Companion Pass valid for use between Aug. 5,
2024, and Oct. 2, 2024. A
qualifying one-way flight for this promotion is a one-way revenue

may change their designated Companion up to three times while they
have the promotional Companion Pass. If the Member earns a
Companion Pass in 2024 by earning 135,000 Companion Pass qualifying
points or flying 100 qualifying flights, any changes to their
designated Companion during the time they have a promotional
Companion Pass will reduce the number of changes they can make to
their designated Companion in the 2024 calendar year. For example,
if the Member earns a promotional Companion Pass through this
promotion, changes their designated Companion twice during the
validity period for the promotional Companion Pass, and later in
2024 earns Companion Pass, they would only be able to change their
designated Companion one more time in 2024. Companion Pass is
nontransferable. All Rapid Rewards rules and regulations apply and
can be found at Southwest.com/rrterms. Southwest reserves
the right to amend, suspend, or change the Rapid Rewards program
and/or Rapid Rewards program rules at any time without notice.
Rapid Rewards Members don't acquire property rights in accrued
points. The number of points needed for a particular Southwest
flight is set by Southwest and will vary depending on destination,
time, day of travel, demand, fare type, point redemption rate, and
other factors, and is subject to change at any time until the
booking is confirmed.
