Our Verdict

We just had a similar 75,000 offer on these cards which ended in July; that offer had a slightly higher spend requirement of $5,000. This offer is better with just $3,000 required. I’m hopeful we’ll see this offer come to referral links in the coming weeks which would give the referrer a 20,000 points bonus. In any case, we have until December 5th so it could be worth waiting a bit in order to help out a friend when applying. This offer is now available via referral as well.

The timing for applying now is excellent for the purpose of acquiring the Southwest Companion Pass. You can time yourself not to meet the bonus spend until after January 1st, 2023, and then complete the spend requirement. That’ll ensure you get the Companion Pass for nearly two full years. You can one of the personal cards with 75,000 and get a business card with 80,000 points bonus which would get you to the Companion Pass threshold.

Updates:

• Chase is also matching the 75,000 bonus for those who signed up recently under a lower offer.
• This offer is now available via referral as well.
