Buy Southwest Rapid Rewards Points: Priced in Writing Before You Pay
By Joseph Hellman-Benjamin, Founder and CEO of The Points King. Last updated: October 13, 2026. Editorial Policy
Can you buy Southwest Rapid Rewards points?
Yes, directly from Southwest, which lists points at 3 cents; its last sale, at up to 50% off, ended October 29, 2026. Buying from Southwest carries no rule risk. The Points King sells points in amounts of 50,000 or more at a written price, but Southwest’s terms say purchased points are void and the account can be closed.
Key facts (checked October 13, 2026)
- Southwest’s price: 3 cents list; the last sale, up to 50% off, ended October 29, 2026

- Cheaper route: Chase Ultimate Rewards 1:1

The Points King sells Southwest Rapid Rewards points. Tell us how many you need (the minimum is 50,000), we email you a price per point in writing, and nothing is charged until you accept. Payment is by PayPal. Before you ask for a price, read Southwest’s rule below and compare our price with Southwest’s own.
Before you buy: know the risk. Southwest’s Rapid Rewards terms say “at no time may a Member sell, purchase, redeem, broker, or barter their points,” that points obtained this way are void, and that the account can be terminated. That risk sits with the account holder and the traveler, and no broker, including us, can remove it. Buying directly from the airline carries no rule risk. Read the risks of buying and selling miles before you decide.
Our price guarantee: the price we agree with you in writing by email is the price you pay.

What Southwest Points Are Worth
The Points Guy values Rapid Rewards points at 1.25 cents each (October 2026). Southwest prices awards by the cash fare, so a point is worth about the same on most flights; buying pays off only when you are a little short for a specific booking. Use our buy miles vs. cash calculator to check.
