Valid destinations
A couple items to note
- You must be a member of both Southwest Rapid Rewards and AirTran A+ to collect this bonus.
- You earn your normal A+ Rewards credits along with the Rapid Rewards bonus points
- 5000 Rapid Rewards Points is equivalent to about $83 worth of Wanna Get Away fares
- This promotion can be earned an unlimited number of times
- Be advised this promotion coincides with the June 1st start of the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season!
If you are looking for hurricane-resistant properties to supplement your travel, I can attest first hand from my trip last August that the St. Regis Bahia Beach is built to endure!

The Bottom Line
While this promotion is nothing earth shattering, I do like seeing this first wave of integrated offerings from the Southwest and AirTran rewards programs. I am still holding out hope they merge the rewards programs later this year.

Do you know if you can use the SOuthwest companion pass to take a companion for free on Airtran for this deal?
@Steve – Unfortunately the two are still operating separately for the most part. The SW CP is only valid on SW flights. I would love to see that option sooner rather than later!
do you know if the southwest points will count toward companion pass status for next year?
