Be sure to double-check the welcome bonus when applying!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We love a fire drill post, no?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Some acquisition bonuses warrant me delaying my nightly glass of wine and Twitter binge, and this one stopped me in my tracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The Southwest Rapid Rewards\u00ae Priority Credit Card is currently at a whopping 80,000 points, which is the highest I\u2019ve seen it since I became a travel cards enthusiast. (For reference, I thought I was getting a DEAL when it hit 75,000 earlier this year.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">If you\u2019re curious to know more about this card, I\u2019ve got a deeper dive about why it\u2019s the best airline card out there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.4711j0j4&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oq=money%20with%20katie%20southwest%20priority&amp;q=money%20with%20katie%20southwest%20priority&amp;sourceid=chrome\" target=\"_blank\">right here<\/a> \u2013&nbsp;but I\u2019m not sure how long this offer will last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">As always, I will humbly plead that you use my referral link if you apply (remember, I\u2019m delaying my wine for you!), but if you don\u2019t want to, I still implore you to snatch this one up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The main benefit of getting this card when the bonus is sky-high is that your points count toward Companion Pass. After you get an 80,000-point bonus, you only need 45,000 more to get the best deal in all of travel rewards: BOGO flights for the rest of the year and the entire following year (a designated friend or partner flies free with you, unlimited). 45,000 points sounds like a lot, but after a few referrals and hitting your spend bonus, you\u2019ll be there in no time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Another thing I discovered today when scrambling in my Chase account to find the Refer a Friend link was this incredible Rewards Dashboard that I had never seen before:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 1306px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/moneywithkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ScreenShot2020-12-01at43554PM.webp\" alt=\"  This dashboard helps you track which benefits you\u2019ve already used \u2013&nbsp;as you can see, I\u2019ve barely flown this year and have yet to use my $75 travel credit and 4 Upgraded Boardings.
