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.

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?

Those do come around but it's normally for less points and only one year. If you were able to do that you should be able to do this too, it's just opening two cards instead of 1.

Agreed. Normally it's like 30k or something which is ridiculously low. After a business and personal most of the time you can get around 160k miles when the personal SUB is higher. The personal SUB has dropped to 50k was higher at 75k at the end of 2023

Did it get fixed by itself or did you have to call in to someone?
I'm in the same situation
I was in the same situation, emailed them from Contact Us on their web site and 7-10 later received an email congratulating me with the Companion Pass thru 12/31/25. So the answer is to reach out via Contact Us on their site. Told them that points posted on 1/1/23, yet CP is shown thru 12/31/24 instead of 12/31/25, asked it to be corrected.

Granted, this is AAdvantage and not SW Rewards, but sounds like some SDers may have opened and closed a few too many cards for American's liking...

I got my points from both cards, but I can't figure out how to merge them.
I called SW they said I have to call Chase? That doesn't seems to be right. Can I do it online?

Update. They said SW can do it for me but the merge will take about 30 days!!! How you guys did it?

Last month I signed up for the biz card. I planned to sign up for the personal card this month.

Unfortunately I'm just now learning at some point over the last few weeks, SW changed the personal card promos from 50k bonus points to 30k, which significantly hurts my ability to reach the 135k bonus point target for companion pass.

(FWIW I'm aware this current promo for the personal card includes companion pass thru 2/28/25 but I of course would prefer to go the 135k route & have the pass valid thru end of EOY 2025 instead)

Curious if anyone has advice here. This current 30k promo expires in 32 days. Any chance SW reverts back to the 50k signup bonus at that time...? In which case I should just wait for that.

Edit: looks like you get 20k bonus points for referring a friend [nerdwallet.com] (can refer up to 5 per year) Applause

Sign up for the business premier card which gives you 60k bonus points with 3k spend. Should get you to 140k points.

Yes, you get companion pass for the year in which you earn it, and the following entire year. So if you can earn it in early January 2024, you'll have it through December 31 2025.
But it says -through February 28, 2025.
Doesnt that make it a year? where does it say till end of 2025?
Am I missing something?

Yeah I got and spent 7 figures of AA miles before they closed my account and I lost 200k in miles. It was great while it lasted. Free flights (including business class) free hotels and free rental cars.

There is a new promo that just went live 1-2 weeks ago where you can sign up for any personal SW card and get companion pass thru 2/28/25 (after $4k spend in 3 months).

It's a solid deal, but it is different than the original promo that this thread was created for. The original promo required 135k bonus points which would give you companion pass remainder of the year + the entire following year. Unfortunately, at the moment, the original promo seems to be expired (see my latest note above for some additional context).

I haven't been following this thread since I made that comment. Is this thread now talking about the new offer where you get companion pass by getting a single Chase card and you get a promotional companion pass?

If so, that companion pass is different than what this thread was originally talking about, which is an "earned" companion pass that requires acquiring 135,000 rapid reward points in a single calendar year.

The original promotion still valid, ie CP for current year and till the end of next after earning 135000 pts in a calendar year. But how you earn 135000 has changed. Now you need 80000 pts business card and a personal card which will get you 119000 pts. You need to earn 16000 more maybe by referring someone for 20000 pts. Yes, it has become more difficult !

Here you go people! I told you this offer has too many hoops. Here's the new offer…It's for one year but still better than applying two cards and still needing some more points for CP . https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/17278678
