Need to Know

You should know some facts about the cards.

• Southwest points are often worth around 1.4 cents each towards airfare.
• These cards are known to be subject to Chase’s 5/24 rule.

Eligibility

These products are not available to either:

• (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapids Rewards® Credit Card, or
• (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card products.

Companion Pass

If you have a companion pass, you can designate someone to fly for free with you on every Southwest flight.

You can change your companion up to 3 times per year, but you must complete all companion flights before you can do that. No matter how much the ticket costs!

Conclusion

The Southwest Companion Pass is especially useful because of the good offers on all three cards. The Southwest Priority card is the best personal card for frequent Southwest flyers because of its perks and Southwest credit. The annual fee is very manageable and I think the Southwest Plus Card is the best option for more frequent flyers. The Companion Pass is only valid for one year.

Some people prefer to wait for a better offer to earn the Companion Pass. You can get the Companion Pass for two years if you wait until the end of the calendar year to apply. This also comes with a bigger bonus of points so you would end up with more Rapid Rewards points too. Some may prefer the simplicity of this offer, can't get a business card to make the two year plan work, or have a lot of Southwest flights upcoming where the modified two year approach could make sense.

For the modified two year approach you could pair this offer up with a Southwest Performance Business Card offer. After completing the spending for both offers, and earning the welcome offers, you would have earned 120,000 Rapid Rewards points. That is only 5,000 points short of earning the Companion Pass for the rest of 2023. The perk of going this route is you earn the Companion Pass earlier with the personal card offer.  You could also take your time on the Business card offer since you would already have the Companion Pass this year.

Capital One Spark Cash Plus is $3K.

Capital One has a welcome offer. It is giving up a $3K welcome offer right now and earning 2% back everywhere. You can get a welcome offer of $500 after $5K spend in the first 3 months. $3K is the total welcome offer.

There are additional card benefits.

• Unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase
• No preset spending limit
• $150 annual fee is not waived
