My thoughts
This is the lower-fee Southwest business card and it's a great option for small business owners or side hustlers who want to earn Southwest points without the higher annual fee of the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Performance Business Credit Card. Since it's a business card, it doesn't count toward your 5/24 number, which is a huge advantage if you're also opening other Chase personal cards. The 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying point boost every year is the same as the personal cards, making it a solid card for stacking points toward the Southwest Companion Pass.
How to use your points
Southwest Rapid Rewards points are best used for free flights on Southwest. Here are the best ways to use them:
- Book free Southwest flights — points cover the base fare with no blackout dates
- Earn the Southwest Companion Pass so your designated companion flies free on every flight — learn all about the Companion Pass
- Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Southwest Rapid Rewards to top off your balance — learn more here
A solid low-fee business card for Southwest fans who want to keep their 5/24 number clean.
- Doesn't count toward Chase's 5/24 rule, so you can keep your personal card slots open
- 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying points boost every year
- Lower annual fee than the Performance Business at $149
- Free checked bag for you and up to 8 passengers, which is great for family travel
