How Southwest Rapid Rewards auctions work

Southwest's experience lane is the Rapid Rewards Cardmember Access Events: curated, cardholder-only events - private concerts, golf weekends at courses like Pebble Beach, culinary destination weekends - available exclusively to Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card holders through the cardmember events portal. The calendar runs event by event through the year, roughly one boutique event per month in a different city.

Every Access Event we have tracked has carried a set Redeem Now price you claim outright in Rapid Rewards points, from 5,000 points for a cardmember concert evening up to 300,000 points for a destination getaway. Southwest's terms also allow a point-auction format, so an event can be offered for bidding instead of at a set price; an auction runs as proxy bidding among cardmembers, where you enter a maximum and the platform bids only as high as it needs. Either way the audience is small by design, because a buyer has to hold the card and be able to make one fixed date in one fixed city.

PointAuctions.com tracks the Southwest Access Events listings as they appear and archives them after they close, alongside the eighteen other loyalty programs we follow, so the cardmember-only calendar is visible without holding the card.

Southwest Rapid Rewards auction FAQs

How do Southwest Rapid Rewards Access Events work?

Access Events are cardmember-only experience packages, and every one we have tracked has been listed at a set Redeem Now price you claim outright in Rapid Rewards points. Southwest's terms also allow a point-auction format, where Chase Southwest cardholders bid against each other through proxy bidding, so an event can appear that way even though we have not recorded one yet.

Who can bid on Southwest Access Events?

Only holders of a Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card - the consumer Plus, Premier, and Priority cards or the business cards - with access to the cardmember events portal. A regular Rapid Rewards account or A-List elite status on its own does not qualify.

Which credit cards transfer to Southwest Rapid Rewards?

Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt Rewards both transfer to Rapid Rewards at 1:1, which is how you top up a balance for a bid. Note that transferring points in does not by itself unlock Access Events - bidding still requires holding a Southwest credit card.

What is the Redeem Now option on Access Events?

The set points price you claim an event package at outright, and in our data it is how every Southwest event has been listed. The lots we have tracked ran from 5,000 points for a cardmember concert evening to 300,000 points for a destination getaway, so each event is priced on its own - confirm the figure on the specific event rather than assuming a range.
