Using a card payment processor at 2.9% you'd be able to cycle $4,000 for $116 in fees - add the $69 card fee and you're at $185 for Companion Pass and 34,000 points, which is a solid deal for 11 months of pass.
I got the Priority card a little over a year ago. I was able to add the card to ApplePay before getting the physical card.

I was able to add the card to ApplePay. GPay and Paypal are also offered but I did not try to add those.
Hope this helps someone. It's possible they changed this since I did do it over a year ago.
Have done the CP many times. This looks like an easy way to get it. Too bad I have no desire to fly anymore.

Waiting on my business card, this gets in the way of earning companion pass with the full points for me. The points way will give you CP until the end of 2024.

Can you elaborate on the card payment processor angle?
When you're approved can you immediately use it, do they give you the card details right away while you wait for the physical card?

If you are immediately approved, you receive a temporary card number, expiration, and security code through your web browser. You are able to use that card number about a half hour after approval, from my experience.
For the most recent card I applied for, the temporary number was not working after about 24 hours - so I called cardholder services and they activated it. Not sure if this is a recent security change or just a one-time personal issue, but if you have trouble just give them a ring.
McCheese is incorrect. Chase won't provide CC number, expiration or 3 digit code online. You have to wait for the physical card to arrive. You used to be able to get the CC number by sending a secure message on Chase.com, but that hasn't worked in some time. You may be able to request expedited delivery via secure message, but it's possible they'll refuse because these aren't any of their premium cards (e.g. Sapphire).

Am I reading the terms correctly that current SW cardholders aren't eligible for the 30,000 bonus miles, but ARE eligible for the companion pass?
"30,000 Bonus Points After You Spend $4,000 On Purchases In The First 3 Months From Account Opening: The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months." I don't see similar limitations on the companion pass.
I just called Chase support in regards to this promotion for existing card holders.
Unfortunately current card holders are out of luck and are not eligible for this promotion. We cannot get the 30k points or the companion pass.
It's a bummer since I just got my Priority card last December so it's fairly recent; on the bright side when you qualify for Companion Pass via points you get to keep it for the entire duration of 2023/2024.
I also asked if I would be eligible if I closed my current credit card and reopened it during the current promotion. This would not work as the promo requires a 12-month wait period between closing/opening accounts.

I did a similar offer last year. I probably saved more than $1000 with CP. I'm lucky in that Southwest services the relatively small airport I live near and has a convenient direct route to where I normally travel. Even if you only use Companion Pass once, this is still worth it.
Math:
$70 credit card yearly fee. $4000 spend.
$200+ savings from one companion pass round trip flight.
($200-$70)/$4000 = 3% return
Factor in the 30k miles and that probably paid for your other $200 ticket, giving you a 6% return on money spent on this card.
Can you elaborate on the card payment processor angle?
Some people have or know someone with a small businesses or gigs they obtain a credit card terminal for. You charge your card and the bank funds the business account after deducting about 3%.
Using a card payment processor at 2.9% you'd be able to cycle $4,000 for $116 in fees - add the $69 card fee and you're at $185 for Companion Pass and 34,000 points, which is a solid deal for 11 months of pass.
If I got approved for the Wells Fargo autograph in November, CSP in December, and united explorer last month, what are the chances I get approved for this? 🫣

Does this promo work if I use someone's SWA referral link?
The 30k points and CC still apply even when using someone's SWA referral link.
