Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.1. 50,000 to 60,000 Bonus Points With Chase Southwest Premier Personal & Business Cards
The public offer for the Chase Southwest Premier card is currently 25,000 points when you sign-up and complete the minimum spending. But Million Mile Secrets reader Sudhir points out that some folks are receiving an email for 50,000 Southwest points when you spend $2,000 on purchases within the 1st 3 months of opening an account.
You’ll also get a $100 statement credit after your 1st purchase.
You will need the invitation code included in the email to sign-up.
And according to Doctor of Credit, you may be able to earn 60,000 Southwest points when you sign-up for the Southwest Premier Business card and spend $3,000 on purchases within 3 months of opening your account. The $99 annual fee is NOT waived.
Call Chase at 888-883-2721 and use offer code “DF01” to find out if you qualify.
Both offers are set to expire on April 27, 2015.
This is an excellent deal because if you can sign-up for both of these offers, you’ll have enough points for the Southwest Companion Pass!
