Signed up Dec 1st. Didn't realize that chase messed me up with a cycle date of the 20th. Now my 75k posted in December. Has anyone had experience fixing this?

Did you spend $5K right away? I thought 75K is posted only after you spend $5K.

3k and yes. Didn't look at the cycle date. They premptively put my date the 20th so it's cycled already instead of on the first

Presumably you have the business card (80k points) where you still need to spend $5K. Once you have been assigned the points, that's it. There's no remedy for that unfortunately as far as I know.

1) Complete the business card spend before 1/1 to get CP for next year.
2) Sign up for the other business card (60K points) and complete your spend starting in January to get most of 2024/2025 CP.

If you get the two business cards (80K+60K) or the personal card plus the business card plus $5K spend (80K+50K+5K), you should be able to reach your goal for companion pass.
Is it ok to grab the SW personal card direct from southwest>>Chase link rather than what is in the OP. Plus and Priority cards seem to fetch 65k through SW and 50k for same cards going directly to chase site, both after $1k spend and all perks and annuals seem same.

Am I missing something in regards to hitting 135k CP threshold?

I don't know why anyone would risk hitting the spend limit before Jan 1st, no matter billing cycle. Couple of days or weeks isn't gonna change the effect of 2 years of Companion Pass.

Free 2mos CP 1/8-3/8 - RR PROMO

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.

Was this a targeted promo?
We just signed up in late Dec, and are going to spend all 6k starting Jan 1, so that we can get CP when the first statement drops.

Was/ Is there a free 2 month CP offer?

Does the annual fee charge count toward minimum spend, or do I need to disregard that charge?

Let's say annual fee is $199, and gets charged with 1st statement cycle.

Do I need to still just spend the $5k (business card)? Or $5199+?

Planning Southwest Travel - Can I still do this? Heading to Vegas at the end of the month and lots of travel with the family in June. Can I / should I still do this? I can probably hit the $5K in spending by February. I would love any advice on this.

Fee doesn't go towards min spend.

Had all my points (137K) post on 1/1/24. Took a few days but companion pass says valid until 12/31/24. I am hoping they fix it but anyone else in the same boat or have a different experience?

In my experience, the points post on the payment due date, which means you likely hit the targets with your December statement. I hope that's not the case, but if it is it explains the 12/31/24 expiration as you would have earned the pass for calendar years 2023 and 2024.
