not get assigned seats. You get put into groups A,B or C according to the time you check in. Group A gets to board first & you gets to pick your seats as you get on, so the sooner you board the better seats you get.”
