The Offer

- Please see the Rapid Rewards Shopping site for details on product eligibility and other restrictions.
Our Verdict
Not a great bonus, only an extra 2.5x points per $1 spent if you spend exactly $200.
Like you, the very first thing I thought about was using this as a boost for the 2022 companion pass but no: “Last Minute Bonus points will not count toward A-List, A-List Preferred, or Companion Pass® qualification.”
