Earning Points. The number of points you earn for flying Southwest depends on the type of fare you choose. You will earn 12 points per dollar with Business Select fares, 10 points per dollar with Anytime fares and six points per dollar with Wanna Get Away fares.
But Southwest calculates the points needed by multiplying the base fare (not the total fare) by 70. That means that on a points booking, you are NOT being charged for all of the additional taxes and fees (except for the security fee of $2.50). The points needed for this booking are $72.56 x 70 = 5,079 Southwest points. But youâre getting a value of $89 â $2.50 = $86.50 for the fare. And ($86.50 cost of flight / 5,079 Southwest points) = ~1.7 cents per point! So Southwest points are still worth more than the advertised value of ~1.43 cents per point!
