Southwest Extends Companion Pass Again - Woohoo!
We’re extending Companion Pass benefits.
- For our current Companion Pass Members who received an extension of their earned Companion Pass benefits through June 30, 2021, we are extending your benefits another six months.* You can now enjoy Companion Pass through December 31, 2021.
*This does not apply to Members who earned a promotional Companion Pass or did not previously receive an extension through June 30, 2021.
For those of you who are trying to earn the pass in 2021, Southwest just made it easier for you. All Rapid Reward members who had an account as of Dec. 31, 2020 will receive 25,000 points towards the pass. That means you just need 100,000 to earn the pass instead of 125,000. If you are an A-list or A-list Preferred, you get more points towards the pass.
Remember one of the best ways to earn the Companion Pass is to open a Southwest credit card, you have a number of different ones to choose from right now offering bonuses from 50,000-70,000 points when you spend a $2,000-$3,000 minimum and another 30,000 when you spend $10,000. Please consider using my referral code if you decide to apply for any of the cards. It costs you nothing and helps me continue to bring you great information about places to take your family.
Woohoo! Thank you Southwest.

New Marriott Promotion, Rack Up Bonuses Fast
The offer is similar to the one we saw last fall. The first stay earns you a bonus of 4,000 points, the second stay earns 6,000, and the third earns 8,000. This time, however, the stays must be over the weekend. A weekend night is defined as a Friday or Saturday night according to Marriott's website.
You must book your stay through Marriott and not a third party.

Happy Holidays From All Of Us
As we approach the end of the strangest year I've ever experienced, I am humbled. This year, I have been forced to slow down, explore my neighborhood and my home city. My son put it best when we were considering heading to Hawaii over the holidays, he said "we live here, why do we need to go somewhere else?"
Yep, we live here. We are fortunate to live in San Diego and lots of people come here for vacation. So why do we want to explore somewhere else in the middle of a pandemic? Good point.
So for now we stay put, explore our home town, enjoy time with our immediate loved ones, and watch a lot of sunsets. And when I have downtime, I look at travel websites and dream of a time when we can travel again.
It's not too bad. So this holiday season, wherever you live, enjoy the moments, the treasures of your hometown like a tourist. And we wait together for better times in 2021.
