WHY WE LOVE THIS CARD:

The Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card is a great option for travelers looking to earn rewards on everyday purchases while enjoying Southwest-specific benefits. With a low annual fee of just $69, it offers 2x points on Southwest purchases and select travel categories, along with 1x points on everything else. A key highlight is the annual 3,000-point anniversary bonus, which adds consistent value just for keeping the card. With the ability to earn toward the Companion Pass® and no blackout dates on points redemptions, it’s a flexible card for maximizing Southwest travel.
