So this is back on again but for 2025-26. Chase card now back at 50,000 miles. I have had the Platinum card for past 2.5 years. Should I go ahead and get Business card now and cancel current card? Do I have to do that before I can get Business card? What will I need for Business Card? On earlier thread (for 2024-25) someone said you can use eBay. Would my wife be one employee?
If the OP (Southwest Companion Pass for 2024-25) can reopen the expired post I will have this deleted.

I don't understand. It's only March - how does the 3 months stretch to December-January?

If your goal is to get the pass for 2025-26, you are about 6 months early when it comes to the window to start opening cards.

Don't get both cards at the same time. Maybe one now and the other in October?

This is misinformation and needs to be taken down. Not correct at all.

If you get one now, those bonus miles will post in 3 months since you need to hit the spend by then. You would need to get both in October for this to work.
