Point Calculation Formula

The basic formula for calculating Southwest Airlines points is:

Points = (Spending Amount × Points Multiplier) + Bonus Points

Where:

Spending Amount - The total amount you spend on your Southwest credit card
Points Multiplier - The number of points earned per dollar spent (varies by card and redemption option)
Bonus Points - Any additional points earned through promotions or special offers

Note: Points multipliers and redemption values can change periodically. Always check the latest information on the Southwest Airlines website or your card's terms and conditions.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Basic Spending

If you spend $500 on your Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card and the points multiplier is 1.5 points per dollar, your calculation would be:

Points = ($500 × 1.5) + $0 = 750 points

You would earn 750 points from this purchase.

Example 2: With Bonus Points

If you spend $1,000 on your Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card with a 1.5 points multiplier and earn 500 bonus points from a promotion:

Points = ($1,000 × 1.5) + 500 = 1,500 + 500 = 1,500 points

You would earn a total of 1,500 points from this purchase.
