Love this video! Great information. I’m in the Aviation Industry so I get free flights but my friends and family don’t. And the best part about Southwest Airlines is that they fly everywhere in the U.S even smaller airports. I will definitely be signing up. Please do a video on Hotel Credit Cards too. There are so many options

Yass I LOVE my CP! I just re-qualified for 2024. My lucky husband hasn't paid for a flight in like, 8+ years. Haha I tallied it up and we've saved at least $4000 in the last year alone with this

Great content. I have a suggestion for the Fare drop service. It would great to make it more specific. Instead of I want to go any where in the US, I want to go to these specific locations. What's the best way to get there. The best points deals for specific destinations would be good too. Basically, let us hire Nate to plan our trip. :-)

Can I apply for this card and receive the 75,000 bonus points if I just signed up for a Chase Sapphire reserve card and earned the sign on bonus last month? The fine print says it’s available to me if I don’t have a current Southwest card and have not received a new card number bonus been last 24 months. Does the Chase sapphire reserve count in that new card number bonus?

Thanks for the video. Do the Southwest cards get counted in the Chase 5/24 rule?

@aaronqueen55 4 ай бұрын

You want to get the business card first in late October. This doesn’t count towards 5/24 cuz it’s not a personal card. Then make sure you do not finish the minimum spend until January (tip: don’t go past 75% of minimum spend before the end of the year). Then get the personal card in early December which counts towards the 5/24. Make sure not to finish the minimum spend until the new year.

I have 95k points on my card can these count towards the 24/25 pass or I have to earn the entire 135k in 2024?

Would I get the companion pass if I earned the 75,000 sign up and then referred 3 friends to the card at 20,000 points for each referral? Is that too good to be true?

it's not too good to be true... this method works!

Does the chase 5/24 rule apply with the chase Southwest business credit card ?

@DailyDrop 3 ай бұрын

If you are approved for a Chase business card, then it should not add to your 5/24. Though, in order to be approved for most Chase business cards, you must be below 5/24.

Note, you still need to pay for taxes and fees on the companion.

Yes which typically are pretty minimal with Southwest!

I just got mine in the mail. I have to spend 3k by feb 5th to get the 75k point. If I spend the 3k now before the new year those points won’t count for the Companion pass. So I’ll be waiting until January to use my card a lot.

I applied and got approved for the Southwest card while watching this video. I'm a little confused about earning the Companion Pass. From what I understood from the video, it sounds like I should start earning CP points now, but finish the requirement after January 1. However, the Southwest app says qualifying points get reset on January 1. If that's the case, I should have waited until January to get the card. Please help! I mean, I have to work towards the sign up bonus regardless, but I would like to understand better.

@lisawedigify 8 ай бұрын

Not to worry, your big sign on bonus won’t hit until you’ve met your minimum spend. Best advice is to leave about a $500 margin at the end of December to make sure that Chase doesn’t give you the bonus early. What points you earn on your daily spend this year will reset, but it’s the 50 (now 75k) welcome bonus that you really need to qualify for the CP. As long as you leave those minimum spends (on both your personal and business cards) below that amount until Jan 1, you’re good to go!
