I applied on the morning of 10/5 for the offer that was supposed to expire on 10/4. I called Chase and they said that the offer was still valid via the phone/internet as it was still showing in the system. I decided to apply and got a pending approval. I called the recon line and had to move $5k from another card to get approved.

I received my card today. It has a nice red border around the card. When I called to activate the card I was told that I would receive 38,400 points after spending $2K in 3 months. I told her I was supposed to receive 32 credits. She said that 38,400 points was equal to 32 credits.

I am not extremely versed in Southwest and AirTran. Is it possible that we are receiving Southwest points? If we do, is it possible that they can be used towards the companion pass?

Thanks for any input on this!
