Seems like the annual Southwest Companion Pass rapid rewards credit card sign up bonus is back but they don't seem to be advertising it. I believe the promo expires end of March.

Linked SW's promotions page in case they update it.

Edit: Adding a blurb about it in case people are unaware.
Southwest's Companion Pass is one of the best travel perks available, letting you choose a companion to fly with you for free (plus taxes and fees) every time you purchase or redeem points for a flight. It's perfect for frequent travelers, couples, or families looking to save big on airfare. If you fly Southwest often, the savings can be substantial, easily covering the effort to earn it. With no blackout dates and flexibility across all routes, it's a game-changer for budget-conscious adventurers. It stacks with the fact that they have often sales that are pretty good and also gift cards often available at wholesale clubs at a 10-15% discount. The BOGO plus 2 checked bags per person, PLUS snacks and wifi makes SW my favorite airline to travel with.

May be targeted. When I follow the link, I just get an offer for 50k points for $1k spend. Will need to try an incognito browser when I have some time

Edit: Tried Edge and Firefox browsers in regular and private windows and always get the same offers, just miles for spend. No companion pass offers.

OP, can you post a screenshot of the offer you're seeing?

Thanks for that. I see it now. If I generate a referral link for my account, I see this offer. Was looking to have my wife use it to sign up

So if I get the card now and earn the Companion Pass, it's good til the end of 2026, right?

So it's only a promotional Companion Pass. It would only be through 2/28/26, not the end of 2026.

does the dates make it a worse option than getting this card + the business card strategy to hit the points amount for Companion pass?

Yes - this only goes through Feb 2026. Doing it the normal way gets your companion pass through all of 2026.

I have a RR credit card already, its been 24 months - so to get this deal do I need to cancel the existing one and then apply for a new one or it would not matter. Trying to gather some feedback before applying and finding out one way or the other. Thank you...

Yes. I've done it a few times:
- Applied for RR Priority on 11/08/18. Canceled on 12/14/21.
- Reapplied for RR Priority on 02/17/22 and earned Companion Pass. Canceled on 02/26/24.
- Reapplied for RR Priority on 03/11/24 and earned Companion Pass. Still have the card currently but won't qualify for this year's Companion Pass.

Hope that's useful data points! I do believe this is considered churning, so if you get flagged by Chase that could be a problem.

From my understanding for any chase SUB or promos you need to have be 24 months (or however many months) from when you received the bonus - meaning even if you applied and got approved for the card 2 years ago, you wouldn't be eligible for the promo unless its been 24 months since then.

I wonder if that means you can still apply and get the card just have to wait to meet the 4k spend, if that makes sense?
