Southwest CompanionPass
1. Get Southwest Performance Business credit card for 80000+5000 points after spending $5000 in 3 months
2. Get one of the personal credit cards to get 50000+1000 points after spending 1000 in 3 months
The above 2 cards will get you 136000 Southwest rapid reward points qualifying you for a companion pass.
The bonus points are posted on the statement date following your spending requirements are met. Therefore, make sure to complete spending requirements and combined $5000 spending ONLY AFTER your December statements so that the points are awarded/posted in January and then the companion pass will be good for 2024-25. If you time it properly you can get the pass effective Jan 4 or 5

All Chase offers reset every 24 months. So if you do it the way OP said you'll never run out.
2 years ago I got 100k points on a personal card with $3-5k spend I believe.

I'm confused why there's an advertiser disclosure on this post. Maybe it's specifically Slickdeals' affiliate link but i thought that happened all the time, not sure why this has the disclosure.

What is the best closing date, to ensure you get pass on 4th or 5th ?
I'm thinking 1st day of month for both. Then I'd make final purchases around 12/5/23 ? Does that make sense? The final points would post around 1/2/24. I'd have companion pass a few days after 1/2/24. Is this doable?
Thanks
Can I close out the old card and immediatly open a new one for the bonus, or do I need to wait?

"That should not be a problem. The two rules to getting a new card bonus are
1) You can't be a current cardholder
2) You can't get a new card bonus within 24 months of the date you got the last one.
Anyone can cancel a card today, and apply for a new one tomorrow."
Just because someone puts something on the internet doesn't make it true, but what do you have to lose

How does 50,000 points plus $1000 spend get you the required 135,000 points to get a pass. Am I missing something?
EDIT: I see my mistake, they mean apply for BOTH cards.

After you get your card(s) contact chase, phone or message, and request 1st of month as payment date thus the closing date will be 4th. The points posted by 5th. Been doing it for last 8yrs, works everytime
You can only request specific payment date not closing date. If you request last day of month, weekend at month end "might" affect closing. That is why I chose the way I did.
