Southwest Credit Cards Tweak Sign-up Bonuses For a Limited Time


For a limited time, all three Southwest consumer credit cards are altering their welcome offers for new cardholders.

NerdWallet values Southwest miles at 1.5 cents, which means this new bonus is worth around $1,000, including the $400 statement credit, which can help holders reduce the balance they owe.

Overall, this limited-time offer is worth more than what each card generally offers, although it does require a higher spending threshold. Previously, for example, new holders of each card could earn 50,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months.

Apart from this new sign-up bonus, all other benefits of the three Southwest cards are staying the same:
