Quote from new_berlin :
Is it necessary to for both bonuses to hit at same time for companion pass? if i already have 80+k miles promo from personal card from a couple years ago which are unused, can i just do the business card in nov and get bonus in jan for companion?
You can't use those from a couple years ago.

The companion pass qualifying points reset each Jan 1....so you want to have all your large batches of points hitting in the same calendar year.

That is why people will get this card today and delay the finishing of the '$3,000 spend' until early Jan, so they can then get the 85,000 bonus points in January and continue to work the points system to complete the companion pass in 2025


P.S. Another misconception is that you have to 'use up points for' or 'pay for' a companion pass. If you get the 135,000 qualifying companion points in a calendar year (and you get 10,000 free at year startup if you have a credit card), you don't 'pay for the pass'. It's a free perk. You still have those 100,000+ points in your account to use for flights.

I am more than 24 months since I last received a sign up bonus then canceled the card last week. If I re-applied today, is that enough of a wait to be eligible for the sing up bonus again? Thanks!
I'd get a referral link from a current card holder since it extends the offer to the 17th. Mine show that you have to apply by 10/17. That'll give you closer to 2 weeks.

I think this depends on what your statement close date was.

In my experience, Chase seems to consider the account still open through the statement close date.

Same, mine shows "Offer ends 10/17/2024"

I have all four left. I hope this SWA deal works for everyone. It's almost over for this heightened bonus opportunity...probably until March (if past years are an indication).

I also wonder how SWA is going to treat these 'perks' like early bird checkin and early boarding (A1-A15) after reserved seating hits midyear 2025.

I applied for the card about 2 days ago, planning to hit the 3k in early January to get the 85k points towards cp.

If I apply for a business card now also, do I do the same thing and wait until January to hit the bonus? Or can I hit that bonus first this year and then the non-business bonus in January?

You will need to hit BOTH BONUSES in 2025 so delay the biz spending completion date to January.

I'm trying to figure out an optimal due date for the following situation in order for points to post in 2025:

I'm assuming points are awarded on statement date.

It appears I have a due date of the 17th and a statement date of the 20th (28-day grace period?).

I want a statement date before the 10th as I'm plan a large payment around that date.

Would I be correct in choosing a due date some time between the 1st and 5th?
