Southwest Airlines Co. Rapid Rewards® frequent flyer program held onto the distinction of Program of the Year for the eighth time in consumer-selected InsiderFlyer's 2022 Freddie Awards. The carrier's Rapid Rewards program also was named Best Customer Service for the 14th year, and voters once again recognized the Southwest® Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card by Chase as Best Loyalty Credit Card for the 8th year.  

"We're thrilled to receive this recognition in three categories at this year's Freddie Awards," said Jonathan Clarkson, Vice President of Marketing Loyalty & Products at Southwest Airlines. "Our Rapid Rewards program is designed around a simple concept—to make earning reward travel faster and easier, while allowing Members the flexibility they need. We are thankful to our loyal Members, Customers, and Employees who voted for Southwest and elevate this program to new heights year after year."

Introduced in 1988, the Freddie Awards give voice to the frequent flyer and honor the most respected travel loyalty programs in the world. The 31st annual Freddie Awards were held on April 21, 2022, at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans.
