Pay with your Chase Southwest Credit Card to get the 50x points per $
Think I'll just buy a flight... can always cancel and spend over the year
I guess this is a safe purchase.

It's not as simple as saying I want to go from JFK to LAX and there is just a price sitting there.
You didn't take advantage of the extension, and still aren't flying. What exactly would you have them do exactly?
You earned CP for a year. You got a bonus for 10 months that you didn't use . You have wasted another 6 months. Why do they need to extend it again? Because you decided not to fly?
I'm really not understanding your argument.
.
You're complaining you didn't get enough free stuff that you didn't use anyways. The flights were there. The flights are there now. Saying you can't fly enough is just false.

You say you have fewer routes. So? Those routes are cheaper. No one promised you a set of flights that fit your schedule.
You admit they already gave you 20% of a CP for next year. Therefore, they should give you a full one? Uh, okay.
The goal of a companion pass is to make you fly. It's apparently not working in your case. So why give you ANOTHER year?
I'm on my 15th CP trip this year... to Cabo on Wednesday. I was in Bozeman last weekend. Round trip flights were selling for $130 up until the last minute.
So you can claim you have somehow not gotten the benefits you think you deserve. But the truth is... you just chose not to take advantage of them.
Rather than wasting time here complaining. I suggest you go buy a ticket and use your CP.

You want to ask them to extend your 2020 CP for a few months because it won't kill them. Go for it. Just don't hold your breath. How many months did it want exactly? Maybe they'll set up a special plan just for you. Maybe not.
I'm just wise enough to take advantage of my benefits and not waste my time wishing for things that aren't gonna happen. I guess it sounds harsh, but seriously... you have no excuse not to be using your CP. 2021 is NOT the same as 2020. Asking them to give you more free stuff is like me asking them to give me a free 2022. After all, I didn't need to earn 2021, right? They owe me more free stuff. At some point, you have to realize it's no longer logical.
Sitting around saying you didn't get "a fair opportunity" is just silly. You did. You are. Go fly already.

2020 was a surprise, with many flights restricted and destinations impacted.
2021 was not a surprise. Almost everything is open and flights full.
So no one who earned their CP last year didn't know what they were getting. Plus they got a 25k point credit to get there.
Yes, you can argue everyone needs a free year of CP because they extended it for some people. By your logic, I should get a free year to use the first year I don't earn one. Maybe in 2025 or 2030, if I keep earning them, right? If not, someone else got more free stuff than me.
And people on welfare get free money, so you should too. I get your logic... no handouts unless everyone gets it, regardless of need or situation.
Unfortunately, that's not how life works.
Of course this isn't my choice. It's SWA. So discussing it here is moot.
But my point is...I've been flying the whole time. The planes were empty. They aren't now. There's no reason whatsoever to give someone an extension. They are a business and make decisions accordingly.
So stop complaining and start flying.
From chase app:
+bonus on swa purchases 400
+bonus on swa purchases 4800
+2x pts for southwest purchases 200
=
5400
5041.76 points = 41.76 on SWA purchase + 4800 bonus on SWA purchase + 200 for 2x Pts on SWA purchase. Assuming the weird 41.76 pts is because I also received a $63.80 credit from my $75 Travel Credit / yr. (Already received $11.20 in credit earlier this year when I went to Vegas on points.)

Where do you see the bonus points?
I purchased the $100 GC on 6/10 and it has posted to my credit card statement but not seeing bonus points anywhere. TIA
