My wife and I have each earned the CP this statement. We each plan to designate one of our two children as our companions. Our children are 3 (twins) and don't have their own RR number. Will I have to create an RR account for each of the children?

If you're a multi-year CP roller then the "rest of the year" really doesn't do anything for you. I've had CP for 3 years running so I always look at what I'll be gunning for into the next year. Same with A+. With the SWABiz points promo I'll already have least A-list by the end of this week. I don't have any of the SW cards and rack all my points in flying.

question
Total points hit for companion pass yesterday but acct states "Current Companion Pass Status: Not Yet Earned" Why? I would think it would automatically kick in.
How long do I have to wait until they recognize status? I don't want to call and draw attention to myself earning 114000 pts by Jan. 13th.
I know they will send a post card in a few weeks, but I like to see it for myself online.

Tmpy, I am in the same boat. Total companion pass points earn bar reads 100%, but top of the bar reads "Current Companion Pass Status: Not Yet Earned."
Any help on this from my FT peeps would be appreciated. I also don't want to call and draw attention.

My wife just received enough points for the companion pass today and its showing up on her rapid reward account as 117,000 points and 100% to her companion pass.
When I called WN the person I spoke to had no clue and said that the companion pass was only good for next year not this year.
We are flying on Thursday and again in acouple of weeks. Is there any special number to call to get the companion pass issued right away?
Last year I had the points and she was my companion but that was a carryover from 2011.

Bonus won't show for 6 - 8 weeks??
I applied for the card late Oct. Got the card in November. Reached $2k spending on statement that closed yesterday 1/14 but only 2K showed on my RR acct today. Called chase and they said the 50K won't post until 6-8 weeks later. I'm reading on here and everyone seems to post right after closing date. Did I mess up somewhere? The Chase website is useless for RR details. It still says 0 earned for everything even though 2K already posted to the SW website. Do I have to pay first so that's why I have to wait 6 weeks? The 3 month requirement is when I reached the spending not when I paid, right?

I also received two separate deposits, one for my normal spending and one for the bonus. They posted at different times.
Good Luck!

I hope that was a joke. The process is automatic and occurs within a day or two. No need to rub their noses in the fact that you abused the credit card bonuses to score a CP. That deal is already looking overexploited and due for extermination by Southwest.

This is normal. Wait 1 to 2 days and it should fix itself.

What am I missing here? How is it "abuse" to take advantage of bonuses as offered?
Did he do something against the rules?
