(PRESS RELEASE) WILMINGTON, DE, 2023-Nov-3 — /Travel PR News/ — Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase launched the Destination: Love Sweepstakes*, designed to inspire travel solely based on the hobbies and interests people love most.

The three surprise ‘destinations’ include:

Even outside the Sweepstakes, winners can get to the courts with a partner even faster as all points Cardmembers earn with their Rapid Rewards® Credit Card count toward the coveted Companion Pass® (the benefit that lets a Rapid Rewards® Member designate one person to fly with them, free of airline charges—not including taxes and fees from $5.60 one-way—every time the Customer purchases or redeems points for a flight). As an exclusive benefit, Cardmembers receive a boost of 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying points each year.
