Southwest Airlines Celebrates Instagram Milestone with 1 Million Rapid Rewards Points Giveaway
Southwest Airlines is celebrating a significant social media milestone by giving away one million Rapid Rewards points to one lucky Instagram user. The promotion marks the airline reaching one million followers on Instagram, coinciding with its 53rd birthday and the ongoing Summer of Go sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes is open to both existing and new followers of Southwest's Instagram account. The grand prize winner will receive one million Rapid Rewards points, while five additional winners will each get a $500 Southwest gift card. Winners will be randomly selected on July 16th and notified via direct message from the official @SouthwestAir account.
Participants must be US residents (excluding Alaska) aged 18 or older. To enter, participants need to like the Instagram post announcing the sweepstakes, comment with hashtags #OneMillionSWA and #Sweepstakes, and tag a friend. They must also follow the official @SouthwestAir page on Instagram by 11:59 PM on July 15th.
Southwest Airlines spokesperson expressed the company's excitement about sharing this milestone with its loyal customers. The spokesperson highlighted the joy of engaging with followers on Instagram and celebrating by offering the grand prize of one million Rapid Rewards points.
One million Rapid Rewards points are equivalent to approximately $12,048 in travel, though taxes, fees, and other charges still apply. This dynamic pricing model means the exact number of flights covered can vary, but it represents substantial travel opportunities for the winner.
For those not on Instagram, Southwest's Summer of Go sweepstakes offers weekly chances to win destination prize packages. This week's destination is Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Winners receive round-trip air travel for two, accommodation, ground transportation, and 5,000 Rapid Rewards points. The current entry period ends on July 8th at 11:59 PM Central Time.
This promotion is open to legal residents of 48 US states (excluding Alaska and Rhode Island) and the District of Columbia, who are 19 or older. Each weekly giveaway offers a new destination and a unique prize package, enhancing travel experiences for a variety of travelers.
