Southwest 50k points for business and personal cards?
I have signed up for a southwest chase business card and it has arrived. I was also going to sign up for a personal card so I would be able to get 50k points x2 and then hit the 110k points for the companion card. My concern is this text:

Apply for the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Plus Card1 and get ready to get away. You'll earn 50,000 bonus points after you spend $2,000 on purchases in your first 3 months your account is open.2 This bonus offer is available to you as long as you have not received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 24 months.
Will they deny the 50k points on the personal card because the business card receives it or will they both be eligible because personal is separate from business, even though it's the same rapid rewards number?

The business and personal version of this card are definitely separate products, so the fact that you have one won't, by itself, mess up bonuses on the other.

This is true of all "card families" - for example, I have both personal and business versions of some cards, like the Club Carlson visa. Yes, that's not a Chase card, but it doesn't matter - they're different products; indeed, they are even governed by different regulations (the regulations on business cards are far more in the lender's favor).

The bonus points from the credit card count as Tier Qualifying Points?

There are numerous threads about these cards already, and tons of posts about this very question.

Nope, but they are CPQPs (Companion Pass).

I sure wish the bloggers who are pumping the hell out of this stuff would explain it right and save us here the agony of seeing the same posts hundreds of times.

And that the people giving the bloggers hundreds of dollars in credit card app commissions would ask their questions over there.
