Yet Chase continues to make changes to their cards.
Sapphire is changing. Now so is the Southwest card:
Changes:
What's changing:
Continue to enjoy these perks through December 31, 2025.
• 4X points on Southwest Cruises purchases through 2025 and then 1X beginning January 1, 2026
• 2X points on Rapid Rewards® hotel and car rental partner purchases, and then 1X beginning January 1, 2026
• 2X points on internet, cable, and phone services, and select streaming, and then 1X beginning January 1, 2026
• 2X points on local transit and commuting, including rideshare, and then 1X beginning January 1, 2026
• 4 Upgraded Boardings per year when available, for flights operating in 2025
• $75 Southwest annual travel credit each year, for purchases made in 2025
With updates to your card, your annual fee will be increasing to $229 in 2026. Before it does, we will send you more information about the change.
Staying the same:
• 7,500 anniversary points after your Cardmember anniversary
• Boost of 10,000 Companion Pass® qualifying points every year
• 1X points on all other purchases
• 25% back on inflight purchases
• No foreign transaction fees
With the increase in flight prices, changes to their free baggage and seating assignments, I will be canceling this card.
Gone are the good old days.
