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.

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.

    Link:   8 Easy Steps to the Companion Pass

    All 4 Southwest credit cards are currently offering a 50,000 point sign-up bonus after you spend $2,000 within 3 months.  But this offer has been around for ~2 months which is longer than usual, so I was expecting it to end soon.  And I’ve been told that it is ending by the middle of next week.

    That said, the 50,000 points offer comes and goes quite frequently.  So it should be back.  And usually you can find at least 1 version (there are 4 versions!) of the Southwest card with a 50,000 point bonus.  But it could be better to apply now, if you’re looking for 1 specific version of the Southwest card.

    Why Should I Get the Southwest Credit Card?

    The Southwest credit cards are my favorite cards for domestic travel because they are a great way for many folks to have Big Travel with Small Money within the US!

    It is extremely easy to use Southwest points and everyone gets 2 free checked bags on Southwest!

    50,000 Southwest points are worth:

    The points from Southwest credit cards count towards the Companion Pass.  Here’s a post on how to pick the 2 Southwest cards that are best for you.  The sign-up bonus from 2 cards will get you most of the way to the Companion Pass.

    The Companion Pass is a great deal because you can get up to 2 years worth of Big Travel for free (~$2.50 in taxes and fees each way)!  The Southwest credit cards have helped us earn the Companion Pass twice.  Now every time I fly, Emily flies with me for (almost) free!

    If you are trying to get the Companion Pass, make sure you don’t make these 3 common mistakes!

    With the Companion Pass You Can Get Up to ~$3,674 Worth of Travel!

    Southwest starts flying to the Caribbean starting July 1, 2014 and you can use the Companion Pass for those flights.

    After July 1, 2014 You Can Use Your Southwest Points to Fly to the Caribbean!

    Bottom Line

    The Southwest Premier card 50,000 point offer has been around longer than usual.  So it shouldn’t be a surprise it is ending on March 9, 2014.  That said, this offer comes and goes every 3 to 4 months so don’t worry if you miss it!

    And I suspect that at least 1 version of the Southwest card will still have the 50,000 point sign-up bonus.
