Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card
Travel Rewards
Sign-up Bonus
No Foreign Transaction Fee
Our take
The Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier credit card can significantly improve to your travel. It comes with a relatively high $99 annual fee, but this shouldn’t be a deal breaker for those who can put all the card’s benefits to use. First, you’ll get a 40,000-point sign-up bonus, enough for a round-trip flight. Even more enticing, the card can earn you 1,500 tier qualifying points.
