Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card

Apply for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card and earn 50,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months. This is a strong introductory bonus that can be redeemed for flights on Southwest Airlines. The card has a $69 annual fee.

This card is a good option for frequent Southwest travelers, offering 2 points per dollar on Southwest purchases, Rapid Rewards hotel and car rental partners, local transit and commuting, internet, cable, phone services, and select streaming. You’ll also earn 1 point per dollar on all other purchases.

Points earned with this card count towards the coveted Companion Pass®, which allows a friend to fly with you free of airline charges for a year (excluding taxes and fees). Additional benefits include a 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying point boost each year, two EarlyBird Check-In® each year, and 25% back on inflight purchases. This offer is available to those who do not currently have a Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus in the last 24 months.
