TPG's Southwest Rewards Points Giveaway Winners Announced
TPG is happy to announce that the Southwest Rewards Points Giveaway winners have finally been revealed. Twelve winners were chosen each day for 12 straight days in December to win 60,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points — that's 8,640,000 Rapid Rewards points cumulative.
Based on TPG's valuations, each individual winner's points are worth $900. What's even more exciting is that these points will count toward Companion Pass eligibility, and we think this is one of the most valuable airline perks out there. Note: The 60k points will not be processed into the winners' accounts until January 2019.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway, and congratulations to all of the winners. We loved reading your creative answers and seeing your pictures. A huge thank you as well to our partners at Southwest and Chase for making this such a great giveaway.
TPG staff will be reaching out to each winner individually with details in the next week, but if you see your name on the list below please email us at luvtpg@thepointsguy.com.
