Unlimited Companion Pass promo through 2022
I read on one of the blogs that WN is doing a promo where you get companion pass through 2022 if you have 100K deposited to your account in 2021. They are writing that you get the business card and personal card with 70k on one and 30k on the other after $5k in spend on both. I cannot find any mention of that promo on here. I usually see better information on ft and yet this one is not here. Any info on the promo?

It's not really a promo, that's just what Southwest does each and every year - they're just fronting everyone 25k points because of covid, so you only need 100k instead of 125k.
I am a little confused as to how a blog follower isn't aware that WN offers the companion pass when you earn a bunch of points.

This has been the case dating back years but good luck getting a Chase business card these days unless you have a legit business with a decent time in business and revenue.
A possible alternative is to get this card.

If you are under 5/24 and haven't received the SUB for a SW personal and Business card in the past 24 months you can get one SW business and one personal for CP until 12/31/2022.
My wife and I have been switching off getting CP via credit cards every 2 years since 2014.

The normal policy is that if you earn 100,000 or 125,000 points, you earn a companion pass for the remainder of the year in which you pass the threshold and all of the next year. So if you time it to trigger the bonus(es) in January, you get it for two years. That is still active, and Southwest lowered the threshold to 100,000 this year.

There is a promotion going on now to earn a companion pass through Feb. 2022 just by opening a card and spending $5000.

Keep in myind the 2/28/2022 expiration date only gives 30K points and CP for maybe 10 months. If you can get the business and personal cards you will get 100K points and CP for about 20 months as it expires 12/31/2022
It also gives you more points to purchase the main fare otherwise you'll be paying cash for one seat after the 30K are gone.

No! Only 2021 and 2020. Not 2019, 2018, 2017, etc, etc

The only reason I think it wouldnt work for someone is if SWA doesnt serve your market. Other than that reason I believe it is worth every penny. By playing the "game" for 6 years now but we live in DEN where its a pretty decent station for SWA. When this "game" is up it will be sad. I don't even churn CC like I used to to keep my SWA cards open as much as possible so I don't lose this perk.
