Why We Like This Card

This credit card is Southwest’s middle-tier card for those seeking to enhance their flying experience. Every Southwest purchase brings you closer to your next trip, offering 3 points per $1 spent on Southwest purchases. The card also offers an annual anniversary bonus of 6,000 points to help offset the annual fee while boosting your points balance each year. 

The card accelerates your path to A-List status by awarding 1,500 tier qualifying points for every $10,000 spent, up to $100,000 annually, providing significant advantages for frequent flyers seeking priority services and elite travel perks.

With benefits such as lost luggage reimbursement and baggage delay insurance, the $99 annual fee provides value that extends beyond point accumulation. For loyal Southwest customers seeking substantial rewards without a hefty annual fee, this card is an excellent choice for both air travel and ground benefits.
