No, you can’t sell your Southwest points for cash. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club' rules don’t allow it, and if you try to sell or trade points, you risk losing them or even getting your account suspended. Instead, you can redeem your points for things like free flights, hotel stays, car rentals, and more.
Popular Ways to Redeem Your Southwest Points
- Free Flights: Redeem Rapid Rewards points for flights to a wide range of destinations.
- Hotels Stays: Redeem points to book stays at over 400,000 hotels worldwide.
- Car Rentals: Redeem points for car rentals with a variety of providers at locations worldwide.
- Gift Cards: Redeem points for gift cards from a variety of popular brands like Kohl's, Panera, Lowe's, and Best Buy.
- Merchandise: Use Rapid Rewards points to shop for your merchandise needs.
Keep in mind that the value of Southwest points depends on how and when you use them. Each point can be worth up to 1.64 cents when redeemed for a Southwest flight, which is generally the best redemption option.
