Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card Worth It?
If you are using Southwest Airlines very often, you can get benefits of this card silightly. However if you don’t purchase from this company, we don’t recommend this card. One of upsides of the card is that there is no foreign transaction fee. Foreign transaction fees can be problem at travels if you visit abroad. Interest rates and fees of the card is high.
