Chase Southwest Cards 50,000 Points After $2,000 In Spend [Use At Own Risk]

Update 9/17/19: The newer SWA links don’t work, but the ones from February still work. They are as follows:

Update 9/10/19: Just a reminder that these links are still working, some might prefer this than the 60,000 point deals.

Landing page links no longer work, but these should:

Update 3/20/19: There is now a landing page for the offers, that might make some people feel more comfortable using the links. It does say exclusive in flight only but that has never been enforced before.

Update 2/24/19: New links added, hat tip to Churner-McChurn-Face.

Update 2/5/19: New links have been added.

Update 1/11/19: These links/deals are still available. Keep in mind you can get 30,000 + companion pass for 2019 instead. Hat tip to FIRE_2045

Yesterday we shared that it was now possible to get a bonus of 60,000 points on all four Chase Southwest cards. The difficulty is the spend required on those offers. It has been possible to get 50,000 points after $2,000 in spend on the Southwest Plus personal card ($69 annual fee) and the Southwest Priority personal card ($149 annual fee) when applying during a Southwest flight and at some airports.

We now have confirmation data points that if you apply using these links when you’re not on a Southwest flight or at a participating airport you still get the bonus. Keep in mind there is no landing page for these offers confirming the sign up bonus, so apply at your own risk:

Earning 110,000 Southwest points earns you the Companion Pass. The best way to time your 110,000 miles is to earn the 110,000 threshold at the beginning of the calendar year since Companion Pass continues for the next entire calendar year. For example, if you earn 110,000 Southwest miles during January 2019, you’ll have the Companion Pass for the rest of 2019 and the entire 2020.

  • 50K in-flight offer is available again. I forgot to send the link to myself but if you know someone who is flying SW soon, you can have them email it to you.

    • I did this in late December. Gave a friend my email and they submitted it in flight. A few days later, I got an email with the 50k/2k spend bonus offer. I applied and was immediately approved. The email contained a link that said it could only be clicked a limited number of times and process a limited number of apps. It also said it expired in March. I also received a second email, without asking, after I applied saying that I got the card with the correct 50k/2k offer attached. Just got the card yesterday.

  • @will Looks like they pulled the 50k in flight offer. Do you have any articles/data points about the risks associated with Chase self referrals for Southwest credit cards?

    Alternatively, do you have any other ideas on getting a 50k sign up bonus?
    Thanks

  • I was counting on this link as the final step for my early January Companion pass! Is anyone aware of another way to get a 50K point offer? I'm already a SW Performance Business cardholder, so I can't get another business credit card.

  • Just to confirm we applied for the 50K link in late November and got confirmation today that it's still 50K for $2K spend.

  • Heads up that I was approved for the Plus card after applying with above link. Sent SM asking for clarification about the SUB (w/o specifics) and the rep sent the boilerplate message on how to receive the *50,000* points. So still working as of last week.

    • Are you able to see the progress of the SUB in the account login (Chase app or online) for this card? I got the SW Performance Biz and am able to track my progress through the Chase Pay app.

      • I can't see my progress online like my business card. I applied 11/21 for the card though and got approved right away. Sent a SM to Chase and they responded that my offer is 50k points for $2k spend.
