Easy Way To Earn A Mini Southwest Companion Pass

One of the best perks around is the Southwest Companion Pass. The pass lets you bring a companion with you for FREE on any flight for as much as two years. I have had this pass for the past 8 years and wow, it has saved me thousands of dollars. Normally, you have to earn 125,000 Southwest points in a single calendar year to earn the pass, but right now, Southwest is offering a mini pass.

To qualify for the mini pass, you need to take two one-way flights or one round trip flight during the promotional period. Pretty easy to qualify, however, the pass is a mini so it is only valid from January - March 2023. And you must buy your flights, you cannot use points for the promotion. 

I earned this pass last year by flying to Phoenix for the day to lunch with a friend. Cost me $100 round trip and then I used the pass so my daughter could fly with me to the East Coast in January. 

Sometimes the mini pass is a good way to bridge the gap while you are waiting for your long term companion pass to kick in.

However, the regular Southwest Companion Pass is a much better deal because it lasts up to two years. I will begin posting about how to earn the regular companion pass in October since timing is everything. 

If you decide to jump on this mini pass, you need to purchase your flights today September 8th by registering here and flying by November 17th. Remember to purchase your flights with your Southwest Credit Card so you earn up to 4x points. If you don't have a Southwest Credit Card yet, you can apply here using my referral link and get 50,000 bonus points for the personal cards and up to 80,000 points for the business cards. 

If you want the regular companion pass, don't apply just yet. Keep watching for my posts about why and how to time this so you get the max use out of the companion pass.
