100,000 Southwest Points for Two Credit Cards (aka over $1600 in Wanna Get
Away Fares)!
One of the top credit card deals of 2011 had to have been the Chase
Southwest card that awarded 50,000 Southwest points that are worth $835 in
Wanna Get Away fares after the first purchase. That bonus dropped down to
25,000 for a few months, but is now back up to the 50,000 point level.
However, since times are changing a bit in the world of rewards credit cards
, there is now a minimum spending component. The good news is that the
minimum spending is quite reasonable at $1,000 in three months.
Ignore the part on the ad below where it says “2 Roundtrip Flights” – how
many trips you get from your points depends entirely on the price of the
flights that you purchase. You can often get many more than two flights out
of 50,000 Southwest points.
By far the best way to maximize this promotion is to get a business and a
personal card. Remember, don’t dismiss some things that you do for money
that are in essence a “small business”, and thus might require a business
credit card. Do you make cute stuff to sell on Etsy? Find good deals to re
-sell on eBay? Do you do small home improvement or repair jobs for your
friends and family? You get the idea…… If you get the business and the
personal card then you will receive a combined total of 100,000 Southwest
points. That is an impressive number, and that many points are worth $1,670
in Wanna Get Away fares on Southwest. The points don’t stretch quite as
far if you redeem for Business Select or Anytime fares, but they do work for
those types of fares as well.
Clearly $1,670 in free travel is great, but the best part is that it gets
you most of the way to a Companion Pass. A Companion Pass is obtained by
earning 110,000 points with Southwest in a calendar year. With the 100K you
receive from these two credit card bonuses, you are just 10K points away
from earning that magical pass. If you count the minimum spending
requirements on the two cards, you are just 8,000 points away. You can earn
those points by flying on Southwest, by spending money on your new
Southwest credit cards, or even by utilizing some of their partners.
Once you have the Companion Pass then you can use your $1600+ in free
flights to purchase your tickets, and your companion flies for free for all
of the year that the pass was earned, plus all of the following calendar
year. That is a ridiculous amount of free travel for two approved credit
card applications. As with all things that sound too good to be true, there
is always the risk that at any time credit card bonus points will no longer
count toward the Companion Pass. However, thus far folks have been
successful in obtaining the Companion Pass in this manner. Even without the
Companion Pass this is still one of the very best credit card deals out
there!
Thanks so much to Extra Pack of Peanuts for the links to these great and
increased offers! (For the record, these are not affiliate links, they are
just the best deal out there for this card!)
Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus (personal) ($69 annual fee)
Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier (personal) ($99 annual fee)
Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus (business) ($69 annual fee)
Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier (business) ($99 annual fee)
I’d love to hear if you decide to get in on this deal now, or if you are
already enjoying your Companion Pass from when this deal came around last
time. One of my friends has twins, and they used the heck out of their
Companion Pass to essentially fly the whole family of four for free until
the twins turned two years old and required their own seats! If Southwest
flew to the airports that I frequent the most I would be all over this deal! |
