Although I don't consider myself particularly loyal to any one airline, I've held — and loved — my Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card (see rates and fees) for several years.
The $75 annual flight credit and 7,500 anniversary points bonus (worth $101 by our August 2025 valuations) more than made up for the annual fee, even for a casual Southwest Airlines flyer. Despite the airline's tumultuous string of changes earlier this year, I still kept the card.
But Southwest's recent credit card revamp is the last straw.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
