We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Hurry! Southwest Credit Cards Are Losing Increased Sign-Up Bonuses Tomorrow!

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Don’t forget!  The limited-time increased sign-up bonuses on the Chase Southwest Plus and Chase Southwest Premier cards end tomorrow, October 4, 2017.

    So if you’re thinking about opening either of these cards to earn the Southwest Companion Pass, you’ll have to apply today or tomorrow!

    These Increased Offers Will Earn You the Southwest Companion Pass, So You Can Bring a Travel Buddy Along for (Almost!) Free WHENEVER You Fly Southwest

    You have until tomorrow, October 4, 2017, to apply for the Chase Southwest Plus and Chase Southwest Premier cards before their 60,000 point sign-up bonus is reduced.

    By earning 60,000 bonus points from 1 personal and 1 small business Southwest card, you’ll have more than the 110,000 Southwest points required in a calendar year to earn the Southwest Companion Pass!

    I consider the Southwest Companion Pass to be the best deal in travel.  Because it allows you to bring a travel buddy with you for practically free on any paid or award Southwest ticket for up to 2 years!

    To get the biggest value from the Companion Pass, you should earn the bonus from these cards as early in the year as possible.

    That’s because the Companion Pass is good through the calendar year you earn the points, as well as the following calendar year.  So if you apply for the cards now, and wait to complete your minimum spending after your December 2017 statement closes, your points will post in January 2018.  And your Companion Pass will be good until December 31, 2019!

    Bottom Line

    The increased 60,000 Southwest point offers for both Chase Southwest personal credit cards will end tomorrow, October 4, 2017.

    By earning 2 of these increased sign-up bonuses (from 1 personal and 1 business card), you’ll earn more than enough Southwest points to qualify for the Southwest Companion Pass.  Which Emily and I consider the best deal in travel!
