    Pros: Moderate Interest Rate; Rewards Build Quickly
    Cons: Can't Stockpile "Segments", Benefits Expire Quickly

    Summary: When I apply for a reward MasterCard or Visa, one question is always uppermost in my mind. "Am I ever going to actually use the award?" With most reward cards, the answer is simple. I know I'll use my Discover Platinum Cashback ... read more

    Pros: Easy website to use
    Cons: You pay more to use their credit card & they make money on the charges.

    Summary: We have always seen the commercials for SWA on tv. We were interested in their fares and their rewards structure. Since my husband travels a lot for work, it initially made sense to get this card for free airfare. I've had 3 different Southwest cards ... read more

    Pros: Quickest miles around. low annual fee of $25.00
    Cons: Not an extensive network of flight options.

    Summary: I've carried the Southwest card for 3 years and my wife has her own. During that period, we have earned enough points to travel to San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, Las Vegas and I've got two tickets to paradise in my pocket. True once you earn a ... read more

    Pros: Low fee, great reward, great service

  • Fly Free Faster!

    Mar 31, 2000
    Pros: Hassle-free in all respects
    Cons: I have to pay the bill, but that's about it

    Summary: I've held this card for several years and use it almost exclusively for all my credit purchases. There are several reasons why: 1. FLY FREE FASTER!: I average at least two free round-trips a year just through my charges alone, including ... read more

  • GET ONE OF THESE!

    Pros: More free tickets than any other card!
    Cons: 2nd year annual fee

    Summary: Southwest has what I feel is the best frequent flyer program in the industry. While they don't offer any upgrades, no first class, no elite status, they do offer the most free flights for a given amount of travel (or in this case Credit Card ... read more

  • Express Reviews

    Pros: N/A in this case
    Cons: Treated poorly by customer service.

    Summary: I love southwest, but FirstUSA/BankOne really got me mad. We signed up for the Southwest Visa with the understanding that it had no annual fee. We received the cards and notice of the fee, so we didn't activate the cards. They called to see why we

  • Telephone Customer Service the pits

    Pros: Nice looking card
    Cons: Telephone and online customer service

    Summary: The telephone customer service operators for the Southwest Visa provide incorrect information at least 50% of the time. I found myself, calling and re-calling them to get the the same information and to make the same changes - they never got around to
