Share with a friend

The Southwest 50,000 point credit card is back. But you should hurry because these links probably won’t be around much longer.

Update: The credit card offer in this post is no longer available. The new offer is 85,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months. Check our credit card page for the latest offers.

Southwest 50,000 point credit card offer is back for the Southwest Premier cards

There are 3 Southwest Airlines credit cards that offer 50,000 points after spending $1,000 in purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account.

Update: The credit card offer in this post is no longer available. The new offer is 85,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months. Check our credit card page for the latest offers.

Free Travel for 2 Years

The sign-up bonus counts towards the 135,000 points you need to get a Southwest Companion Pass. The Companion Pass lets you bring someone with you every time you travel on Southwest Airlines.

By getting two Southwest credit cards and completing the minimum spending, you will earn a Southwest Companion Pass. So you and a friend can fly free for two years. You only pay airport taxes and fees of about $10.

The Southwest Companion Pass is good for the year you earned it AND until the end of the following year.

It’s a great deal for families. Because your companion can be anyone: your spouse, child, family member, or friend. Each parent can earn a Companion Pass, choose a child as their companion, and your family travels for free.

You can easily earn the 135,000 Southwest points in one week. Check out the step-by-step details in my how to fly free for two years post.

2 Cards in 1 Day

Chase doesn’t let you apply for two personal cards at the same time. But because the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card is a personal card and the Southwest® Rapid Rewards® Premier Business Credit Card is a business card, you can apply for both cards on the same day.

Conclusion

The 60,000 point sign-up bonus is back on the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card. But this offer could be pulled soon. Update: The new offer on the personal card is 50,000 points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months of opening your account.

This is the best time to apply for the Southwest 60,000 point credit card if you want to earn a Southwest Companion Pass.

The sign-up bonus counts towards the Southwest Companion Pass. So getting two credit cards and meeting the minimum spending to earn 135,000 points, lets you fly free for two years.
