Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card

No Over-the-Limit Fee. You won’t pay an over-the-limit fee if your credit card balance goes over your credit limit.

For Example:

Let’s say your credit card limit is $5,000. One month, you spend more than your limit on the card. Some credit card companies will charge you between $25 and $35 for this mistake. If your card advertises no overlimit fee, you won’t be charged a penalty for your spending.

This credit card comes with a No Penalty APR. You won’t default to a higher APR if your payment arrives on or after day 60.

Baggage Delay Insurance. Should your bags be delayed, this credit card can cover the cost of purchasing essential items.

Extended Warranty Insurance. This credit card extends the original manufacturer’s warranty of an item. You get the benefits of an extended warranty without purchasing the store’s expensive extended warranty.

Lost or Stolen Baggage Insurance. The credit card will cover replacing the contents of lost, damaged, or stolen bags, up to a given dollar value.

Purchase Protection. If that thing you bought is stolen or accidentally damaged within a specific period of time, you’re covered. The credit card company may reimburse you up to the full purchase price.

Rental Car Insurance. This credit card covers any damage from collision or theft on most rental vehicles, up to the value of the car.

Travel Accident Insurance. If you’re ever in an accident while on a vehicle licensed to transport the general public, you’ll want this insurance. It covers injuries from losing an eye or a limb all the way up to death.

Emergency Cash Advance. If your credit card is lost, damaged or stolen, you can ask the credit card company for some emergency cash. They will authorize the payment, which you can collect from a designated financial institution.

Emergency Card Replacement. Whether your card is lost, stolen or damaged, the credit card company can provide help as soon as next day. It doesn’t matter if you’re still on vacation, the credit card company will mail a replacement to you wherever you are. This will be done free of charge.

Zero Liability. If you didn’t buy it, don’t pay for it. You will not be held responsible for any unauthorized charges that appear on your account.

Once approved for this credit card, you may get Welcome Points that you can use for other benefits. These include travel, high-end merchandise, discounts, or bill credits. Each card has different requirements for using the points.

No Annual Fee for the First Year. This credit card company waives its annual fee for the first year. You’ll get a year to decide if the card is worth the fee before you have to renew.

Companion Ticket. You can use credit card miles to bring someone with you on your next trip. Some cards make you earn a certain amount of miles for a free companion ticket. Other cards allow you to use your miles to discount your companion’s ticket.

Free Checked Bag. Some credit cards offer 1 or 2 free checked bags for you and sometimes for people traveling with you.

No Blackout Dates. With this credit card, you avoid dates when travel rewards and other special discounts and promotions are unavailable.
