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 get that you are trying to be helpful, so thank you for that. However, your first two examples: Loading up on amazon and pre-paying cell/utilities...Why would you go through the hassle of getting pre-paid credit cards through staples, when you could put those purchases DIRECTLY on your Chase Southwest credit card?
The objective is to spend the requirement as fast as humanly possible in order to receive the SWA benefits quickly. The VGCs are good for many years. I don't have much in required monthly payments, and my cell bill is actually negative due to previous incentives. Someone asked how to cash them out; I offered a suggestion. It offers flexability. To take it or leave it is up to you.
You do not want to earn points that are credited to 2021. Spending $2k before Dec 20th would earn 50k points applied to 2021. You want the points credited to 2022 so that you reach the 125k points for goal for the Companion Pass in '22. Then you have a CP for 2022 & 2023
If you're not planning a flight with a companion in January, then take your time & don't risk the points crediting to the wrong year. If you have a big purchase (& will have trouble spending $12k quickly, then I would try to wait until after Dec 20th).
I was planning to spend 1800 but I accidentally hit the 2000$ this month. What are my options now :'(
Cant seem to undo the charges
I'm guessing since I have a first payment date of 1/8 and a statement date of 12/11 I'm good to go on a spending spree. Anyone want to PM me how to avoid the annual fee?
Correct my logic here: Statement ends on 12/28, so I need to spend $2k before 2/28 statement to get bonus points?
Does this also mean I can spend $1500 before 12/28, then the final $500 by 1/28?

That sounds right to earn the first bonus.
I got very lucky. Received approval on 5 Dec. Received card on 8 Dec. Verified first statement end date is 5 Jan, so I started spending right away. $4K down, another $8K by end of week. Should get bonus points in January, including Companion Pass good till 31 Dec 2023. This was a fantastic offer, and I'm glad I did it.

Was that 25k offer only for 2021 ? I think it would get reset in Jan 2022 unless I missed something.
