- Discounts range based on days booking in advance.

Signing up is extremely easy:
Access the UMBC SWA Biz Portal
If asked, enter our Company ID: 99597573
If you already have a Southwest Rapid Rewards account, simply log in with your existing credentials.
If you don’t have one, you’ll be prompted to create a new account — and once you do, you can use that portal to book personal flights.
Yes, that’s right — personal travel flights!
As we roll out SAP Concur, these same Southwest discounts are already built into the airfare pricing you’ll see within the Travel module. Travelers will simply enter their Rapid Rewards number in their Concur profile to ensure they earn points on every eligible trip.
