I received a promotional email from Southwest today notifying me that 500 bonus points had been deposited to my Rapid Rewards account. Just like those free drink coupons that sometimes come without notice, this was a nice little Southwest perk that brightened up my day. Not sure what the criteria was for getting this bonus (my husband and daughter did not get similar emails), but please share if you got it too!
Text of the email:
