With some partners, you can only earn points on qualifying purchases. Others also let you convert hotel points into Rapid Rewards points.
In addition, you might need to switch your hotel account to earn Rapid Rewards points instead of hotel points. In some cases, you can just add your Rapid Rewards number to the reservation when booking.
Southwest Hotels Portal
Southwest runs Southwest Hotels, a booking site with over 400,000 properties worldwide, where you can earn points on bookings and pay for reservations with points, cash or a combination.
