Act Fast: Awesome Southwest Companion Pass Deal Ends Soon

Note: though this offer has expired, these Southwest cards are still fantastic for Southwest aficionados.

‍

The Southwest Companion Pass is the ultimate treasure for Southwest enthusiasts and flight fanatics alike, a real gem in the sky. Picture this: you get a two-for-one deal on every flight with Southwest Airlines. Whether you're buying a ticket or using points, you can bring a friend along almost for free (you can only choose one friend or loved one for the year, so pick wisely!). You're only on the hook for taxes and fees on their ticket, which are as low as $5.60 one-way—that's about what you'd pay for an oat milk latte!

‍

Right now, there's an exclusive offer for newcomers to the Southwest card lineup. Sign up by March 11, 2025, and you'll snag the Southwest Companion Pass as a welcome bonus, valid on flights through 2/28/25. Plus, pocket an extra 30,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months after your account opens. Traditionally, earning this sought-after pass is a Herculean task, requiring either flying 100 qualifying one-way flights or earning 135,000 Rapid Rewards points within a year. These points can come from flights booked directly with Southwest, spending on Southwest credit cards, or accumulating base points through Rapid Rewards partners.

‍

In essence, earning the Companion Pass the old-fashioned way is not easy.

But here's the silver lining: secure the Companion Pass by applying and getting approved for one of the Southwest cards now.
