As Holidays Approach & Card Competition Increases, Feel Free to Get Up and Move About This Deal

DALLAS—With the holidays approaching, the credit card rewards war is again heating up.

The latest to join the fray is Southwest Airlines, which has enhanced welcome offers on each of its personal credit cards, Forbes reported.

“The best part: Points earned from these welcome offers count toward the Southwest Companion Pass, which is essentially a BOGO anytime you fly the airline,” Forbes said.

The bonus for these cards often sits at 50,000 points, but Southwest has been known to elevate that bonus at different times throughout the year, Forbes said.

The welcome offer for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card and Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card have all be raised to 75,000 points after spending $3,000 in the first three months from account opening, Forbes said.
