Update: Looks like this differing language has been there since at least June. Because of that I think it’s just a copy paste error.
In April 2019 Chase introduced a new rule on the personal versions of the Southwest co-branded cards stating:
The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapids Rewards® Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card
Chase offers two Southwest business cards:
These business cards have previously stated:
This new Cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of this business credit card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of this business credit card who received a new Cardmember bonus for this business credit card within the last 24 months.
Reader JohnFromATL notes that this Performance link now states:
The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card products
That’s the same language found on the personal card. Another Performance link still has the old language. My guess is that somebody at Chase has made an error and that verbiage on that specific link for the Performance card is incorrect, but it could also indicate that Chase plans to make a change. As we get closer to the end of the year more people start consider applying for these Chase Southwest cards, because you can time it so the points post at the start of 2020 – potentially giving you enough for the Southwest companion pass for 2020 and 2021.
