Southwest Companion Pass - Everything You Need To Know to Earn it This Fall!

This video covers everything you need to know to earn this coveted Southwest Companion Pass.
One of the very best travel hacking sweet spots out there is the Southwest Companion Pass!
With a Southwest Companion Pass, you get a companion to fly FOR FREE with you for every flight you book, for two years! It doesn’t matter if you pay for your flight in points or cash, it’s free.
In the process of earning the companion pass, you will also earn at least 140,000 Southwest points to use to buy your own free flight, in addition to the free flight your companion gets too!

On Katie’s page she mentioned that if you buy $500 worth of something and return it. That it still counts towards your $3000 spend. Have you done this?

I have not personally noticed that, but I have also heard the exact same thing!!

I just applied for my business CC before watching this video. Got old info. What you recommend in my situation?

[@leenontravel]

@FouSaechao-oj6fu That is No Big Deal getting your Companion Pass the traditional way (biz card first)! You will still have more than enough SW points needed to earn the CP by getting the normal 50k point SUB on the personal card in December. With that said, if you REALLY wanted that elevated 85k offer on the personal card, you could still *try* and apply for it by October 17th with my referral link (public links have already gone back down). I had luck with getting 2 cards in a 30-day period when I started travel hacking. It's not recommended, but if it's been 4-6+ months since your last credit card application, and your available credit does not exceed 50% of your household income, it is possible you could get approved for a business card and a personal card in a 30-day window!

@@leenontravel I will for sure apply using the referral link within the next 15-20 days. Thank you

Isn’t the non-promotional window for the personal usually 1k spent for the bonus?

[@leenontravel]

Good question, @MyChannelnamedefault! For the $1k spend, you get 50,000 points, which is 35,000 less points than this elevated offer! With Southwest, those 30k stretch quite far, so it's definitely worth it spending $3k to get 85,000 points!

@@leenontravel could you explain how they stretch further please? I don’t want to spend 3x the amount for less than 2x value on this promotion necessarily
