Just saw that Chase is offering the Southwest companion pass as a new sign on bonus for one of the SW credit cards. The companion pass is good until the end of 2019. You have to sign up before February 11th.

Note: Just searched the B&I board and saw someone posted about this a few weeks ago in a different thread. Figured a new thread w/ this title would be a good reminder to sign up or let someone see it who missed the previous thread.

Can't have an existing southwest card and still get the pass FYI.

Anybody take advantage of this? I'm not experienced in CC churning. I have three (HD, Chase/United Mileage Plus, and Chase Sapphire Reserve) and really only use one of them and keep the balances paid off for the most part. Any reason not to get the Southwest card for the companion pass?

We are in the middle of meeting the spending requirements under my wifes name. I already have the companion from doing two cards last year with the 60K signing bonus (120K after both). We have 5/3 yr olds + a baby on the way so we can each have 1 kid on companion and newborn fly for free. Plus we have enough points we should be able to cover all/most of our flights with points & not spend any money out of pocket. We have 3 (maybe 4 or even 5) trips to take before the end of the year.
