anyone happen to know how long you have to wait before reapplying after card cancellation? i last got the premier personal card promo in 2019. cancelled the card a week ago, waited two days to apply for premier again and then got an "in review" notification. got a rejected letter saying that i had an open premier account. applied again tonight and got an "in review" message again.

For the exact same card (which it seems like you are doing), 30 days. For a different one of the Southwest cards, 4 days.

Question for the group if anyone has had experience with this - I got both the business card and the regular card. I just finished the spend on my business card and was going to start on the regular card when I noticed that I was 3 days late from paying the initial fee of the regular card ($69). I paid it today, but doesn't a late payment negate the bonus points? I hadn't started using the card at all yet so I was hoping if I called in customer service may be kind in this instance?

Did it get fixed by itself or did you have to call in to someone?
I'm in the same situation

Just curious. Is it worth it to pay for southwest flights using these southwest cards or is something like a chase sapphire card better?

This deal has too many hoops to jump…is there a simple get one card and spend X to get companion pass deal coming up? I got one two years ago and time to renew! Or is this the only option?

Unfortunately, after supporting SW and having companion pass for somewhere around a decade I'm saying goodbye to SW. Wish they didn't cut routes from ATL. Crawled back to Delta.
Any similar deals on delta?

This is the only option. But it's essentially what you said… spend x within 3 months to get companion pass. If that's too complex this probably isn't for you.

Too many hoops?

1) apply for business card then meet SUB
2) apply for personal card and/or another business card then meet SUB
3) companion pass is earned

It's not that hard.

Both cards have to be in same name and applied at the same time?

You can't apply for one and your significant other another. Both have to be the same name and same account. It's probably been noted in thread but preferred to apply for business first because that SUB is 80k points. Difficult to get companion pass with only personal card since that SUB is 50k points now. Once you get approved for business card. Recommended to apply for personal a month later (as long as you haven't received bonus in past 2 years). You could apply for both at same time but you may not be approved.

For Companion Pass, no.

I actually bit the bullet and got their highest tier card, Reserve, for access
to Sky Club etc. Nothing crazy as far as signup bonus. SW is by far the better deal but unfortunately becoming less and less usable.

I just lost Companion for the first time in over a decade this month. (I hit 115,000 pts or so).

I actually still very much loathe Delta. But they have gotten rid of my biggest grip - $200 change/refund fee. And I have found that their upgrade fee (not at the time of booking) to First Class to be reasonable on a couple routes I took this past year (+/-$100 one-way).

I did it with just one card and one spend target in 2021/2022. I applied in End of 2021 and met the spend target in Apr 2022 and had CP until Dec 2023, I'm wondering if that CP with only one card offer will come up again?
