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.

The Southwest referral now links to the 75,000 points deal.
Nice find! That makes this deal even sweeter. If your spouse has a card already, you can get 75,000 bonus points for the applicant and 20,000 referral points for the spouse. Let the referrals begin! Very nice indeed.

If you're looking to combine this with a business card bonus to get CP, is there any reason why you wouldn't go for the Premier Business Card with 60k bonus and lower spend requirement and lower annual fee? 75k + 60k = 135k, which is enough to qualify for CP. Please let me know if I'm missing anything. Thanks!

For me the, it's the extra rewards value still being higher than the extra annual fee.

DM me if you need a referral.

Is the CP deal that happened this year going to happen next year? I thought it was kind of a one time thing due to CV?

I also have referrals for all the Southwest and Ink cards at the highest offers. I'd of course be happy to respond to any requests via private message. Thanks a lot.

So if I applied for my business first and my business referred my spouse's business, can my spouse's business then refer me personally, who in turn will refer my spouse personally again?

Nefarious, I know. Lol.

Why would you need a referral? Do you personally get more miles if you came through a referral, instead of direct application? Curious.

In this case the referral isn't a better offer but it's nice to swap them. (Amex sometimes has better offers via referral only)

Can you apply for a personal card with a business? It looks like the business card offer is 80k pts w h an $8k spend, which is pushing it for me. (Planning to do business and personal to get the companion).
