Hi need your help. I applied for personal and was approved. So all in all I'll have 50k bonus + another 10k in spend by yearend. In order to get the companion pass for the longest time when should I apply for the premier/business SW card to get another 50k bonus and the companion status ?
Somewhere around jan 2013 so as to retain it till end 2014?
How does southwest determine as to how long my companion status would be valid for ...? And is it unlimited for flights within US ?
Also, would the companion status work for fights to Hawaii ...EDIT: I do see that they don't fly to Hawaii.
thank you
ps: srry for too many n00b questions
