Our Take

The information for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card has been collected independently by 10XTravel.com. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

The Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card seems to be stuck in the middle of the other Southwest® credit card products, making it somewhat redundant in my opinion.

It has a slightly higher annual fee than the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card ($99 vs $69) with virtually all of the same perks. The only advantage of the Premier over the Plus is that it has no foreign transaction fees.

But at that point you might as well consider grabbing the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card, which has a $149 annual fee but comes with other perks such as priority boarding and a higher annual cardholder bonus.
