Looks like this promo isn't targeted, but you do have to register. There's a link on the website homepage, or look under Promotions in your RR account.

Promotions of this type are frequently misunderstood.  One must do the following in this order:

1) Register for the promotion'

2) Book flights

3) Take flights

So, reservations made BEFORE registration will not count. That is the part that is  misunderstood.

Thanks for sharing! I don't recall seeming a promo like this so prominently displayed on the southwest.com page...it is a good one to see for those who have the appetite to travel.

I think all Southwest promotions involving RR points you’d need to register. I believe my post says it as well. (I just copied and pasted the T&C).

Well, the good thing is it’s from now through 8/31 which is a pretty wide range. So even if you can’t travel until July or August you’ll still get some bonus.

Sorry, I was trying to point out that the promo isn't targeted, meaning it's open to everyone -- as long as they register.

(RR promos are often targeted, and apply only to the member receiving the notification message.)

Will the bonus points earned from this count towards A List Status? It doesn’t say that it excludes them from counting in the terms listed on the promotion.

Good question.  SW please respond

Hey @Matt4202 and @SWFlyer007! Bonus points are in addition to the standard flight points earned through Rapid Rewards and will not count toward A-List, A-List Preferred, or Companion Pass qualification. Thanks!

I have no idea why "dfwskier" would do a LOVE for Nicole's reply.  I would hope that everyone would have loved that the points would have gone to A List..and so on.  Nicole did make it clear these don't go towards those programs.......   😞  Nicole, say it isn't so.   Keep up the good work S.W.
