The Southwest Premier Card is one of three personal Southwest credit cards offered by Chase. This card is the mid-level one in terms of the annual fee. Note that you can only get one of the three at a time, and are only eligible for the bonus if you have not had another Southwest personal card bonus in the last 24 months.

Our Take
The Southwest Premier card seems to be stuck in the middle of the other Southwest credit card products, making it somewhat redundant in my opinion.
It has a slightly higher annual fee than the Southwest Plus card ($99 vs $69) with virtually all of the same perks. The only advantage of the Premier over the Plus is that it has no foreign transaction fees.
But at that point you might as well consider grabbing the Southwest Priority card, which has a $149 annual fee but comes with other perks such as priority boarding and a higher annual cardholder bonus.
