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.

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.
Did you apply the business card first, or did you apply both on the same day, or apply them several days apart?

Just to clarify: I currently have the SW Priority Credit Card for the past 4 years, but have received the annual card member 6000 points...Therefore I won't be able to take advantage of this deal since it hasn't been more than 24 months since my last bonus? Or can I still get this deal by just canceling my current card and then reapplying?

I think you will have to cancel the current card to get the deal. Under the T&C I found this:

This product is available to you if you do not have a current Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Business Card and Employee Credit Card products.

Yes experience for most has been either try on same day or wait 30 days. Personally I wait the 30 days.

Absolutely no reason to wait between personal and business card.

Good luck!

When is everyone applying to go for the companion pass? From what I gathered, I will apply for both personal and business now and stay right under bonus until January so I hit the pass for 23-24.

Do you have to wait 24 months before signing up for bonus again?

edit:. the answer is yes. you have to wait 24 months to receive bonus points. thanks for nothing community.

Also you can't get the bonus if you currently hold any SW chase card. You have to cancel and reapply

In years past when I did this, I bought some silver coins from APMEX. That got me there. I would say find something of lasting value and buy it and hold on to it -- or sell it eventually.

Other people load up on gift cards, but I am not a fan of that because businesses go out of business. Others buy prepaid visas....Staples has a sale from time to time for no-fee $200 visa prepaid cards, and they let you buy a few. Not sure when that will happen next though.

I can think of one practical reason to stagger the 2 applications, and that's to give yourself more time to meet the $6,000 spend between the 2 cards. I would usually try to meet the spend on 1 card (or get close to completing it), then apply for the 2nd card and start working on that one.

Of course, some people have no problem spending $6k in 3 months, but I personally feel more at ease trying to do it in 4 - 6 months.
