I have the business card from an offer from a few months ago. Same amount of miles etc. (Not sure if I can get a personal card and grab the same benefits again in the RR No). Some other benefits when traveling: It pays for TSA (reimbursement) for 4 years. Also covers roadside assistance. If you rent a car with the card, you automatically get covered on Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver through Chase and don't need to purchase extra insurance at the rental car agency. I didn't know this until I had a flat tire and started reading through the benefits. Read through it. There are a lot more benefits than I thought. I was actually surprised. I didn't know it covered as much as it did. Also get a free DashPass or Caviar for a year.

85000 is good, but hard to book flights under 30000 single way

What is the earliest to apply this for CP for 2025 plus 2026? I can hit 3k anytime no issues lol..but do we want to wait till Oct 8th to apply or something? So the first statement cuts 3rd at Jan 8th and the 3k spend shud just be done by then?? Is this correct understanding? I already have 23K TQP for CP.

Pretty much all you said is correct. If you get a referral link, you can apply by Oct 16th I believe as it extends the deadline by a week.

Unfortunately the 23k pts you have this year don't count towards CP, but they still carry over and you'll have a nice load of points once you get the CP.

I've found that since I got my bonus less than 2 years ago, I gotta wait to apply... Frown

Good luck!

My recommendation is apply on Oct 13 or 14 using a link that expires Oct 17 --- so if you get denied (for identity verification or anything else), you can call the Chase Reconsideration line and get it resolved before Oct 17. Delay completion of the spend until Jan. This is a great jump start to start the Companion Pass effort in 2025.

The 2x points we get via CC purchases on these Chase SW cards do they count towards the CP points required the 135k? Also does this amount reset (for CP qualifications) each Calendar Year?? Thx

The Priority card is more bang for your buck, since you get a $75 credit and the 4 upgraded boardings sort of pay for themselves.

Business card is easiest if you do have a business or have a 1099 job, because they sometimes ask for supplemental information.

I've never been able to get a refund on new card fees, but I wait for my anniversary points to drop into my account then cancel the cards. They will refund renewal fee's up to 30 days.

Keep in mind that you can only get the bonus points every 24 months for the same card. For instance my bonus points dropped 1/15/2023, I have to make sure to time it correctly so this time around they drop after 1/16/2025 into my account.

I've had the CP for the past 6 years, under utilized, but it is convenient to have with my partner.

So if you keep the same card and number in 24 months you get it again? Without applying for another card?

No, you have to apply for another card. The bonuses are sign-up bonuses. What I meant was you can only get the bonus on the same type of credit card once every 24 months (e.g. Priority, Premier, Plus).

For instance, if you go the bonus on the SW Priority card on 1/15/2023, you cannot get a bonus on the Priority card again until 1/16/2025.

if anyone was wondering you can use your points to pay your annual fee. so i used 6900 points to pay the $69.

Yes, you can do that, but a lot of times you can book a one-way flight with close to 7000 points, which might be a better use of points. Good to know more options for points usage.

I called chase customer service, but they didn't answer my question. I had the Chase SW Plus (Gray Card) and previously got a SUB. I closed the account on 06/01/2023. I recieved the SUB on that account after signup in a month or two after 05/29/2022 (sign up date). The agent was useless and could not find my old card on when I recieved a SUB. Assuming August 2022. Am I good to sign up for the Credit Card to get the SUB again? Or what should I do here?

Trying to not have to read all the comments, but in short do I apply (with no referral) on Oct 8, spend upto like $2500 by the end of the year and then another $500 between Jan 1 & Jan 8, 2025?

That should trigger the bonus and then I need to earn another 50k points to earn Companion pass? How much is that roughly?

Not sure I understand the question.

Yes, you will need more points in 2026 to get companion....actually...another 40k in points....
(you get 10k companion-only bonus for being a cardmember at the beginning of the year....plus the 85k bonus, so only 40k more left in 2025 to companion). Easiest way is get two referrals in 2025 -- or the business card bonus in 2025.

Good luck.

Check your card for a rapid rewards number. Its usually printed on the card itself.

It might have looked it up and known your existing RR number.

If they gave you a new RR number...Call rapid rewards and ask to merge the two accounts.
