The short version

Southwest Rapid Rewards prices every award directly against the cash fare, so a point's value barely moves — roughly what the seat costs, divided by the points it takes. Points do not expire while the account stays open; Southwest removed expiration in 2022. Closing the account terminates them, so leave it open.

Expiry rules, inactivity clocks, and stopping a balance quietly lapsing.

What are Southwest points worth?

A Southwest Rapid Rewards point is worth about 1.25 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $625. Because Southwest prices awards against the cash fare, the value barely moves — about 1.1 cents on cheap fares and 1.4 on higher ones. The calculator converts any Southwest balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.
