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 currently have a priority card with billing cycle ending on 12/01. If I close it today, will I be able to apply and be approved for this by 12/05 or do I have to wait a whole month after the last billing cycle? If thats the case I cant take advantage of this.
Another scenario I could possibly take advantage of: Sending my wife a referral. she currently uses the card on my SW account (it has her name on the card) but I wasnt sure if it counts as HER getting the bonus 2 years ago too.
Did anyone receive an email immediately after they applied? I didn't get instant approval and I haven't received any emails about it at all. I'd expect a "We received your application and will let you know our decision" or something like that. As it stands, I don't know if my application actually went through.

Try calling 800-432-3117 for your application status. You can also try logging into your Chase account (if you already have one). If you've been approved, you may already see your new card listed in your account.
If we always use reward points to book tickets, how can we use the $75 Southwest annual travel credit?
I'm thinking you could book a one way flight and pay using this Southwest credit card in order to trigger the credit you're referring to. Then, you could book another one way flight home using your points.
With the companion pass, your designated person should still be able to fly with you for free on both legs (the paid flight and the points flight).
I was approved for both. I also had to make a new account for the business one. Now I am wondering if I can spend 8K in 3 months. It is holiday season though.
