Hello, Lugal. I was in Cancun earlier in the year and the SW app still required contact tracing info to be entered before you could check-in for your return flight home to the U.S.  As of March 2024, it was still required. ... View more

TheMiddleSeat- It's confirmed.  I used my card to pay for point transfers from another RR account to my own and the charge was immediately removed once it posted to the SW Performance Business CC account.  I doubt too many people are in the same scenario, but it does work regardless of where the RR points originate or end up.   ...

TheMiddleSeat,   Thanks for your reply!  I was pretty sure of that and plan to test it by transferring some points as soon as my actual card shows up in the mail.  Having the points in my account makes things easier for booking & changing flights....and I change my flights a ton!  I'm not changing the actual flight regarding where and when I'm going, I change my flight to capture the savings when prices drop.  It's literally a daily morning activity for me.  It's one of my favorites perks with SW.  You can always guarantee you paid the least amount possible by checking your flight daily and simply "change" your flight to the exact same flight to capture any decreases in price.  I'll report back once I've received my card and tested the point transfers from someone else's account to my own. -Zwolfe ...

Does anyone know if the Southwest Rapid Rewards ®  Performance Business Credit Card perk of $500 point transfer fee reimbursement applies to any point transfers purchased with this card or only transfers made from my account to someone else?  In other words, could I use the card to pay for the transfer fees from points someone else wants to gift?  I'm curious if the card cares which rapid rewards account the points originate from.  I've got a family member who flies SW nearly every week for work.  He's A-List Preferred, has the companion pass yearly for his wife and accumulates an insane amount of points.  Outside of work, they really don't use the miles.  If I wanted to transfer those miles to my RR account, and paid the fee with the business card mentioned above, would those fees be reimbursed to me?  The points wouldn't originate from me, but they would end up in my account.  Obviously, I can always use his points to book my flights, but I'm just curious about this particular method.  I could always just try and see for a small amount of points if no one knows this particular answer. ...
