Our Verdict
Similar offer was sent out last year in March, this is the highest bonus we’ve seen on this card before. Standard offer is 25,000 miles, but almost always available at 50,000 miles. Remember that the Chase 5/24 rules apply to the Southwest cards now, although it’s possible that targeted offers like this are excluded (share your data points in the comments below). Southwest points are worth a maximum of 1.39¢ towards fares (the actual redemption rate is higher because you only pay the security fee and no other taxes). People get the most value out of the Southwest cards by getting two and counting them towards the companion pass, although this is significantly more difficult after the 5/24 rules.
As always, before apply or asking basic questions I’d recommend you read up on these things you should know about Chase credit cards.
