Update 3/2/22: Extended through 3/14/22
Update: This offer is now available at a public link as well, though we ask everyone if possible to help out a fellow reader by using one of these referral links instead.
The Offer
Chase is offering the following bonus on the Southwest Plus, Premier, and Priority cards via referral link:
- Get 30,000 points + a companion pass which is good through 2/28/23 when you spend $5,000 within the first 3 months.
- Referrer gets 20,000 points per referral, up to 100,000 per year.
This signup offer is slated to end on March 14, 2022. You’ll need to generate a new referral link to see this offer.
Card Details
- Annual fees are not waived the first year
- The Premier personal card earns a 6,000 points anniversary bonus; the Plus earns 3,000 points anniversary bonus; the Priority earns 7,500 anniversary bonus
- Chase 5/24 rule does apply to this card
- How Much Are Southwest Rapid Rewards Points Worth?
- Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Southwest Companion Pass
Our Verdict
They offered a similar thing in the past. The public offer is currently 40,000 points, though no long ago there was an offer for 100,000 points.
Note that the Companion Pass earned here is valid for one year whereas when you earn it through the traditional method it’s valid through the end of the following year (which potentially can be worth almost 2 years, when timed right). This still could be a nice, simple offer for many people.

Hat tip to mikep4
I just want the normal 40k offer to show up under the referral now. The companion pass offer is supposed to be expired yet its still showing up under the referral links. Anyone know how quickly Chase updates the referral links to actually reflect the current offer?
I’m somewhat hoping for the same. Easy SUB after referral. I would get 20k to put me over 125k for CP and P2 would get the 40k. Effectively a 60k+CP SUB through 2023.
Anybody know how it works if I have my old referral link that when clicked still shows the 30K + CP offer? Despite it being past 3/14 and the page saying offer expires 3/14, will they honor it if I refer somebody? Thanks.
People on reddit seemed confident that as long as the landing page was available, you would get it if approved. I trusted the internet strangers and will be the guinea pig. Approved, now just time to wait and see if it automatically posts or not.
If you are approved for the card, will you call a CSR and inquire about the associated sign up bonus it shows? If so, please report back.
Confirmed the 30K + companion pass offer for an approval on 3/15.
It’s around noon PST, offer seems to be expired 🙁
Update: 12:15PST seems to be working now
Once I meet the $5,000 minimum spending, when will I be able to get and use the Companion Pass? Is it at statement closing? Is there any way to communicate with an agent to get the Companion Pass sooner?
I signed up for the card last week and already spent $5,000 on it.
Chase officially states, “please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus points to post to your account after meeting the spend requirement,” but I know it’s faster than that.
Generally at next statement closing it will show up.
How long did it end up taking to receive the companion pass/bonus points.
I got offered 50K through the inflight app today
Does it include companion through 2/28/2023?
I wonder if it’s worth calling chase to try to match it. I got the card back in late Jan/early Feb though. Anyone have any thoughts?
On an SWA flight today, I got an offer for 50K points through the inflight app
Does 20k that the referrer gets go towards earning their companion pass?
Yes
Will the referral page be reopened for adding the new link?
Looks like this was extended through 3/14/22
How unfortunate that all offers are now 30k + CP until early next year.
I just completed the spend on the 80k biz card. All I need now is to apply for the old 40k for 1k spend and I’d have a full CP thru next year. It was so simple and easy when I started down this path.
Sure I could wait until 3/14+, unless they extend it. But in the meantime a new loan will register, which is a new account. While still under 5/24, barely, my credit use will skyrocket.
Is anyone privy to a link to the old 40k offers? I would prefer the Priority card but at this point, any 40k offer would do the trick.
What happens if I use the new offer, spend $5k and then another 3k to meet the 125k for the year? Is my CP extended until the end of next year or does it still expire 2/28/2023? I could spend the extra, and grumble about it, but not unless I’m sure the CP is a full CP.
Thanks in advance.
I found these terms listed with the new offers:
“If Companion Pass is earned by flying 100 qualifying one-way flights or earning 125,000 qualifying points in the calendar year while qualified for promotional Companion Pass through February 28, 2022, the regular Companion Pass qualifications will supersede the promotional Companion Pass.”
there’s a 50k “in-flight” offer for the priority that you can use here: https://swa.mychasecreditcards.com/a1/southwest/50kdualinflightEmail
you da real MVP. im in the same boat right now.
Thanks for the link! Is there any way to get this to work using a referral that you know of?
