  • You don't have to get rid of your other card(s) to obtain the RR Visa;
  • Odds are very high that the earn rate on the RR Visa exceeds the earn rate on your cash-back MC.
    • Even if the nominative earn rates are exactly the same, consider that RR 2.0 points are more valuable than cash if you fly enough to use the points (cash given to SWA expires, whereas points can be kept alive forever).
