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.

    I let y’all know that the increased bonuses on the Chase Southwest personal credit cards are ending October 4, 2017.  But via Go to Travel Gal, there is no end in sight for the 60,000-point offer on the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Business Credit Card!

    So if you plan to earn the best deal in travel, the Southwest Companion Pass, with the Chase Southwest cards, it’s more urgent to apply for a personal card first!

    I’ll explain why.

    Big Bonuses Mean Big Travel With Small Money!

    We have confirmed with Chase that the increased 60,000 point sign-up bonus on the Chase Southwest Premier Small Business Card will NOT expire on October 4, 2017.  Even though the better sign-up bonuses on the 2 Chase Southwest personal cards, are.

    Big sign-up bonuses are always a good thing, so this is great news!  And it will help those of you who are planning to earn the Southwest Companion Pass.  Which I consider to be THE best deal in travel.

    The easiest way to earn the Southwest Companion Pass for 2018 is to apply for 2 Chase Southwest cards.

    While Chase will generally NOT approve you for 2 cards within 30 days, some readers have had success applying for 2 cards within the SAME day, before Chase is notified of the other application.  Or by applying for 1 business and 1 personal card.

    That said, some folks are uneasy about applying for multiple cards on the same day (especially from the same issuer!).  So If you’re aiming for the Southwest Companion Pass, you can open a personal card this week before the bonuses decrease.  Then apply for the small business version later down the road!

    Just make sure to read my post on how to time your points earnings to get the best value from the Companion Pass.

    Bottom Line

    While the Chase Southwest Plus and Chase Southwest Premier 60,000 point bonuses are disappearing on October 4, 2017, the 60,000 point Chase Southwest Premier Small Business Card bonus will live on!

    We don’t know when (or if!) this bonus will decrease, but we’ve confirmed with Chase that it will be available for longer than the others.
