Does anyone know which credit report they pull so that I can unlock the correct one before applying?

Quote from ChronoTriggered :
Thanks and repped. So basically, if you fly Southwest at least once a year, that $75 credit means you really only pay $75 annually for the card. 4x upgrades per year are worth $30 each ($120 total value).

What does "1,500 tier qualifying points towards A-List status for every $10,000 spent" mean on the $149 priority card? Kinda confused there.
Your "4X upgrades" should be corrected to be a MINIMUM of $30 each. My last two from San Diego to MDW were $60 each and were covered...

The other trick is to get hotel rooms with Buy More, Earn more through Southwest hotels. This works in Vegas and other big cities. You can earn 1000s of points per night, basically by buying them for about 1.6 cents per point…nearly at cost. I've done two weekend trips this year and got about an extra 30000 points… costing me less than $500 extra on the hotel cost.

So if you're a diligent Vegas traveler, you could have your CP in a few trips.
1.6 cents per poins is hardly "at cost"...

I've had companion pass once (for about 22 months) and man that is so worth it. Go ahead and line up your two different credit cards and make it happen cause if you have a SO or friend you travel with regularly you can get a boatload of value from that alone.

I can't recall, but for a new customer (no new chase cards the last two years), can i sign up with two Personal card to get the Companion Pass? Perhaps one now, then another one closer to 6/30?

I thought Southwest closed that loophole preventing getting two SW credit cards to get double bonus points (in this case 150,000), no?

You're forgetting that you get 7500 points (worth a minimum of 1.3cpp) each year as well, meaning the $149 annual fee is effectively covered ($75 credit + $100 flight redemption) and then some, without having to factor in the dubious value of an upgraded boarding.

Can not be two personal cards . Last time I did business then personal. That was 2 years ago .

Edit : appears still possible this way and want to clarify the two personal cards to gain companion pass.

It is technically possibly,although, harder. You need to use the MDD method . Most website don't really talk about it but google . Southwest chase mdd method you should find enough info. In a nutshell you need to apply for second card the following day from your first approval and second card needs approved the same day as app. There are some other quirks that you will have to read up on though

That's the commonly accepted value. I just found a $59 flight for 3427 points. Do the math... That's 1.7 cents per point... or 1.57 cents if you deduct $5 for the tax.

So... What number would you suggest?

I'm glad I signed up during the free companion pass bonus. It was only a 40,000(?) signup bonus, but with the price of airline tickets this year, BOGO is feeling like a better deal than extra points.

With interest rates levels at a 5 year high, one would expect more CC deals/bonuses coming out.

I'm a little confused on the offer details. The blogs I'm reading are stating that I can get a new Southwest card and still get the bonus, but Southwest makes it seem like I can't be a current cardholder. "This product is available to you if you do not have a current Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card"

For more details, I opened up my Southwest card back in 2017 so it's been well over 24 months, but I'm uncertain that I can apply for the card or that I won't receive a bonus if I still have my current account open. Does anyone have experience with this? Should I cancel my old card before applying?

I have 31k in points toward CP at the moment so with this bonus, I'm sure I'd get CP by end of year.
