Offer Expired! Earn 75k Points With Southwest Personal Cards

Update: Expired 12/11/23 at 9 am EST.

Chase released new offers on the 3 personal Southwest cards. Earn 75,000 points after spending $3,000 within the first 3 months.

 

Welcome offer eligibility

Please note; you can only get approved for one Southwest personal card in 24 months. So you cannot apply for all three cards at the same time. Here are the exact welcome offer terms: “The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card products”.

Southwest business cards are counted separately so you can get one Southwest personal plus a Southwest Business card or even get one Southwest personal plus both Southwest business cards.

Bypassing the Chase 5/24 rules

There are some data points that the Southwest personal cards are currently bypassing the Chase 5/24 rule. So even if you opened more than 5 personal cards in the last 24 months you can currently (possibly) get approved for a Southwest personal credit card.

Here are the full details and benefits of the 3 Southwest personal cards compared side by side.
