The Southwest Premier Card foreign transaction fee is $0. That means transactions processed outside the U.S. won’t incur the typical 2%-4% foreign fee charged by certain credit cards. Although the Southwest Premier Card has a $99 annual fee, cardholders who travel abroad frequently will save money with $0 foreign transaction fees.
On the topic of saving money, with this card you’ll also get: 3 points per $1 spent with Southwest, 2 points per $1 on Rapid Rewards hotel and car partners, 2 points per $1 on local transit and commuting, including rideshare, 2 points per $1 on internet, cable, phone services, and select streaming, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases. Paired with $0 foreign transaction fees, the Southwest Premier Card is a pretty good value.

The Southwest Premier Card charges a $0 foreign transaction fee. That’s very typical for a credit card co-branded with an airline. In addition to the Southwest Premier Card’s $0 foreign transaction fee, it’s a good choice for use abroad because the card is on the Visa network, which is one of the most widely-accepted worldwide. If you travel outside of the U.S., you should fly Southwest if possible, since the card gives bonus points on all Southwest flights, as well as on purchases made with Rapid Rewards hotel and car rental partners.
