Half of what you wrote makes no sense, Prime card and companion fare ? Chase doesn't issue Companion pass, Southwest does..................the other card is called Premier

She is wrong, she was denied for a different reason, maybe one she doesn't want to tell you.

Well, I don't fly SWA, so I am not inclined to test this myself. I am just looking for info for my readers. I plan to tell them that lots of flyertalk folks insist you can get both personal cards, so try it, but confirm the bonus offer by calling Chase before doing the spend on each card. Sound like a plan?

If you are approved for both cards, I don't see any chance you won't get the bonus on both. Getting approved on both at the same time seems easy for some (most?) but not for others?

You are making the BIG ASSUMPTION that the person answering the phone can give an accurate answer. LOL!

Meanwhile, I have yet to see a post of somebody that got a card, made the spend and did not get their points.

I'll do you one better, you can get all THREE WN cards and the SU Bonus IF YOU QUALIFY for the card, income, credit score, 5/24, etc etc

BTW, Chase doesn't approve cards an deny the SU bonus, you said your friend was denied the card.

Google Southwest Companion Pass and you will see a dozen or more blogs stating you can get multiple WN cards to get CP

What blog to you run ?

Chase frequently offers 50,000 bonus points for signing up for their Southwest cards and meeting the minimum spend. There are three versions of the card: Premier, Premier Business, and Plus. The Plus card costs $69 per year. The Premier cards cost $99. The 50,000 point bonuses (found here, when available) currently require $2K spend in three months. An easy way to get 110,000 points in a hurry is to sign up for two of these cards and spend a combined $10,000 across the two cards.

Card 1: Spend $2,000: Get 52,000 points (50,000 signup bonus + 2,000 from spend)
Card 2: Spend $2,000: Get 52,000 points (50,000 signup bonus + 2,000 from spend)
Spend an additional $6,000 to earn 6,000 points more for a total of 110,000 points

Note: As of January 2018, the business version of the card is actually offering a 60,000 point sign up bonus for spending $3,000 — meaning that if you signed up for both a business and personal card, it would only require a combined $5,000 in spending to earn a total of 115,000 points – more than enough for a Companion Pass.

Ideally, you would time the sign-ups and spend so that the points would be earned as early in a calendar year as possible. That way, you’ll have the Companion Pass for nearly two years.

1 down 1 to go?
 
I've been approved for the Business card. I now need to pick up the personal plus card. Does anyone know that if I have had the personal premier less than 2 years ago, can I still apply for the plus in hopes of getting approved and qualify for the bonus or because I've had the premier less than 2 years I wouldn't qualify?

Also, if denied the card because I have received one of the bonuses on the personal within the last 2 years, will that still hit my credit report?

Thanks

They do a credit pull BEFORE they make their decision, so it will hit your credit report. Has nothing to do with previous cards. How/why would it not hit your credit report?

By the way, we applied for business and personal on the same day with hopes only one pull would show - did not work - there were two pulls.

The Personal Premier has no bearing on the Personal Plus card............if you haven't had the bonus post in the past 24 months on the PLUS card you are good to go assuming your are under 5/24, credit worthiness, etc

chase customer service confirmed this for me today. I had heard some ‘same card family’ denial stories so I wanted to be sure.

They are just that, "STORIES"

What they told you this time is true. The sad thing is they could have just as easily told you the exact opposite. It's well known the CSR's at Chase like to give out wrong information. If I ever wanted to be sure about anything, I'd look through other sources first.

I totally agree you may well get wrong information by calling in. But to say they LIKE to give out wrong information is just wrong. Actually, I think many people LIKE to say agents do that.

Personally, I believe it is a combination of:

* rep not understanding the question
* customer asking one question but actually meaning something different than what they asked
* CustRep answering what they "think" the customer asked
* CustRep answering what they think the customer "meant" to ask
* customer hearing something different than what the CustRep actually said

Add in "leading questions" such as "will I be denied the bonus if........................." Easy answer, yes...................." Will I get the bonus if..............." yes
