The 10% promotion code will appear in your Rapid Rewards® account within 15 days of account anniversary. The promotion code will be valid within one year of delivery, the exact date of which will be listed in your Rapid Rewards account. The 10% promotion code savings is not valid on Basic fare bookings. Promotion code must be entered in the Promo Code box and will be applied to the base fare before government taxes and fees. Please note that the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires advertised fares to include all government taxes and fees, however this promotion code savings applies to the base fare only. All flights are subject to taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed charges of at least $5.60 per one-way trip. Applicable taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed charges can vary significantly based on your arrival and departure destination.
