Southwest Rapid Rewards points are worth between 1.15 and 1.72 cents each, about 1.4 cents on average. Southwest ties award prices to the cash fare, so the value stays in a narrow range on most routes. With a Companion Pass, a second person flies with you for only the taxes, which can double your effective value. Enter your balance below to see what your points are worth.
