Quote from JFalc :
Chase Referrals are 20k each for SWA (at least they are for me). Someone else posted they were 10k each. My referral page shows 20k each.

So go to Chase Refer A Friend site, get your link and ask someone close to you (parent, friend, brother) to do you a favor and get a credit card.

That's what I would do if I was in need --- and I'm in the same situation and probably going to do that with my brother -- but I hope his credit is good enough to get the card. (fingers crossed).

I also like the idea of the other poster to buy a business select flight for APRIL 2024 get tons of points from it....then go or don't go in April, and get the refund...that's a little shady but gotta do what you gotta do.

Or buy some silver or gold and pay the credit card processing fee (assuming you can afford the $20k outlay).

P.S. You could even offer to your friend/brother/etc that you will let them spend the 20k referral points you receive when they are ready to book........You are needing them as companion pass qualifying points...it would still be a 'win' for you even if you let your acquaintance have the 20k to spend...that person would get the 50k from sign up, plus 20k from you to spend...and everyone wins......... I may have to propose that to someone if my brother's credit isnt yet good enough for a card.
Do you have to have the exact same card to refer friend? I've chase ink and will I still receive 20k referral bonus for referring someone to get southwest card?

You do not need the exact same card to refer.

Needs to be the same category though.

Any SWA card can refer any other SWA card

But you can't use chase Ink to refer SWA - - as far as I know

For the business card, are you guys only charging business-related expenses to hit the 5k in 3-month mark? Trying to see what is eligible or get ideas... have to purchase a TV soon lol.

Historically, I've charged whatever I needed to charge to get to my spending limit (both business and personal).

If I charge personal expenses to it, I try to pay that part of the bill from my personal bank account.

The rest of the bill gets paid from my business account.

My wife has a personal card so she will get the 20k referral.
Which should I do first? Business for 80k or Personal for 50k?

Business first. Harder to get approved. You can only get one personal card so you need a business one.

Quote from JFalc :
And I'm not saying its for sure gonna happen, but, most years, including last year, in late Oct or early November, there is a better offer than 50k for the individual card. (Last year it was 75k bonus for $3k spend on individual card---happened on Nov 4, 2022) Just sayin'....maybe wait a few more weeks.

It happened. Southwest has upped its bonus. It is now 75,000 bonus points for the individual cards ( with a $3,000 spending limit). This has hit the Southwest main page this morning. Offer good until early December.

I read that Chase will offer match if it is within 30 days for those who signed up prior to today. Will update when I get a response.

I have a quick question, can you use referrals with these offers, when I looked at it in the past, when I sent a referral link, the person signing up was not able to get the high points offer, is there a way to do it that I am missing?

Got a targeted email for 75k point bonus for 3k spend on a regular card. So tempted to do it already
