SWA has announced that, starting in 2023, Southwest is raising the qualifying benchmark for the Companion Pass from achieving 125,000 qualifying points to 135,000 qualifying points in the same calendar year.
You can earn it through credit card spend points, but you can also earn it through other ways such as referral points for referring people to get the card and/or spending through the spending portal or spend partners. In years past, I have gotten the companion pass pretty early in the calendar year with one card's large bonus + referral points from a few people who signed up.
If you are targeting the companion pass, get the card now, but remember not to complete the full initial spend of $3,000 until late December 2022 or Jan 2023 -- and after your December billing statement closes (but still before the 3 month window from when you were approved). This is so you get the bonus in 2023. Then do other things in 2023 to get to 135,000 qualifying points, and you will have a companion pass for the rest of 2023 and all of 2024.
Yes! The best plan is the qualify to earn the companion pass in early 2023 and the CP goes the rest of the year and all of 2024!
Yes, but you should make sure both bonuses hit in early 2023 (instead of one bonus hitting in late 2022 and one hitting in early 2023)...Track your spending.

I usually wait 30 days being already canceled before applying again, but I don't know the rule.
It's unclear from your post, but it seems your statement date might be on the 27th of the month.
Why don't you call and ask CHASE if you cancel today, whether the (pending statement) points will transfer over to RapidRewards anyway? (I believe they will...if so, you will have your Comp Pass).....If they will....just cancel today...wait 30 days, then apply in early Dec.
Just a thought. I think that is a better strategy than canceling on Nov 30 and applying again on Dec 3.
Thanks for the heads up! Just got approved for both business and personal card -- now I need to time the $8k total spend in December so that the bonus points get awarded in January for companion pass.
The second or third post on this deal was talking about combining getting an individual (personal) SWA card (just like this deal), alongside a SWA business card deal -- using a business.
That was the combining.
You can no longer do Two different 'individual" cards. That stopped years ago.
So, if you qualify for each deal, and if you have a business, you can possibly do the combining with one individual SWA card (like this deal) and one business SWA card. Both bonuses hitting in the same year (early 2023 would be ideal) will get you tons of points and a companion pass too.
Any idea if there is a way to see when you last received a bonus?
I called Chase, it was a very tedious process because the woman I spoke to wasn't very helpful, she had no idea what I was looking for and had to transfer me to someone else.. Chase's customer service has gone downhill, big time, that's why I cancelled my checking account with them!

fark me. I literally applied for priority card less than a month back which will give me 50K points. Do I have any options with chase customer service? Or shall I just apply for Business Card, and take a gamble with 130K + spending from there on?
You can apply for this card and also a business card if you have any business. The sum of those 2 card bonus will be > 125000 points which will earn you a companion pass

If you have a Saphire reserve card you get top notch customer service. It's all about money

One way would be to go to the Southwest website and look at your "My account" page and "Rapid Rewards" section and filtering for "Credit Card".... You should get a little under 2 years worth of info from that. Mine goes back to Jan 2021. If there is a bonus during that time, it will show up and you will know how long to wait.
The other is Chase.com and try to login and see your old credit card statements. I think the Chase Statements go back pretty far.
[[Also, FYI, my mom applied about 8 months ago for a SWA card, and she was only about 20 months into the last bonus and they didn't give her the card, but instead sent her a letter that said she was denied because she already received a bonus within the last 24 months.
She then waited, later applied, and got the bonus. That was fortitious because if Chase granted the card after only 20 months she would have spent but not received any bonus. the denial was merciful.]]]

You have to earn the companion pass.
How is that?
