DALLAS, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Airlines has become the first airline to reach one million fans on Facebook! And while there are a million ways to celebrate, we've decided to offer our fans a special Rapid Rewards promotion, available today only! Facebook Fans can earn triple Rapid Rewards credit on all their flights purchased today for travel between December 1 and December 31, 2010! With this promotion, Members can earn a free* flight after just three roundtrips! Registration is required through the airline's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/southwest). Fans who are not yet Rapid Rewards Members can join today and receive a special enrollment offer of up to five credits and become eligible for the triple credit promotion. This promotion is offered exclusively through our Facebook fan page.
"For five years, we've been involved in social media as a way to engage our Customers," said Linda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines Vice President of Communication and Strategic Outreach. "We've built a massive online following for one simple reason - we care about our customers. Through this effort, we've identified what our Customers want, what we're doing well, and how we can improve. If a million fans is any indication, it's working!"
It takes 16 credits to qualify for an Award; however, Members can accelerate their earnings by using the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase, doing business with any of the airline's other Partners, or by purchasing Southwest's Business Select Fares when flying. Plus, once an Award has been earned, Southwest Airlines allows the Member to transfer the Award to anyone.
