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

I guess the question is, in order to maximize the benefit… nearly two full years of companion pass, do the points need to be earned in the beginning of the year… eg 2024 (following the Dec closing date). Prior threads on this topic have implied this.

Not exactly true. Points are awarded with each statement closing as you go. The welcome bonus is awarded at the closing of the statement that crosses the spending threshold. So it's possible that you would receive points in 2023 that may not 'count' towards companion but the spend will accumulate towards the threshold.

Also, I dont need the companion pass until February of 2024. Between business and personal card that $8k spend in a span of 6 weeks is steep for me, so I'd like to get that spending rolling ASAP and still qualify for 2024-2025. Any suggestions?
To qualify for 24-25 companion pass, minimum 135000 points need to be posted to your southwest account after 1st January. The bonus points post on the statement date following your spending requirement is met for the specific card. Therefore, you MUST complete the spending requirements only after December statement. Your statement dates maybe different for each card, so pay attention to each card and its statement date. Since just the bonuses (80k/60k+75k) are enough to qualify for the pass you don't need spending points to post in 2024. You can start spending as soon as you get the card, just don't meet the spending requirement before Dec statement.
Hope it clarifies a bit.
Just a friendly reminder for those who registered & qualified for any one of the RR promos that would give them FREE 2mos Companion Pass FROM 1/8/2024 - 3/8/2024.
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?

I'm a little confused by this. Are you saying that since he received the bonus on 2/4/22, that he shouldn't apply for the card until 2/5/24??
You are eligible to apply after 1/4/24 for one card and after 2/5/24 for the other specific family of card. Pay attention to specific family personal or business !

I need to apply the first card under the business name.
Then i need to apply personal card using my personal credit?
How would chase determine if both cards are related to same person? because first one is under business name
