Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Business Credit Card

Earns: Southwest Rapid Rewards

GigaTake:

Since this card doesn’t offer you any Southwest perks, it really doesn’t have a lot to offer. You’ll probably earn points quicker with other Chase Ultimate Rewards cards and you can instantly transfer those points to Southwest if that’s how you choose to spend them.
