04/05/2026: New welcome offer is 60K Points

The Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Card is a premium airline rewards card designed for frequent Southwest Airlines travelers who want elevated perks, enhanced points earning, and travel protections. Ideal for loyal Southwest flyers, the card offers 7,500 annual points, 25% back on in-flight purchases, and a 10,000-point boost toward Companion Pass qualification, along with complimentary Preferred seating, free checked bags for up to eight passengers, and the option to upgrade to Extra Legroom seats. Travel protections include purchase protection up to $500 per claim, lost luggage reimbursement up to $3,000 per passenger, and baggage delay insurance, while cardholders enjoy no foreign transaction fees and no change fees. Lifestyle benefits such as one year of DashPass and $10 quarterly non-restaurant DoorDash credits through December 31, 2027, add extra value. While the annual fee is not waived in the first year and credits are closely tied to Southwest, the Rapid Rewards Priority card is best suited for frequent Southwest travelers who want premium seating, Companion Pass progress, and strong travel protections.
