This definitely seems like a worse deal than the 80K mile offers (or maybe it was even higher?). It says you get the pass after spending 5K in 3 months which is relatively heavy spending....but lets say you apply and get the card in 1 week 2/18/22, then complete the spending requirements in 2 months (2.5k a month) instead of 3) earliest you would get the companion pass would be 4/18/22 and it will expire on 2/28/23 so only 10 months of use) (most likely tied to statement date or something of the like - so likely even less). The 50K difference in flights is enough to cover at least 2 RT flights and likely more. Whereas with the 80K sign up bonus if you work the way to the companion pass you end up with the remainder of the year you qualify and the following year for free companion flights and you have more miles to book with......this one is a pass
Someone can travel with you whenever you do, for free. You still pay tax on fare. The pass lasts 1y.

It's a nice deal, you have to factor in how many times you would use it in a year to calculate the saving. Often southwest tickets are cheap in first place. Meanwhile there are other non related credit cards out there with 80,000-100,000 points which I think is a better deal.

If you are a hardcore flyer on southwest, it would be a slickdeal.
Only 4 people total. Once you set your companion, you can only change it 3 times.

Quick tips about companion pass, you can change your companion thru out the year, as long as the person does not have an active reservation.

I have it last year, I flown SW about 20 times but my gf was only able to use it twice. It turned out to be not a good deal for us.

Flying in the US is great, I paid about $10 or $20 per flight in taxes. Flight to Mexico was expensive tho, was like $80 per flight in international taxes. This was back in 2018, within that year we went to Oakland, Atlanta, Boston, Nashville, Buffalo, Baltimore, Portland, Cancun.

2 card CP route is probably still better for most than this deal. But if you like one and done, it's okay I guess

Expect $100 in taxes now. Gotta pay for the agriculture inspection you can't use.

oops, wrong reply.

yeah. I guess two cards will get you more points. but this way... you get flying faster and easier.

I recall getting in on the 80k deal. It was good then, I think this one is just ok. Plus if you already have one of the CSP or CSR this card is kinda useless. I have not use it for at least 6 months now. I really should just cancel it

About 200k points roughly. But I actually got CP this year by doing one card SW biz when they ran the 100k offer. I then referred a buddy for 20k. Got 130k points total and CP. And you also get CP thru 23, not Feb 23.
