Follow the steps below to connect to the WashU SWABIZ account easily:

Click the dropdown to add your personal Rapid Rewards® account number to earn points for future travel. Check the “Remember me” box to save time when you log in next.

These discounts are for business & personal travel and are also accessible through TravelPlex (314-821-0156). For more information on fare types, restrictions, and benefits please visit this link.

WU policy still requires you to select the lowest available commercial coach/economy fare that fits the business purpose of the trip. Southwest Airlines issues non-expiring Travel Credits for canceled tickets to the individual who was intending to travel. Because of this, if it is unlikely that faculty, staff, guests, or students will travel again for University business purposes, it is advised to purchase Wanna Get Away +. This will allow for the transfer of funds between travelers.

For Travel Arrangers/Administrative Assistants interested in accessing via SWABIZ, please email Allen Cassell at acassell@wustl.edu, who can contact the Southwest Representative for a virtual SWABIZ demo.
