That triple companion pass points promo for biz flights that expired the 30th got me to close enough where I’ll cc spend the last 2000 points(and the 10x Amazon/gas points promo from chase).

Also if you are close can prepay wireless bill on my card for 2x points.

Personal and business card sign up and done. If you’re a CPA - should be easy enough to say you have a sole proprietorship and prepare tax returns. First year in business, no Sch C filed yet. Get the bonuses in Jan/Feb and you’ll have the pass for 2 years.

As others have already mentioned, the Southwest sign up bonuses as the fastest and easiest way to get the SWCP. Best to apply for the cards during Oct-Nov and hit the spend minimum in Jan to get the SWCP for 2 full years and then repeat every 24 months and you’ll always have the SWCP (you can cancel the cards after 1 year if you don’t need them). Also, best to open business card first since it won’t impact your 5/24 and then personal card second. I’ve personally been doing this since 2015 and have had the SWCP since then.

Oh dang. I only know the CSP/CSR rule which is 48 months. Good to know

What if I’m not a CPA ? I already got the companion pass last year, trying to make it again for next year, and finding it completely hard to hit it unless i spend a ton of money throughout the year

^ding ding ding lol

Can someone explain how PTO works in house? I have only ever worked at a firm, starting my first in house position end of this month. I’m used to just blocking off time on my calendar if I have an appointment (like the rare occasion I have a dental appointment, well child checkup, etc) and then going. Do I really need to take PTO for these things? I’ll be working remotely 3-4 days a week for reference and I’m talking about days when I’m remote.

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?
