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!
Also offering free canceled flights!
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!

$12000 is quit a bit. Maybe I can pay my rent/car insurance and health copays to make that amount?

This is a good deal. I did the SWA credit cards method to get my companion pass but I had to get 2 SWA credit cards to get enough points. 100k points with one makes it pretty easy.

What about signing up for the Southwest business card = 80,000 bonus points after $5,000 spent, AND one of the personal cards = 50,000 bonus points. Make sure all spending is on your January statement, and you would receive 137,000 points...well enough for the Companion Pass

You'll get the companion pass for 2022 and 2023 if you time it correctly. and you have the entire next year to spend $25k; there are easy ways to get these points without spending as well; it might not be appropriate to say it here
can you please PM me

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.
Except you DON'T want to earn the companion pass now...you want to wait until January.

Just saying, it's an option if you're about to spend $12,000 and may take awhile to spend that amount next year.

Yes. Wait 30 days before reapplying - or if you apply for a different variety of Southwest personal card than you had and cancelled, you can likely apply a week after closing the old card.

the offer terms say as below
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.
I have a Personal card and business card. If i close the personal card and apply again for personal i should be eligible for the promo, right ?
