This is a great card for earning Southwest points! You get 4 Upgraded Boardings per year, a $75 Southwest® travel credit each year, 25% back on in flight purchases plus each account anniversary you’ll earn 7,500 Rapid Rewards points. This card is one of three personal Southwest credit cards and this one has the highest annual fee (but has the most benefits). 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.
