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.

Looking to apply for both business and personal card. Do both parties get a bonus with referral? Also, I've an existing Ink business card. Do you guys recommend closing it out before applying for SW business CC?

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.
Nice! Did you apply in person or online?

The referrer gets an extra bonus. The applicant gets the 75k for personal or 80k for business.

I would keep the Ink and apply for SW business. If they don't approve you for more credit, you can ask them to convert some of the Ink credit at that time.

You can apply as soon as possible but you shouldn't have received the bonus in last 2 year

If it were me, I'd wait at least a week. If it were me, I'd pick a different biz card this time.
[[But it is possible you could get the new Biz card (exactly like the old one) quickly after canceling the same Biz card. but check your bonus history if you are applying for the exact same biz card...you can't have gotten your bonus from the prior Biz card within 2 years of this new biz card app.]]

I am the OP on this deal. The OP link doesnt show you the two options for two different BIZ card offers. It only shows the Performance Biz ($5,000 spend $199 annual fee and 80k bonus).

But there are two biz cards....PERFORMANCE BIZ card and the PREMIER BIZ card.

If you DM me, I can send you the link that has both offers (75,000 on all the personal cards...and one Biz card for 60,000 bonus points and one is 80,000 bonus points.)

(Premier Biz is the lesser 60,000 bonus points, but only $99 annual fee and only $3,000 spend instead of 80k, $199, and 5k spend)

Something else to consider. If you are targeting a companion pass with a biz and individ card, you will only need the $75k+60k anyway.

I am telling you specifically about this because it would be 'safer' for you to apply for the 'other' biz card. If you read the TERMS of the BIZ card, there should be no way they can deny you the 'other' biz card. That's how I read it. Read it for yourself...

"This new Cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of this business credit card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of this business credit card who received a new Cardmember bonus for this business credit card within the last 24 months"

note the words "this" business credit card.

DM me if you have any questions or want more info.

JFalc gives great advice (repped). The two business cards referred to are Preferred and Premiere.

Preferred-80k points/$5k spend $199 annual fee

Premiere-60k points/$3k spend $99 annual fee

Premiere and a personal card are all you need to get the companion pass.

Please also don't hesitate to reach out to me as well for some personal guidance on this. It's an AWESOME promotion and I want everyone to share in it.

Noob here , please help Me understand. My wife got 80000 points from a card she current holds for 6 months. If I get a new personal card now with this promotion, can the points be combined ? She does not find any referral link in chase credit card acount when she logs in? Where will it be ? She never created an account in southwest.com

QUESTION: My wife got 80000 points from a card she current holds for 6 months. If I get a new personal card now with this promotion, can the points be combined ?
No...her points are her points. Your points are your points. (for companion point purposes, they cannot be combined between spouses)

QUESTION 2: She does not find any referral link in chase credit card acount when she logs in? Where will it be ?

Go to Google...type in Chase refer a friend. Go to that link....put in her last name, zip and last 4 digits....and a referral link will come up.

Thank you. Can my wife apply to a new business card and get more points added to her account by Jan 2023? or do all 130k points have to come in at the same time?

For companion pass qualification, all the needed points need to come into (a) One person's Account and (b) hit within the same calendar year.

Your wife could qualify for a Business card and get more bonus points.
But if her bonus already 'hit' in 2022, you need the business bonus to 'hit' in 2022 too to stack them for companion pass purposes. (and even then...the companion pass would only be good for rest of 2022, and 2023)

You can't straddle the calendar year with two bonsuses.

What everyone here is trying to do is this (to get a quick companion pass).

1. time the personal bonus to hit in Jan or Feb 2023 and
2. time the biz bonus to hit in Jan or Feb 2023
so the companion pass is good for the rest of 2023, and all of 2024.

Any chances the promotion will be extended or there will be a better one after this expires on Dec. 5th?
