Limited-time offer

Wanted the Southwest Companion Pass® but struggled earn it?

For a limited time, you can get one year of the Companion Pass just by opening a new Southwest Rapid Rewards® credit card and meeting the spending requirements on the new card. (This Companion Pass is valid through February 28, 2027.)

The Companion Pass allows you to fly with a friend or family member on Southwest for only the taxes and fees, as low as $5.60 each way. And, you can use the Companion Pass an unlimited number of times before it expires!

Here are the exact offer details:

Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card

Earn Companion Pass good through 2/28/27 and 20,000 points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
$99 annual fee

Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card

Earn Companion Pass through 2/28/27 and 40,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
$229 annual fee

Who this offer is good for (and who should skip)

The current offer is easier than earning the Companion Pass the traditional way (by earning 135,000 points), but the trade-off is that you get it for a shorter time.

You should take advantage of this offer if...

You otherwise wouldn't be able to earn the Companion Pass.
You're doing a lot of traveling this year.
You need a Companion Pass ASAP.

You should skip this offer if...

You're already working toward earning the Companion Pass the traditional way.
You want the Companion Pass for longer. When you earn Companion Pass the traditional way, you get it for the year you earn it in, and the year following-that could be almost two full years.
You want more Rapid Rewards points. Because you get Companion Pass, the bonus points included in this offer are relatively lower.

Why Scott loves the Southwest Companion Pass

"This airline's Companion Pass is-in my personal opinion-the single most valuable perk in travel. Period.

Other airlines' companion passes are typically single-use and often require a $100+ co-pay.

With Southwest, you can use their Companion Pass over and over, as many times as you like through 2/28/27.

And your companion's ticket only costs $5.60 each way in taxes on domestic flights (including Hawaii); that's it.

I've personally gotten the Companion Pass numerous times and it's saved me thousands of dollars on flights."

Act fast! We don't know how long this offer will last.

Due to the quirks of credit card compliance, we are sometimes not allowed to use the actual names of cards or certain banks in emails. This means we have to resort to using more generic language when talking about some credit cards.

We know this can be confusing or frustrating, but we encourage you to click through to our site, where we can name and talk more candidly about the cards and their benefits.
