Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
The Southwest Rapid Rewards debit card is designed for customers who prefer debit cards or aren’t eligible for a credit card. It offers a way to earn Rapid Rewards points and Companion Pass-qualifying points through debit card spending. The card’s annual 7,500 Companion Pass qualifying points may appeal to Southwest flyers working toward Companion Pass status. The annual 20% discount code and $35 Southwest statement credit add some ongoing value for cardholders who regularly fly the airline. It’s a niche product that fills a gap in the airline loyalty program.
The destination is rediscovered, one debit card purchase at a time.
