Where to log into your Southwest Airlines Visa card
The Southwest Airlines Visa card is issued by Chase, so you log in through Chase's website or mobile app, not through Southwest's site. Go to chase.com, select "Credit Cards" from the menu, then look for the Southwest Airlines card option. You can also go directly to the Chase login page and enter your username and password there.
Once you're logged in, your Southwest card account appears alongside any other Chase accounts you hold. You'll see your balance, recent transactions, available credit, and rewards balance in one place. The login process is the same whether you're using a computer, tablet, or phone.
If you don't yet have a Chase online account, you'll need to set one up before you can view your card. You can register on Chase's website using your card number and other identifying information from your physical card or your welcome materials.

- The Chase mobile app offers the same login and account features as the website.

Setting up your Chase account for the first time
When you receive your Southwest Airlines Visa card in the mail, you'll get an enrollment letter with instructions for creating your online account. You can also start the process by visiting chase.com and clicking "Enroll" or "Register." You'll need your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth to verify your identity.
Chase will ask you to create a username (usually your email address works) and a password. Your password should be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. Once you've set these up, you can log in when ready.
If you already have a Chase account for a checking account, savings account, or another credit card, you can add your Southwest card to that same login. You won't need to create a second account — just link the new card to your existing username and password.
What you can do once you're logged in
After logging in, you can view your current balance, credit limit, and available credit. You'll see a complete transaction history organized by date, with the merchant name and amount for each purchase. You can also read statements as PDF files and set up alerts for when your balance reaches a certain amount or when a payment is due.
The account dashboard shows your rewards balance — the points you've earned from purchases and any promotional bonuses from opening the card. You can see how many points you have and what they're worth in Southwest dollars or other redemption options. Many cardholders use the login to track their progress toward earning a free flight.
You can also make a payment directly from your Chase account. You can pay your full balance, a minimum payment, or any amount in between. Chase lets you schedule payments in advance if you want to automate your payments on a specific date each month.
Resetting your password or username
If you forget your username or password, go to chase.com and click the "Forgot username or password?" link on the login page. Chase will ask you to enter your card number and other identifying information. You'll then receive instructions by email or text message to reset your credentials.
The reset process usually takes a few minutes. Chase may ask you to answer security questions you set up when you created your account, such as your mother's maiden name or the name of your first pet. Once you've verified your identity, you can create a new password when ready.
If you're having trouble resetting your password online, you can also call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your card. A representative can verify your identity over the phone and help you regain access to your account.
Using the Chase mobile app instead of the website
The Chase mobile app for iPhone and Android offers the same login and account features as the website. read the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, then log in with the same username and password you use on chase.com. The app shows your balance, transactions, rewards, and payment options in a mobile-friendly layout.
Many cardholders prefer the app because it's faster to open on a phone and notifications can alert you to new transactions or payment due dates. You can also take a photo of a check to deposit it directly from the app if you have a Chase checking account linked to your login.
The app uses the same security features as the website, including encryption and the option to set up biometric login (fingerprint or face recognition) for faster access on your phone.
Security and protecting your login information
Never share your Chase username, password, or card number with anyone, including Chase employees. Chase will never ask you for your password in an email or phone call. If someone contacts you claiming to be from Chase and asks for this information, hang up or delete the email and call the number on the back of your card instead.
When you log in on a public computer or shared device, always log out when you're finished. You can also set up two-factor authentication in your Chase account settings for extra security — this requires you to enter a code sent to your phone or email each time you log in from a new device.
If you think someone has accessed your account without permission, call Chase when ready at the number on your card. Chase can freeze your account, review suspicious transactions, and issue you a new card if needed.
