Annual Fee
The Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card has a higher annual fee, but if you fly Southwest often, the benefits can more than make up for that cost. The points earned from this card's welcome offer will count as qualifying points towards the Southwest Companion Pass.
Each year on your account anniversary, you’ll earn 7,500 Rapid Rewards points. This card also comes with a $75 Southwest annual travel credit, four Upgraded Boardings per year, no foreign transaction fees, and 25% back on inflight purchases.
When it comes to everyday spending, the card earns 3x points per dollar spent on Southwest purchases, 2x points per dollar spent on local commuting, transit, rideshare, internet, cable, phone services, and select streaming services, and 1x point per dollar spent on all other purchases.
