The Offer
- Chase is offering some Southwest cardholders a bonus of 1,000 points when they spend $1,000 by 10/31/21 after activation at restaurants, drug stores and home improvement stores
Our Verdict
Basically an extra 1 point per $1 spent if you spend exactly $1,000. Not the most exciting offer. These bonus points do count towards Southwest companion pass.
Hat tip to lolwatisdis
Don’t overpay on your spending just to get this offer. You can effectively buy 1000 Southwest points for just $30 (though the minimum is 2000 points , and sometimes with a bit more points being purchased there a promotion where it effectively costs even less), so what you certainly don’t want to do is overpay $30+ while trying to get to $1000 spend in categories where you don’t normally spend that much in 3 months.
Ie, this is indeed a very lame offer for most people.
it’s not a chase offer so I’m not sure what the link in this article is directing to – for me this showed up in my southwest RR profile
It’s essentially both. While it’s Southwest that’s giving you the offer, it’s an offer than only applies to spend on your Chase card. Furthermore, Southwest doesn’t automatically get the info about where each of your Chase card purchases were, so Chase has to be involved in this promo on the computation side too.
Chase often outsources a partner promo to the partner for actual signup. But that doesn’t mean it’s no longer at least partly a Chase offer.
Any other link? The one in the post directs me to a 6,000 pts for $6,000 spend offer that’s expired.

FWIW, my 1000 pts bonus page was https://www.southwest.com/loyalty/myaccount/promotion-detail.html
I also see a 6000 point offer for spending $6,000.
