Why do we recommend it?
With a solid sign-up bonus and plenty of perks to make the Annual fee Worth it, we recommend this card to anyone who is eligible.
This is also a great card to use for the sign-up bonus if you are going after the companion pass.
However, we do recommend that after you earn the initial sign-up bonus, you put any of your travel spend on one of the Chase Sapphire cards if you have one. Earning Chase URs is more valuable than earning Southwest RRs.
All in all this card is definitely worth it for the sign-up bonus and the perks!
