- This version (Plus) does have foreign transaction fees
Our Verdict
Both of these targeted offers are great deals. The standard/high bonus offer on this card is 50,000, and the occasional (targeted) 60k offers are usually for the Premier version which has a $30 higher annual fee.
Most people will prefer the 60k offer more than the 50k + $100 gift card offer. In any case, these are targeted so take what you got. There’s also a 60k business Southwest card offer available to all. Of course, most of us are post-5/24 and won’t be eligible in any case.
If you got this targeted offer and have recently applied for the card, call or SM to get the better offer matched. Check out 26 these things to know about Chase here.
