I fly southwest a lot due to midway in Chicago having lots of flights to Cleveland, it’s not my preferable airline but would it make since to get a southwest credit when I already have the gold Amex?

Yes. Just the statement credit and the miles offset the annual fee. You usually have credit card offers like 10% off flights that lets you make extra money.

Also if you value companion pass this can get you closer faster. But with only 12 flights an year you are probably not in this category. Would just put spend on other cards.

Wait until they have the companion pass sign up offer

I probably have flown southwest about 12 times in the last year and a half, and will probably stick to that cadence for at least a few more years

The perks of the southwest card are pretty meh. And you can transfer to southwest from chase. But since Southwest is just a rebate program there’s no outsized value. Hell a 2% cash back card and paying cash will be a far better return than spend on southwest cards.

The card is for the sign up bonus and a companion pass. What, it offered you a free checked bag or something 😂

What the heck are gold points?

Amex? No. And even if you could it would be a terrible value. Southwest points are worth effectively a fixed amount. If you are only getting 1.2 cents per point you’re doing it wrong.
