NerdWallet Review
The Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card isn't the flashiest card in the Southwest Rapid Rewards family, but it's got a lot going for it.
Its annual fee is $69, and it has the same APR and ongoing rewards rates as its two higher-annual-fee sibling cards, not to mention the same sign-up bonus — and that means you'll get the same head start toward a coveted Southwest Companion Pass no matter which card you get.
Just know that this card doesn’t travel as well as the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card or the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card, nor is it as generous with side benefits.
In fact, if you’re a loyal Southwest customer seeking extra perks when you travel, it could be that the much pricier Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card will still be a better deal for you thanks to the added value you’ll get.
