An airline credit card may not be at the top of your list right now, since the pandemic has altered many of our travel plans. You may not need Southwest Rapid Rewards points to book an award flight in the short term, but if Southwest is your airline of choice, this limited-time offer could help you travel on points in the future. 

The airline's three co-branded personal credit cards are offering a sign-up bonus of 65,000 points. If you apply for one of these cards and earn the full bonus, you'll be almost halfway toward qualifying for the Companion Pass — which now requires earning 125,000 points in a calendar year. The Companion Pass allows you to bring along a friend at no additional cost besides taxes and fees.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
