Yes, but that's a very poorly worded message that explains nothing about needing a credit card to access More Rewards at all. In fact, it blames COVID-19 and says reward redemption is "paused" until further notice ... which apparently isn't true lol

 

The messaging should be changed to say that you need a SW RR credit card to access the portal.

That is stated on the Southwest website, directly to the left of the Explore Rewards button you referenced earlier.

FYI: Southwest stopped redemptions in the first few months of the pandemic. This was a reaction to the prospect of having to pay More Rewards for a huge number of points when members flocked to the site to use their points on things like gift cards, since travel for most essentially stopped. By limiting it to Chase customers, now Chase pays More Rewards for those points.
