Per the leaked upcoming 100k signup offer link (not yet live) on the Chase Southwest personal cards, it’s apparent that Chase will be
increasing the annual fees on their Southwest card line:

- personal Premier: $99 → $149
- personal Priority: $149 → $229
- business Premier: $99 → $149

New Added Benefits
Benefits added on all cards:
- First checked bag free. Cardmembers and up to 8 additional passengers in the same reservation can check their first bag at no additional cost. (Since Southwest no longer offers free checked bags for everyone, they added it as a benefit for cardholders.)

- Cardmembers and up to 8 passengers in the same reservation will board with Group 5 giving them earlier access to overhead bins.
