Hold on to your peanuts, Southwest fans! It looks like Chase might be cooking up a brand-new, premium Southwest credit card. Doctor of Credit spotted a survey Chase sent out that explicitly mentions Southwest opening premium airport lounges at several of their hubs! This isn't just a rumor, the survey suggests they're seriously considering it.

Why should you care? Well, Southwest has always been about keeping things simple and affordable. Airport lounges would be a total game-changer, offering a more comfortable pre-flight experience for loyal Rapid Rewards members. The survey floated annual fees between $395 and a whopping $795, so this card would definitely be targeting a different kind of Southwest flyer than the current lineup. Think premium perks to match that premium price tag!

While surveys don't guarantee a launch, the direct mention of lounges makes it seem like a very real possibility. A similar survey preceded the Southwest Priority card, so there's precedent! If you're a frequent Southwest flyer who values comfort and convenience, keep your eyes peeled. This new card could be your ticket to a more relaxing travel experience.
