I see Southwest rapid reward plus credit card as well as southwest rapid reward priority showing 75k bonus each.

Can I apply both of above card to qualify for companion pass or Is it mandatory to apply for one business card out of two to get fair chances of approval ?

You can only have one personal SW card so you do need a business card.

I applied for individual southwest rapid reward plus card and got it approved.
I don't own any business but my spouse does.

In this scenario, can I apply a business card in her name and give my Rapid reward account number and after eligible spendings will the points still gets posted to my account for companion-pass eligibility?

Yes. That's the easiest way to get the CP.

I don't think that's going to work... pretty sure the name of the applicant and the rewards account have to match.

Search on applying as sole proprietor, almost everybody can qualify for a business card if you sell stuff anywhere occasionally.

My wife has a SW personal card and would receive a 20k referral if I use her link. However, I only see 50k points through her link.

Is there anyway to get the best of both worlds: 75k from this offer and 20k referral to her?

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.

refer the business card, which is the 80k/$5k offer. no way to double dip if the personal referral offer is only 50k

Wait a few days/couple of weeks for Chase to update referrals with the elevated offer.

Is the annual fee waived for the first year?
No, the annual fees are not waived for any of the cards. I can't recall it ever was either and I've been at this for quite some time too. I know some cards do waive it for the first year, but not the Southwest cards.

Advice needed!
I've chase personal and business CC from past year end. I would like to refer my wife for both cards at the end of next year. Can I send her referrals for both cards via my business or personal card? I am trying to find out if I can close one of my cards before annual fees is slapped and still get the referral points next year.
