Which card actually gets you there
Four Chase cards earn Rapid Rewards points. They're not interchangeable — here's what separates them.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus
The entry point — for someone who flies Southwest occasionally and wants points without a big annual fee.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier
A step up in perks for a similar fee — worth a look if you can use the anniversary points and upgrade priority.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority
The frequent-flyer pick — highest annual fee of the personal cards, offset by travel credits and upgraded boardings.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Business
The business-card lever — a separate 5/24 slot and its own signup bonus for anyone with a side business or side income.
