  • Spending thresholds and bonuses are Plus: $3,000 for 20,000 points, Premier: $4,000 for 30,000 points, and Priority: $5,000 for 40,000 points, each awarding a Companion Pass.
  • The promotional Companion Pass is valid through Feb. 28, 2027, and lets a designated traveler fly for only taxes and fees on tickets booked with cash or points.
  • Applications must be approved by March 19, 2026, at 9 a.m. ET to qualify for the offer.
  • Eligibility rules include no current Southwest consumer card, no Southwest personal-card bonus in the past 24 months, and potential denial under Chase’s 5/24 policy; the designated companion can be changed up to three times per calendar year.
