Hello,
I've been waiting all year to cash in on the Southwest Companion Pass deal for 2016 and 2017. Now that we are in November I want to apply for both the Premier and Plus cards to get my 50,000 points each to book in January or February. The issue is that the Plus is not currently being offered at 50k points (best I can find is 40k). Should I apply for the Premier now just to get that ball rolling and then move on the Plus when that bonus pops up? I have good credit, low debt and currently have 4 credit cards that have been open long term.
Advice on best strategy? I had about $3,500 this year in sales on eBay but don't think that will qualify me for a Premier Business card.
