No.. chase personal card resets after 5 years

Not true. All chase cards business and personal reset 24 months except some chase ultimate reward which you can reapply 48 months after bonus dates.

Sorry for the noob question. But what is the value of these points? Do people only use them to buy flights? Are there any advantages of using these points on flights? Are the "award tickets" cheaper?

In my case, my wife has had the companion pass the last two years. We'll be switching it over to me in 2024-25. One thing of note, Chase Southwest allows referrals for any card… personal or business. My wife still has her personal through Dec so I'll have her refer me for both personal and business cards and she'll pick up a cool 40k points.

My closing date is December 2nd. I can finish purchase after closing anytime in December. Points will all post after Jan 2, 2024. I've done this for 14 years
No I hear ya. I was just commenting for the faint of heart folks... Wink

I'm good through 2024 and I'll be re-applying last next year.

Bus card will get you 85000 points, need 50000 more for companion pass. You have to wait 24 months from bonus date you received on your previous personal card to be eligible for bonus on personal again !

A side note for those that may not see it right away:

SW performance Business card has a $199 annual fee.

SW Plus Card has a $69 annual fee.
Is the annual fee waived for the first year?

Thank you so much 🙏 I got bonuses on 1/4/22 and 2/4/22. That's the sign on spending bonus. I'm assuming I'll be eligible for bonus from 2/5/24 then? I got some referral bonus in between. Hopefully that doesn't reset the bonus date backward?

Anyway to find out if they will offer the promotional companion pass again in December/January for signing up for the personal card only? We did that last year and have used the hell out of the CP this year.

Been wanting to do this for years and finally pulled the trigger. Got the Priority card with the $75 credit and 4 upgraded boardings because why not if I'm gonna be flying a lot of southwest with companion pass anyway.

Quick question: does the 24 month rule and 48 month rule for chase promos start at the date when you receive the bonus points or when you closed the credit card? Thanks!

I didn't read that and likely not with the bonus points. But you can check it out and let the SD community know
