Three Southwest Credit Cards Have 60K Bonuses that Count for Companion Pass!
Southwest has increased bonuses on three credit cards, two of them personal and one a business card. These are the highest bonuses we have seen on these credit cards and the points count towards the Companion Pass. Let’s take a look at all three offers.

Need to Know
- Southwest points are often worth over 1.5 cents each towards airfare, so for many the extra 10,000 points might be worth more than the $100.
- Points earned from this bonus DO COUNT towards the Southwest Companion Pass.
- This card is known to be subject to Chase’s 5/24 rule.
- 60K is the highest bonus I have seen on this card.
Eligibility
This product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of this credit card who received a new Cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.
Conclusion
These are great offer for all three cards and the highest bonus we have seen. There’s been previous bonuses of 50K points plus $100 credit. With just two of these cards you would earn 120,000 miles which is enough for the Southwest Companion Pass.
But these offers are subject to the Chase 5/24 Rule so most of us won’t be eligible.

I’m currently at 4/24. Can apply for 2 of these at the same time? Thanks.
You can, but that doesn’t mean they will approve both. People have had success getting both a business and a personal card on the same day, but there are too many factors to see whether it will work. Perhaps worth a try.
Can I apply for both personal cards if under 5/24 rule? If so, can I do it on the same day or need to wait a certain time frame?
Thanks in advance!
