New Amazing Southwest Credit Card Bonus - One Word: Companion Pass

 

New amazing offer from Chase and Southwest! The offer is good on any of the personal Southwest credit cards, the Plus, Premier and Priority. I'll break down the pros and cons of each card below. 

Regardless of the card you choose, the offer is:

• Spend a minimum of $5,000 within 3 months 
• Earn 30,000 Southwest points 
• Earn a Companion Pass good thru Feb. 2022

The Companion Pass is one of the best perks in travel. It is good for BOGO travel on any Southwest flight for the length of the pass. In this case, it's BOGO travel through February 2022. 

Think trip to Hawaii and take your spouse, child, friend for FREE. You can use it as many times as you want and you can change your companion three times. I have had the companion pass for the past 6 years and it has saved me thousands of dollars. 

Normally, you need to earn 125,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points in a single calendar year to earn the pass. 

So which credit card should you choose?

• Plus Card: $69 annual fee, 3,000 points on your anniversary, 
• Premier Card: $99 annual fee, 6,000 points on your anniversary,  no foreign transaction fees
• Priority Card: $149  annual fee, 7,500 points on your anniversary,  $75 Southwest credit, 4 upgraded boardings, 20% discount on drinks, Wifi on board Southwest, no foreign transaction fees

All the cards earn 2x points on Southwest purchases and 1x points on everything else.

Personally, I think the Priority card is the best deal since you get the $75 credit, the annual fee is actually reduced to just $75 which is less than the Premier. However, you get more points on your anniversary plus the upgraded boarding passes.
