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!

if I apply the card now (and get approved), as my first statement will not be available until early Jan 2022, will my spendings in December 2021 be counted as 2021 points or 2022 points?

If I open the card in Jan 1 of 2022, does that mean I can get companion pass for 2022 and then 2023?

I would wait a couple of more days to make sure the first statement is in January and not December. Then should call customer service to make sure it is in January. Then your December spending will count towards 2022. Good luck. Any more questions, pm me

AFTER you're qualified for the companion pass (with 125k points), it's good for the rest of calendar year and the following calendar year

Which business and personal card combo is worth the annual fee, if getting them both for companion pass only?

If you only want companion pass just get the two with the cheapest annual fee.

2 Minutes Ago

On business side you need the more expansive one, performance, to get 80K vs 50K for the other one to get atleast 125K needed for the pass

Applied for me and the wife and it said pending for both. I called and they said wait up to 2 weeks. Lame. My credit is too good and my income is too high, they know I'm playing them slickdeals style.

I suggest calling 800-432-3117 to auto check the status of your application

30 Day: wait, keep checking
2 weeks: approved most likely
7-10days: denied most likely, call reconsideration, above number.
Then you can again call tomorrow, hopefully you get better agent. Good luck.

Are you trying to get a companion pass for both you and your wife each? You only need one companion pass per two people so then only one of you should apply for the credit cards. One person needs to accumulate the 125,000 points for the companion pass.

Your new application date needs to be 24 months from bonus posting date. Both family (business and personal) have independent 24 month clock.
If you get the 100,000 bonus early in 2022 and wait to cancel the card until the anniversary points are credited in late 2022, do the anniversary points count as a bonus to restart the 24 month clock?

They called Sunday needing to verify some info so I called them back Monday. I was on hold for an hour and 58 minutes before the lady had me verify my address and phone number and then said I was approved. Now to figure out how to get the annual fee waived.

No, the 24 month clock is based on sign up bonus and is not affected by annual bonus.
