Chase Southwest Business Premier 60,000 Point Bonus – Easily Get Companion Pass

The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • Chase Southwest Business Premier is currently offering 60,000 points after $3,000 in purchases within the first three months

Card Details

  • Chase 5/24 rule does apply to this card
  • Annual fee of $99 is not waived
  • Card earns at the following rates:
    • 2x points per $1 spent on Southwest and Rapid Rewards Hotel and Car Rental Partner purchases
    • 1x points per $1 spent on all other purchases

Our Verdict

You can also get a 50,000 bonus on the personal premier or plus cards, but use a readers referral link so they get 10,000 points as well. You need a total of 110,000 points for the Southwest companion pass (means a companion can travel with you for free, including award flights) so getting this business card and one of the personal cards is enough points.

This is a pretty incredible offer for those under 5/24, we’ve seen a 60,000 point bonus on this card before (and targeted 70,000 points) but never this early in the calendar year (and that makes it much more valuable as a companion pass is valid for the remaining calendar year and then the following calendar year). As always read through these things you should know about Chase before applying or asking basic questions in the comments.

  • "We are unable to approve your application for credit at this time. Our decision was based on these specific reason: You earned a new cardmember bonus on the same product in the last 24 months."

    Does this mean this is 5/24 or just this card I have to wait longer on again before applying? I got charged my new card member bonus in January, so I cancelled Feb 1st. I applied Feb 8th for the Plus card. I had this card for 2 years.

    • When did you last have the Chase Southwest Business Premier? You can't get the bonus again if you've received the bonus on the card within the last 24 months, this is a separate rule to Chase 5/24.

      • This was for the Plus card. I had the card for 2 years. I received the yearly fee in January and cancelled in February.

  • Just wanted to add that the popup was not readable except "Verifying......." since it appeared for such a short time.

  • Very odd. I had my pop up blocker and ad blocker disabled.
    I was trying to apply for this card and reached the last page.
    When I clicked "Submit" nothing happened?
    I clicked again and a popup appeared for a millionth of a second.
    I clicked again and again but same result.
    In the end I just had to give up.
    I did check the "Application status" in the hope that somehow my application got through but nothing there.
    What gives?

  • Applying for Business Card has become harder now.
    Few years ago all you have to do is to mention "Sole Proprietor" but now there are three more categories you have to fill up:

    Select a business category

    Select a business type

    Select a business subtype

    Also there is no option to put "zero" in the number of years in business for business startup like me :)
    I really don't want to lie on my application so I didn't apply.

  • Applied in mid November for both personal and business Southwest... way over 5/24. Sent secure message to be matched for 60,000 offer.

    Thank you for contacting us about the enrollment offer on
    your Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Premier business
    card ending in xxxx.

    Upon review I find that the enrollment offer for this
    account is to receive 50,000 Rapid Reward Points after
    spending $2,000.00 within the first 3 months the account
    is open.

    We have received your request for an enrollment bonus
    Offer of 60,000 Reward Points after spending $3,000.00
    within the first 3 months the account is open. I see that
    you have met the required spend of $3,000.00 and I will be
    happy to match this new offer.
    Suzy, the initial 50,000 Reward Points have been issued
    and reflects on your January 02, 2017 statement. I have
    added the additional 10,000 Reward points to your account
    and this will reflect on your February 02, 2017 statement.
    We appreciate your business and thank you for being a
    Chase customer.

  • A newb question I'm sure so my apologies. I got a Personal Premier and Business Premier card back in 2014 and got the Companion Pass for 2014/2015. It's been over two years since I got the cards which I'm pretty sure means I'm eligible to get the signup bonuses again right? If so, what are the recommended steps to do that? Do I need to cancel both cards first? Any help would be appreciated!

  • I applied, way over 5/24, got the decision pending notification. Should I call reconsideration or wait it out? I do have multiple Chase cards I could move credit from to go towards this card. Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.

    • AFAIK, this card should not work for those over 5/24 so I guess I'd say it's just a waste of time to call.

  • Is there a link to Plus Business anymore? I have the non-business Plus and Premier. I need to get both business cards to get CP again.
