If you don’t already have a Southwest Rapid Rewards Card, I highly recommend this card. If you sign up right now, you can earn a whopping 85,000 bonus points!
You’ll earn this reward after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening. Offer ends October 17, 2024.
NOTE: If you prefer to fly Delta, check out THIS BONUS OFFER worth up to 110,000 points!
**Pro tip: If you already have a Southwest Card, but you’ve had it for over 24 months, you can call and cancel your card. Save the link to this post and after about a week, you can apply for a new card and get this bonus again! I’ve done this for years and years and it has never hurt my credit score.**
Companion Pass is one of my FAVORITE things about the Southwest® Rapid Rewards® credit card. Unlike other companion passes with other airlines, you get unlimited use of it. Every single time you book a flight for yourself, your companion can fly with you, and you can change who your companion is up to 3 times! I’ve seriously saved THOUSANDS of dollars because of this perk.
There are also lots of extra points you can earn on purchases, too, including 2 points per $1 spent on your internet and phone services! Plus you’ll get 2 EarlyBird Check-Ins per year, and if you fly Southwest you know that’s a huge perk!
Plus! When you book Southwest flights with your points you can cancel your flights or change them at ANY time with no penalties. This has come in handy so many times for me. I’ve booked flights and then the points (price) has dropped on the flights and I’ve gone back, canceled my flights, and rebooked for the lower points!
- Just a note, this card does have a yearly fee, but the bonus points are totally worth it for me! Make sure you use your credit card responsibly and pay it off each month.
I personally like the Premier Card because it is only $30 more than the Plus Card but you get twice as many anniversary points. If you don’t plan to keep the card past a year, go with the Plus Card for a lower yearly fee.
You can use your point for flights to ANYWHERE that Southwest flies!!
Here’s a quick example of what your points might be able to get you. I just quickly pulled up their Low Fare Calendar for Salt Lake City to Orlando for November 2024. These are points for flights on those days. Roughly, you can see that you can get flights for 11,534 points each way. That’s around 3 roundtrip flights for FREE!
If you prefer to go to California, you can get flights for as low as 2,578 points each way to LAX in October. That’s 15 roundtrip flights for FREE!!
You can even fly to Hawaii using points!
Note: This is just an example. Flight prices change all the time.
Remember, you will need to sign up through my special link to get these bonus points.

I’m sorry. I’ve updated the post. It looks like we reached the limit on the 50,000 points. Now there is a 40,000 point offer available. This one is nice because the spending requirement is less but you still get a lot of points!
