Anyone tried to use southwest business credit card to get closer to companion pass? Can I open a business credit card without a business?

I did and named the business after myself. Got the bonus points to get Companion Pass. The approval process took longer than a personal card. An added bonus is that it doesn’t show up on my credit report. Now i get 2 anniversary bonuses each year with my personal card too. I also monitor spending as i have 2 cards that will get me 1500 tqps per 10k spent

Southwest has two personal cards.

Right, but they are both 40k bonus points

What’s the highest you have seen?

60, but it usually hits 50 early in the year, which is when you want to qualify.

Do you get an earful for booking business select or anytime flights? I’d try if you haven’t...you’ll build up points so fast and with no change or other crazy fees flying cost is likely net neutral as far as budget goes.
