Update: Offers expired.

Chase just released a new offer on the three Southwest personal cards.

With the new offer, you get 30,000 points plus a Companion Pass good through 2/28/25 after spending $4,000 within the first 3 months.

About the Southwest Companion Pass

The Southwest Companion Pass allows you to bring along a travel companion on your Southwest flight to travel for free (besides for the fees and taxes which is often as low as $5.60).

Whenever you fly Southwest your chosen companion can hop along for free for an unlimited amount of flights. Your flight can be booked using cash or even Rapid Rewards points.

Restriction for the Companion Pass

Once you earn the pass you get to choose one companion to travel with you for an unlimited amount of flights. You can change companions up to three times per calendar year for a total of 4 companion choices per year.

Do take note that there are very few Southwest flights leaving from NYC so this may not be so relevant for people living in, and traveling out of, NYC.

How to choose and change your companion

Congratulations! Once you earn the welcome bonus, you earn a companion pass and you can choose a companion to travel with. This is done through “My Account” on Southwest.com.

You can change your companion up to three times per calendar year. This can be done only by calling Rapid Rewards at 1800-435-9792. It should be a quick phone call.

Before changing companions, you must cancel any reservations with your existing companion.

Southwest says you must leave 21 business days after changing companions before being able to make a new reservation with your new companion. But in real life experience you may be able to make reservations with your new companion immediately though.

You’re able to take advantage of the pass until 02/28/2025.

Welcome offer eligibility

You cannot get approved for a new personal Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card if you’re either a current cardmember of any personal Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card or previous cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a welcome bonus on any Chase personal Southwest credit card within the last 24 months.
