I Reset The Expiration Clock On My Southwest Rapid Rewards Miles

 

Many airlines have account mileage expiration dates due to lack of activity in an account.  Southwest Rapid Reward Points expire if there is no “qualifying activity” after 24 months.  I have about 60,000 points sitting in my account with a looming October expiration date.

So, as I have often done in the past (mostly with American AAdvantage Miles), I just ordered a travel magazine subscription to prevent my Southwest Rapid Rewards points from expiring. I can’t help it, I am a dinosaur and still like reading magazines, especially when I travel.  Not to mention, it is an easy way to extend your expiration date for a small price. (The subscription was $17).
