I sat down tonight to go over spread sheets and plan our next move when it comes to signing up for credit cards. After doing some reading and getting up to date on new credit card rules it appears Chase sure isn't playing nice any more. They now limit you to one Sapphire bonus for any Sapphire card within a 24 month period and they are also limiting you to only one personal southwest credit card and only one bonus with in a 24month period. My wife currently has a companion pass and I was planning on getting one at the beginning of the year. We can sign up for business cards, but they still get me on the one personal card bonus for a 24 month period. I signed up for a Southwest Plus card in 06/17. I'd have to wait till middle of next year for the companion pass thus giving half the year away. I'd rather wait till 2020 if that's the case. The other flip side is this. Not sure it's been done but what if I got a Southwest Business Card and my wife got a southwest business card also but put my rapid rewards number down...… Would they blindly dump those points into my account and thus giving me my companion pass. I could have sworn people use to do this but they have been cracking down on everything.
We really like Chase and purposely try to watch our 5/24 just to keep a few spots open...it's easier since business cards don't count...,but if they don't want to play nice (jk)we might just burn the 5/24 bridge down to the ground and start running thru citibank, bank of america, and american express ect..
