Welcome back, travelers! It’s just Alex and Jess here today. Pam is enjoying her trip to Costa Rica. Considering today’s all about the Southwest Companion Pass, her timing is impeccable – Pam’s not the biggest fan of Southwest.
Now, imagine the thrill of having a companion fly alongside you for nearly free (just the taxes and fees) for up to two years. That’s the magic of the Southwest Companion Pass. If you’ve yet to experience this, it’s one of the best deals in the points and mileshttps://travelmomsquad.com/newsletter world.
But how do you get this coveted pass? You could fly a hundred one-way trips in a year, but who’s got the time? The more practical route involves amassing 135,000 Southwest points within a year. Luckily, Southwest offers a variety of credit cards, and the points earned from the credit card welcome offers count towards the points needed for the Companion Pass.
Timing is crucial. Think about beginning this journey towards the end of the year. Why? Because by the time you hit your minimum spend, a new year beckons. This strategy ensures you make the most of the pass for nearly two full years. And hey, if you’re strategizing with a partner, there’s a way both of you can earn the Companion Pass simultaneously. It’s all about the game plan!
