Got this Visa offer from Southwest again today and considering it:
Earn 50,000 points after you spend $2,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account.1 $69 annual fee applied to first billing statement.
We carry both the Hyatt and Marriott Visas and put pretty much everything on them (mostly Marriott) and pay them in full every month. So, my question is this...we'll keep the hotel cards (for the perks) but perhaps close the SW card before the first anniversary and after having used the points for vacation flights later this year. What are the ramifications to a credit score for opening and later closing a card account? We have excellent credit and I don't want to do anything that will adversely affect our scores...
TIA and Hook 'em.
