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!

I have had 5 chase cards for a few years. Am I ever eligible to get new bonuses somehow?
Yes, as long as you cancelled all in the same family, personal/business, you are applying in and 24 months since the bonus received in that family of cards. Also, assuming you are under 5/24. Good luck
But quickly do I apply now or wait for nearer 12/7?
I plan to use card to prepay Fed taxes to get 12K spending.
So I want card statement to close after 1/1 to get companion pass for remainder of 2021 and then 2022?
Prepay fed taxes to get extra $$ to buy ibonds, 7.21%!
What is the meaning of prepaying fed tax to get extra $s for iBonds. 7.12% interest rate is too good.

You're limited to 10K per person per year via treasurydirect.com. But you can get an extra 5K per year by getting ibonds as part of your federal tax refund.So you have to prepay extra to get a refund.

Ok got it. So if I prepay fed income tax, I can go up to 15K per annum per SSN?

Just to clarify further, I can buy $10,000 of Electronic iBonds and my wife can buy $10,000 of Electronic iBonds in a calendar year PLUS we can buy $5000 in Tax refunds every year to make a total of $25,000?
Additionally, I can invest another $10,000 per year for my kids?
I wish I knew about these before

yes. but rates have been much lower than 7% before this, see the wiki.
If I already put $3k on the card before end of year did I screw up my companion pass chances for next year?
There is still the two card part. Read last 4-5 pages of comments. Adding to that you could try buying something on a different visa and have the merchant return on the sw card before December statement to bring the balance on the card below the threshold of 2000. Haven't tried but might work !
