Thanks all for the advice around getting companion pass! Opted for the $149 card since it essentially pays for itself every year ($75 southwest credit and 7500 points annually).

Here's my plan for anyone who might benefit from it:

- Before 2022, spend UNDER $2000 (I'm aiming for $1800 to have a buffer) so that the 50,000 point bonus does not hit in this calendar year.

- In Jan (and before the 3 months from start of account) spend the remaining amount to get to $2000 for the first 50,000 bonus. (Total 50,000 points for 2022 towards 125,000 companion pass)

- SPEND LIKE CRAZY, to get the remaining of the 12k as quickly as possible. Second 50,000 point bonus hits after this. (Total 100,000 points towards 125,000 companion pass)

- In the course of this, in 2022, should accrue at least 10k points from spending point accrual (110,000 points towards 125,000 companion pass)

- for the remaining $15k points needed, either refer someone to the card for 20,000 points, or just migrate more of my spending to this card.

The goal is to get to 125,000 points accrued in 2022, as soon as possible in the calendar year to secure companion pass for the remaining months of 2022 and through all of 2023.

Thanks all, and good luck!

For spending using credit card, you can have minimum federal taxes deducted at your income source/salary etc and pay estimated taxes every quarter using credit card. 1.96% credit card fee is well offset by credit card point value/benefits. I have been doing that since I started cc churning. Just an idea for churners!

If I get this card now, I have until end of October 2022 to spend 12k to get the total of 100k points or does it need to be spended until end of 2021?

Quote from KentC7765 :
Yes, and if you spend in their bonus categories, you'll get even more points quicker. Companion pass is 125k miles, but if you're a rapid rewards member before 12/31/20, you only need 100k more

We are making it easier for our Rapid Rewards Members to earn tier status and Companion Pass in 2021 by giving each Rapid Rewards Member this boost:

15,000 tier qualifying points (TQPs)*
25,000 Companion Pass qualifying points (CPQPs)*
10 qualifying one-way flight segments towards tier status
25 qualifying one-way flights towards Companion Pass
All Rapid Rewards Members with a Rapid Rewards account opened by December 31, 2020 will get this boost toward earning tier status or Companion Pass benefits for 2021-2022. These points will be deposited automatically in your account within a week.2
Good catch on this, but won't those expire at the end of 2021? Ideally you'd earn your miles in 2022 so that the pass lasts through 2023...

Quote from scottzee :
For those who had Rapid Rewards accounts open on Dec. 31, 2020, Southwest effectively lowered the requirements for earning the Companion Pass in 2021 by depositing 25,000 Companion Pass qualifying points in accounts earlier this year, meaning you'll only need 100,000 points to qualify for Companion Pass by the end of this year if you had an account open at the end of last year.
You're better off earning it early next year

Also you and the person referred get 20,000 points. Look for a referral when applying
Will the referral still give the 100k offer though?

PSA and question:

"The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card products."

This is different than in the past. It used to be available if you didn't have the particular card. Now any SW card seems to make you ineligible, unless the other card is a business card.

Question: if your existing business card is in your name (sole proprietor), are you still eligible for the personal card deal? I assume so given the excerpt from the terms above but just curious if anyone knows those details

Good deal! Did it last year to earn a Companion Pass, which is valid till this year end. Unlike those who earned it in 2019 who got theirs extended till Dec 2021, those who earned CP in 2020 do not get such extension going into 2022. Even last year Southwest added 25K Companion Pass miles to all eligible accounts.

Canceling the card within the first month after your anniversary still gets you 7500 rewards points. Not intentional, but just happened to notice Wink

These points + CP pretty much covered a round trip from Chicago to Hawaii for a family of four this August.

I miss the days where you could get the plus and premier & combine those bonuses to easily get a companion pass! I just noticed I was charged annual fee since signing up last year! Time to play cancel and see what they offer to keep it!! UPDATE- No incentive to keep your current SW card if you decide you don't want to pay the annual fee (for the 2nd year). They just cancel it and refund the annual fee! Blah.

Quote from skold :
You're not serious are you? The cancellation was due to tons of their employees, including lots of pilots, refusing their vaccine mandate (and rightfully so!). The storm part was just a load of BS....you have to read the articles because they seem to shy away from focus on the vaccine mandate being the issue.

Lmao you seem to have all of the answers. Why did all of the sudden the employees stopped protesting? And why were other airlines not impacted because I'm sure southwest isn't the only airline mandating the vaccine.

You need 125,000 points now to get a companion pass. So you'll need to spend $14,000 to get 100,000 points and then an additional $11,000, assuming you earn one point per dollar spent.

Doesn't really seem worth it to me, and this is coming from someone who consistently had a CP every year until last year, especially with the fact that we're still in a pandemic.
