New Southwest Companion Pass Credit Card Offer

Southwest is out with a new one year companion pass offer. The companion pass is the best deal for domestic travel. It is BOGO flights on Southwest Airlines as many times as you want for up to two years. You can also change your companion up to three times. 

Normally, you need to earn 135,000 points in a calendar year to earn the pass. But now Southwest is offering a companion pass and 30,000 points with a single credit card application for their personal credit card. You need to spend a minimum of $4,000 in three months on any one of their three personal credit cards. The companion pass expires Feb. 28, 2026. 

Remember you can only hold one personal Southwest credit card at a time. These are the three personal credit cards and their benefits. 

• Southwest Plus - $69 annual fee, 2 early bird check ins
• Southwest Premier - $99 annual fee, 2 early bird check ins
• Southwest Priority - $149 annual fee, 4 upgraded boarding passes, $75 Southwest credit

If you plan to hop on this offer, my recommendation is the Southwest Priority. It does carry the highest annual fee, but it comes with a $75 Southwest credit. So that. means it's really the same as the Plus. The credit can be used for upgraded boardings, taxes, fees, and flights. Just use the card to make the purchase and the credit will show up on your statement. 

In my travel coaching program, I actually recommend a different way to get the companion pass for almost two years and 135,000 points. And even with this offer on the table, I would still recommend it. You would only spend another $2,000 for the minimum spend, but you would earn an extra 105,000 points.
