Question: How quickly does Southwest issue your companion pass? I can use the card for $4,000 of charges early in the first month. If I pay the card off early, will they issue the pass promptly or wait a full billing cycle?
I referred my P2 to this card and she was approved but I didn’t get an email or confirmation stating that she had used my link and was approved. Does anyone know when the points for referring her should post?
I don’t think Chase generally sends emails for referrals. You should eventually see the points show up on your account, but it’s hard to know with Chase how long it’ll take.
If I have a chase card already and my wife is just an authorized user not a joint account holder, can she apply to get the companion pass? Do I have to remove her as an auth user first?
Yes, she can get it; no, she doesn’t have to be removed as an authorized user.
Can I apply for both business cards? I have one from Aug 2024. Can I now go for the other one and get the 60k points?
The southwest portal is absolute crap. They have almost zero direct flights and costs are x2 or x3 more. Be careful!

I wonder if their system is overwhelmed. I went to apply and it is not “taking”. The form is completely filled out, I scrolled through all the terms and conditions, etc.
Just signed up for the Plus with the inflight 50k/$2k-2mos deal in November (to work towards CP with a Business card this month) and now this comes out! Have PM’d Chase to see if they’ll match, but IIRC, they’re not known for matching offers after approval. Guess we’ll see.
Chase is pretty good about matching if the new offer is public and for more points. With this being a Companion Pass rather than points, that doesn’t seem easily match-able. I expect they’ll say no, but please do comment here and let us know either way. Lots of people are curious.
Update: Chase are matching the offer! I just need to reply to their message once I’ve hit the $4,000 minimum spend. This is fantastic news and saves a business application to get to 110k!
Update to update – they did themselves a u-turn and decided that I actually wasn’t eligible for the offer and they won’t match it.
Is the annual fee waived the first year on any of these
No.
