Sign up for the Rapid Rewards award program so the airline can track your flights and flight credits. Once you sign up for this program, you can monitor your Rapid Reward perks online and follow how soon you will obtain them. You must be over 21 years old to participate in the drink coupon portion of the program. Also, you must explicitly change your online preference to accept the drink award if you want it.
Gain flight credits by using any one of Southwest's preferred partners and registering that partner's information with your online Rapid Reward account. For example, Hilton Hotels is a Southwest preferred partner and you gain a one-half (.5) flight credit when you stay at Hilton hotels. So obtaining flight credits is possible even when the passenger didn’t take a flight to get to his destination. There are several partners to choose from, ranging from credit cards to retail vendors.
Use these alcoholic coupons during the in-flight food service on your flight. They are exchanged for your drink instead of paying cash. After a long day of traveling, a drink coupon can be quite rewarding for the weary passenger who just wants to relax.
