The Southwest Companion Pass is one of the most desired benefits in air travel today, and for good reason!

It gives you the opportunity to book or redeem a flight and then add a companion to fly with you, absolutely for free, minus the required September 11th fee, and with just a little planning and strategy using credit card sign-up bonuses, you could get this Companion Pass for up to two whole years!

In this video, I'll walk you through this strategy step-by-step and how to implement it in the best way possible.

The standard requirement to get the pass is to either fly 100 flight segments or get 135,000 tier-qualifying points in a single calendar year. Using credit card sign-up bonuses, typically on two Southwest credit cards, we can meet the tier-qualifying point requirement.

The three questions that are important to ask are: Which two Southwest credit cards should I use? In what sequence should I get these two credit cards? And when should I get these credit cards, both in relation to each other and the BEST time in the year I should think about doing this strategy?

The two credit cards that I would use for this strategy would be the Southwest Performance Business and the Southwest Priority credit card and credit cards, and I would get them in that particular order.

This is because the Chase Southwest Performance Business card usually has a higher minimum spend requirement of $5,000 in 3 months, so it's better to get started on that one only.

One of the most important things to know about the Southwest Companion Pass is that when you qualify for it, it is active for not only the year you get it but also the following year, so if you get it in January, you could get this past for up to two whole years!

So when getting these two credit cards, make sure to time it so that you complete the minimum spend requirements on both cards in January. If the two SUBs do not meet the 135,000 point requirement, remember there are two other ways to get more points: spending on the card, as well as the 10,000-point boost each calendar year.
