This Credit Card Perk Will Save You MAJOR Money on Your Next Southwest Flight

Do you fly a lot and want to earn points faster to get more airline miles? There’s a new offering you need to check out, especially if you fly Southwest Airlines often.

Now, there’s a new way to start earning those Rapid Rewards even faster — the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Debit Card! Just announced on October 28th, here’s everything we know about how it works and what it can get you.

The Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Debit Card is powered by Galileo, which is a new Visa debit card that combines the convenience of debit payments with the benefits of Rapid Rewards. When talking about the new offering, Tony Roach, EVP Chief Customer and Brand Officer at Southwest Airlines, said, “At Southwest Airlines, we are continually exploring new ways for our Customers to experience the benefits of our Rapid Rewards program. With more than 90% of Americans using debit cards, expanding our award-winning Rapid Rewards loyalty program to include a debit card was a natural next step.”

The benefits of the new card include:

• • A 2,500-point welcome bonus with two recurring deposits and $100 spent in the first 90 days
  • Earn 1 point per $2 spent on everyday purchases
  • Earn 1 point per $1 spent on Southwest Airlines® purchases, dining, and subscriptions, including internet, phone, streaming services, and utilities
  • Receive a 7,500 Companion Pass bonus each year (All points earned with the debit card count toward Companion Pass)
  • Up to 7,500 bonus points on the Cardmember anniversary (after making at least $15,000 in qualifying purchases each year; making fewer purchases will result in fewer bonus points)
  • Annual 20% off promotion code
  • Annual $35 Southwest credit
  • No credit check is required to get the card, there are no fees to withdraw from ATMs within the Cirrus network, and the monthly fee is waived (as you maintain a minimum average monthly balance of at least $2,500)

It’s also important to note that points obtained on the card never expire, there are no blackout dates, and Members can use points for any seat on a Southwest flight. If you’re also a Rapid Rewards Member, you’ll get your regular tier benefits and free in-flight WiFi, and you can earn and redeem points for hotels, rental cars, vacations, and more.
