Also if you want to earn another SW Credit Card signup bonus you will be eligible 24 months after you earned your last signup bonus.  You just need to cancel your current card (ideally before the 2nd year's annual fee hits).  Then wait a minimum of 30 days before re-applying for the new Southwest card.


Seems like rules may have changed recently. I last received a SW credit card bonus back in October of 2021 so I expected to be eligible when I applied again in December 2023. I was declined so I called and was informed that cardholder must wait 24 months after receiving any bonus miles from the previous credit card and that I had received a dining bonus in September of 2022 so I will not be eligible again until September 2024. Bummer.
