Our Review
This card is one of three personal Southwest credit cards and this one is in the middle as far as annual fees go! My honest recommendation - get the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card with the $69 annual fee or the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card with the $149 annual fee and more benefits instead.
With this credit card, you get two Early-Bird Check-Ins per year, 25% back on in flight purchases and no foreign transaction fees. Plus each account anniversary, you’ll receive 6,000 Rapid Rewards points.
Note that you can only have one personal Southwest credit card at a time, and you are only eligible for the bonus if you have not had another Southwest personal card bonus in the last 24 months. The points earned from this card’s welcome offer count as qualifying points towards the Southwest Companion Pass.
