This won’t be easy, but it’s possible to get two full years of the Southwest Companion Pass with one card signup with the recent Chase Southwest Business Premier 120,000 points offer.
Previously we were seeing an end date on that signup offer of 8/28/23. However, referral links are now showing a 9/4/23 expiration.
Someone who signs up on September 4th should have at least through – and including – December 3rd to do the spend (“first 3 months”). And potentially longer, depending on when their application is approved.
One can change their card statement date to the 1st of each month. That way, any points earned in December won’t post to your Southwest account until January 1, 2024.
The plan is to spend somewhere between $0 and $2,999 before the December 1st statement closes (ensuring not to hit the $3,000 threshold). Then spend more than $15,000 (total) by the 3-month mark (December 3rd or whatever your date is).
The full 120,000 points for signing up will post on January 1, 2024, along with the points from the regular spend. All told, it should be possible to get the Companion Pass with one card signup. We’ll repost this in September as a reminder.
Regardless, it’s worth remembering that Chase unofficially tends to give 115 days for spend, see this post and the updates there.
Tangentially, it’s also worth noting that the 120k offer via referral links is now showing for both the Performance and Premier cards.
