Editor's Notes

Card Highlights This card is best for frequent Southwest passengers, and for consumers who want to earn free travel quickly. Even though this credit card carries a higher annual fee than most bargain hunters normally tolerate, the 3,000 bonus points awarded on your anniversary date takes a hefty bite out of that fee. For casual travelers, the card's net cost gives it a clear advantage over similar airline credit cards.

Chase offers a middle-of-the-road APR on this card, almost encouraging you to use this account for reimbursable travel expenses and budgeted household bills. Like most reward credit cards, you'll earn free travel fastest if you find a way to funnel as many of your purchases as possible to your new account. If you let your balance ride for more than a month or two, your finance charges could overshadow the value of your Rapid Rewards points.
