Another great window has arrived to get the Southwest Companion pass with the return of 50,000 point offers on the Southwest Plus and Southwest Premier cards. The catch is that you need special referral offers to get the 50,000 point bonuses. If you apply through the regular links on the Chase site you’ll only receive 40,000 point offers. Lucky for you, I have referral links here!

The Southwest Business card is still offering 60,000 points after a $3k spend (no special referral link needed).
The most efficient route to the Southwest Companion Pass would be to open the business card and one of the personal cards (plus of premier) through one of the above referral links.
Alternatively, you could open both personal cards through the links above and complete the minimum spending which would give you 104k points (50k + 2k from spend on each card). You would then need to collect 6k more points through spending or flying Southwest flights to get the required 110,000 points to qualify for the companion pass.
Remember, the companion pass allows you to add an additional flyer (that you designate when you receive the pass) to every Southwest flight you take for only the cost of taxes!
Get the Southwest companion pass ASAP
Remember, you want to accomplish the spending ASAP as you will receive the companion pass for the rest of the year in which you earn it as well as the entire next year! The sooner you complete the spending and get the point bonuses, the sooner you’ll qualify for the Companion pass. The quicker you accomplish this, the longer you’ll have to make use of the extra savings from a boat load of Southwest points and the companion pass.
Before you apply I would recommend you read my earlier post all about the Southwest companion pass and what to consider when applying.
Southwest will be flying to Hawaii starting this year! One more reason to score the companion pass now.
Kim and I recently used the companion pass and points to save thousands of dollars on our 2.5 month mega trip.
