Don't know if this is targeted but just got this email now:

Start planning your next trip! With this exclusive bonus offer, you can get away faster than ever. Earn up to 50% more Rapid Rewards® Points when you buy them for yourself, give them as a gift, or share them with friends and family through September 14, 2014.

The more you buy, gift, or transfer, the more bonus points you can earn:

Plus, when you use your Rapid Rewards Premier or Plus Credit Card to purchase points, you can earn an additional two points for every $1 spent.

Don’t wait! This limited-time offer ends September 14, 2014.

Not unless you first transfer into your own SW account and then transfer into someone else's.

BTW... it seems targeted.
