Pros

The Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card gives users access to 6,000 bonus points with no annual spending requirement on the account anniversary. Therefore, the bonus will offset its annual fee. Furthermore, no foreign transaction fees will be another advantage of this card. Meanwhile, it saves cardholders a lot on baggage fees of flying Southwest.

Cons

For most credit cards, the annual fee for the first year will be waived, while it is different with the Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card. Besides, it doesn’t offer any luxury perks, like the bonus in airport lounge access and concierge service and more.

Summary

It will be an excellent choice for people who are dedicated to flying Southwest Airlines to use this card due to its robust rewards and generous anniversary bonus. Keep it if you are attracted by the rewards of this card.
