Earlier in the week I saw that Southwest is offering double tier points (registration required) and I wasn’t going to post on it, since even though it’s useful for some getting A-List status really doesn’t excite me much and I was pretty distracted when It came across my screen. The offer matches American’s double elite qualifying miles, and like that offer runs through DecemberJanuary 31st.

But it seemed worthwhile mentioning when I saw Online Travel Review point out yesterday that Southwest is also offering double points on all flights into or out of Newark, LaGuardia, Boston, Manchester, Providence, and Orlando for travel booked by December 30th and flown between January 4 and February 15th. Registration required.

The ability to get double tier points and double credits flying specific routes during the month of January is a bit more valuable, not my cup of tea but useful for Southwest flyers for sure! And after all, even Lucky flies Southwest now and then.
