That\u2019s why the next few weeks matter. (<a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/southwest-companion-pass-credit-card-bonus-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here\u2019s The Points Guy\u2019s rundown of the changes.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>What is Southwest Companion Pass?<\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a major Southwest Airlines market, you\u2019ll likely know about Southwest Companion Pass, which is most commonly unlocked by opening a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">co-branded Southwest credit card<\/a>. What it equates to is essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal: You book your seat, and your companion flies for free (or for the cost of taxes, which are $5.60 each way for a domestic flight in the United States).<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56726\" alt=\"Visiting Joshua Tree in Palm Springs\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/how-to-get-the-southwest-companion-pass-status\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How to Get the Southwest Companion Pass Before the 2027 Changes\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021-highlights-16.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021-highlights-16.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021-highlights-16-974x649.jpg 974w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021-highlights-16-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021-highlights-16-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The cool thing about SCP is that there are no blackout dates; so long as there are seats open and you are booked on a flight, your companion can also fly for just the cost of taxes. Given that we and I fly Southwest several times a year, this is a perk we use often. And it saves us<em> thousands<\/em> of dollars a year on the travel we\u2019re already taking, for fun, for work and to see family.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we love it<\/h2>\n<p>Many occasional travelers don\u2019t realize how generous this is, but as a pro flyer, let me tell you why it rocks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can change your companion up to 3 times per calendar year<\/li>\n<li>Companion tickets can be added after booking<\/li>\n<li>Works on award flights <i>and <\/i>paid flights<\/li>\n<li>No blackout dates on Southwest flights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Southwest\u2019s other recent changes<\/h2>\n<p>Well, a whole lot. For example, Southwest is now charging for checked bags, assigned seats and a whole lot more. Some credit cards like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">Performance Business Card<\/a> include a free checked bag for me and up to seven additional travelers on my reservation, complimentary Preferred seats at booking, extra legroom seat upgrades, boarding in Group 5, a credit to cover your Global Entry and a whole lot more. In a time where flying feels like the culling in the <em>Hunger Games<\/em>, these perks can be significant.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get Southwest Companion Pass<\/h2>\n<p>Through Dec. 31, 2026, you can earn the Companion Pass with 135,000 qualifying points or 100 qualifying one-way flights. (Starting in 2027, it takes 140,000 TQPs or 100 flights, as explained above.) What counts as a qualifying points? A mile flown <em>or\u00a0<\/em>a mile earned through a Southwest credit card. You also earn qualifying points through partner hotel stays, credit car rentals and more. You do not earn qualifying points through purchased miles or transferred points. See everything that counts toward Companion Pass status <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southwest.com\/html\/rapidrewards\/eoy-tier-communication.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Two ways to still do it the easy way<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Option 1: Earn it in 2026.<\/strong> Get 135,000 qualifying points to post to your Rapid Rewards account by Dec. 31, 2026, and the pass is good through Dec. 31, 2027. Card points post when your statement closes, so the statement where you meet each bonus needs to close by about Dec. 26. That\u2019s a very tight window for a card you haven\u2019t opened yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option 2: Get approved by Dec. 2 and finish in 2027 (best for most people).<\/strong> Get approved for one or two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">Southwest cards<\/a> by Dec. 2, 2026, then meet the spending requirements in early 2027. Southwest\u2019s FAQ says bonuses on cards approved by Dec. 2 can count toward the Companion Pass, and a pass earned will run through 2027. For example, the Performance Business card (80,000 points) plus the Priority card (60,000 points) would get you to 140,000 on the bonuses alone, before your spending. Southwest hasn\u2019t spelled out every detail of how these bonuses convert under the new system, so keep an eye on the Companion Pass tracker in your account after each bonus posts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Southwest card offers (as of Oct. 21, 2026):<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 15px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; text-align: left; background: #f6f3ef;\">Card<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; text-align: left; background: #f6f3ef;\">Welcome bonus<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; text-align: left; background: #f6f3ef;\">Spend in 3 months<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; text-align: left; background: #f6f3ef;\">Annual fee<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">Plus (personal)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">50,000 points<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$1,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">Premier (personal)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">55,000 points<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$1,500<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">Priority (personal)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">60,000 points<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$2,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$229<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">Performance Business<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">80,000 points<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$5,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$299<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">Premier Business<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">60,000 points<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$3,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">$149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 14px;\"><em>You can\u2019t get a personal card bonus if you\u2019ve received a Southwest personal card bonus in the past 24 months. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">See the current offers here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you open a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">Southwest credit card<\/a>, you fast-track your way into Companion Pass territory once you hit your minimum within the allotted points-bonus time (i.e. three months).

That can be achieved through two credit card bonuses, plus the dollars you spend on them. Depending on the sign-up bonus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">opening a pair of Southwest business cards<\/a> 30 days apart or, if you\u2019re lucky, a single Southwest business card during a peak sign-up bonus period of 120,000 points is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"367\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58884\" alt=\"How to earn Southwest Companion Pass status\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/how-to-get-the-southwest-companion-pass-status\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How to Get the Southwest Companion Pass Before the 2027 Changes\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-4.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-4-974x357.jpg 974w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-4-600x220.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-4-768x282.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t necessarily have to have a registered business to get a business credit card.

You should, however, wait and apply for the second card 30 days or more after your last (assuming you can meet the SUB minimum); that\u2019s just a good rule of thumb to follow in general.<\/p>\n<h3>Strategy #3: Open a Southwest personal card and a business card<\/h3>\n<p>Opening <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">one Southwest personal card<\/a> and one business card is your best chance at betting approved for both on the first go. If you have a high credit score and low credit utilization and have opened less than five personal cards across banks in the past 24 months, you should be good to get approved for one of the Southwest personal cards with Chase. These usually have a minimum sign-up bonus of 60,000 points, and as of October 2026 range from 50,000 to 60,000 points (see the table above).<\/p>\n<p>Chase is notoriously hard on card owners having multiple business cards opened in a short span of time. That said, you could always apply for a second biz card and if you don\u2019t get approved, then you have the personal card ace in your pocket as a backup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1874\" height=\"1912\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58883\" alt=\"How to earn Southwest Companion Pass status\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/how-to-get-the-southwest-companion-pass-status\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How to Get the Southwest Companion Pass Before the 2027 Changes\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3.jpg 1874w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3-636x649.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3-1004x1024.jpg 1004w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3-600x612.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3-768x784.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.camelsandchocolate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Southwest-credit-card-3-1505x1536.jpg 1505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1874px) 100vw, 1874px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Note: You can only get a Southwest personal credit card bonus if you have not opened one within the past 24 months (this doesn\u2019t apply for a business card).

You can get SCP with your Rapid Rewards account, and P2 can do the same as you. If you\u2019re traveling with a family, it\u2019s always smart to mimic what the other card holder is doing and have one person <a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/GRYMJOSC24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">refer the other<\/a> to get those bonus points.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my current Companion Pass still work in 2027?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
