Hey I snagged the southwest companion pass earlier this year and now chase has sent me referrals for the two cards generally used to get the companion pass. If anyone wants these offers you can PM me.
-Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Reward Plus Credit Card (50,000 pts after $2,000 in spending)
-Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card (50,000 pts after $2,000 in spending)
Steps:
1) Sign up for both cards and you will have to pay $99 & $69 annual fee
2) Use cards for $2,000 each in regular spending and you get 100,000 bonus pts
3) You also receive 4000 pts for the 1% back rewards on that spending so now your at 104,000
4) You must reach 110,000 in a calendar year to get the companion pass so you need to get 6000 more points through more 1% back spending on these cards or from other southwest offers
110,000 pts is worth about $1,700 in free flights and when you bring your companion free that's $3,400 in free flights and once the points are gone you still get free flights for companion till 2017. I reached the bonus limits with some remodeling expenses I was going to spend anyway so basically all I paid was the $169 in fees.
Disclosure* I will get 5,000 points for every referral that signs up
