Per WN's website, "To qualify, simply fly 100 qualifying one-way flights or earn 110,000 qualifying points in a calendar year, and you’ll earn Companion Pass for the following full calendar year, plus the remainder of the year in which you earned it."
The 110,000 qualifying points are based on spend with Southwest...not miles earned on Credit Cards.
It's with credit cards. Those credit card miles sites all basically explain it the same way. You get a personal card, then a business card, and between the two bonuses, what you have to spend to hit the bonuses, and maybe a tiny bit more spend, you've earned a Companion pass. If you have a partner, they can do the same, and then you've earned enough to take a family of 4 traveling.
That may be the next airline I do. I ran into the Chase 5/24 rule, although I may have cleared it now.
