Additional Benefits
Southwest Companion Pass
This card is especially useful in conjunction with a new personal Southwest credit card to earn the Southwest Companion Pass for two years with just two credit cards.
You should be aware that for pure spend on travel, including Southwest flights, you would do better spending on a Chase Sapphire Reserve which earns 5X on all flights purchased in the Chase travel portal or 3X on flights and all other travel otherwise, or a Chase Sapphire Preferred which earns 5X on all flights purchased in the Chase travel portal or 2X on flights and all other travel otherwise, which can be transferred to Southwest 1:1 or used on a range of other transfer partners.
Note: You will only be approved for a Chase card if you have applied for fewer than 5 personal credit cards within the last 24 months from any issuer. (Business cards do not count against the total, except for Capital One and Discover, but are subject to the policy). Learn more about the 5/24 rule here.
