1,000 Southwest Points for Dining Out

Going out to eat? Here's how to get a quick 1,000 Southwest points. TravelingWellForLess.com
One meal can get you 1,000 Southwest points

You can get 1,000 Southwest points in a few minutes when you join the Rapid Rewards Dining program by June 12, 2016. Four quick steps:

  • Join Rapid Rewards Dining by June 12, 2016
  • Spend $25 or more at a participating restaurant within 30 days
  • Pay with registered credit or debit card
  • Complete 5 question online review within 30 days of meal

When you eat at participating restaurants you earn 3 Southwest point for every $1 you spend.

But remember to register a card that isn’t registered with another dining program. Because you can’t double dip dining programs.

So don’t enroll the same card that you used to get 5,000 United Miles and elite status.

How to Get 1,000 Southwest Points Fast

1.  Buy Gift Cards

Not planning on eating out soon? You can buy gift cards from Rapid Rewards restaurants to use later or give as gifts for graduation, Father’s Day, teacher’s, birthdays, etc.

2.  Use Other People’s Money

Pick up the tab when you go out with friends. Or even better, ask for the cash.

From my Extreme Mile and Point Collecting post, if someone is paying with cash, ask if you can put it on your credit card. You get the miles and don’t have to spend the money to get the bonus!

Summary of the Fine Print

  • Offer open to new Rapid Rewards Dining members without a dining profile
  • Profile has to be completed by June 12, 2016, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time
  • Spend $25 within 30 days of joining to get 1,000 Southwest points

Conclusion

You can earn a quick 1,000 Southwest points when you join the Rapid Rewards program by June 12, 2016.

To get the bonus you have to spend $25 or more at a participating MileagePlus Dining restaurant within 30 days of joining.

Remember you don’t have to dine out now, you can buy gift cards to use later.

Here’s how to get the bonus without spending money.

Share how quickly you get your 1,000 Southwest points.

Chase Sapphire Preferred

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for beginning travel hackers. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points (after spending $4,000 in the first three months).
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 2X points on travel and dining, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.

Chase Freedom Unlimited

The Chase Freedom Unlimited is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of $200 (after spending $500 in the first three months).
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back at grocery stores the first 12 months (up to $12k), unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can use your points to travel for free.
