Even though you cannot use Southwest Rapid Rewards Points to purchase Disney World Tickets, they can be used to get passes for both seaworld and universal studios orlando. You can also use the points for rental cars, restaurants etc.
Currently you get 50,000 points for signing up ($79 yearly fee)
Say you and your spouse both sign up for the card, that's 100,000 points.
Here's an example of how we are using our points for a disney vacation:
Two round-trip flights from long island to Orlando total of about 25,000 points
Two tickets to Universal Studios + Islands of Adventure- 24,000 points
Two Tickets to Seaworld- 17,038 points
8 Day Rental Car (Nissan Versa or similar) from Hertz- 17,000 points
That's 83,038 points used. Leaves enough points to get $150 in amazon gift cards or gift cards to restaurants
If you want to use the points for a hotel, you can get $1,000 of gift certificates to Marriott, Ritz Carlton, or Hyatt Hotels. Or you can book basically any hotel using points (even disney hotels, although it's almost 50,000 points for one night at a deluxe).
SO- For two people signing up for the card, you get 50,000 points each for a total sign-up cost of $158. To get the points you just have to make a purchase (even if it's just $1).
My wife and I are enjoying FREE flights, FREE rental car, FREE Universal, and FREE Seaworld. My grandmother is gifting us 7 nights at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Our only costs thanks to southwest and grandma will be disney tickets and food =).
