The Catch

You can’t apply for this deal if you already have a current Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card.
You are ineligible if you have received a new cardmember bonus on the same credit card in the past 24 months.

You can only give the free flight to your designated travel companion, and you can only change who that person is a maximum of three times.
