While the reward rate is above average, with a $59 annual fee and industry average APR, we would primarily recommend this card to frequent Southwest travelers. It’s important to remember that Southwest Airlines only flies within the U.S. if you are a frequent international traveler, we would recommend you look at other cards including the Discover Escape, Chase British Airways Visa or Capital One No Hassle Miles Rewards.
