Considering signing up for one of the Southwest credit cards. I’ve read a few articles but still am a bit confused on the best way to maximize the benefits, including getting the companion pass. Any tips would be appreciated!

Be 100% sure you get the 100k bonus in 2021 and not accidentally before then so you get close to a full 2 years of companion pass

Companion pass is great! Esp when paired with using points. It’s ridiculous how far 100k goes on sw compared to other airlines

Lol yes 2022 thanks

Open both the personal card and a southwest business card. Get both bonuses in January. Have companion pass for 2022 and 2023

I didn’t know there was a difference. Think I did them like a week apart. Business has a higher bonus points I believe generally, but higher spend to earn it, so that first to get your expenses on it sooner and hit the bonus as early in jan as possible

Is there a good way to handle this situation?
