Tips if you decide to apply for this card:
- There is a $69 annual fee, but I believe this fee is worth it given the points you will earn after hitting the $1000 spend threshold within 3 months
- Make sure you cancel your card BEFORE the 1-year mark to avoid paying another $69 annual fee. You will still keep your 50,000 points in your Southwest account.
- Keep an eye out for special promotions in your email from time to time. For example, I recently got a special offer to earn 5X points at gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. This offer is so amazing because spending money on gas and groceries are essential expenses, so this is a win-win!
