Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority
The offer went up to 60,000 points after $2,000 in three months, but so did the fee: it is $229 now, not $149. It earns its keep for us because of the free checked bags, the 7,500 anniversary points, and the Companion Pass points that come with it. If you do not fly Southwest a few times a year, skip it.
