It's one day past 04/05, and indeed the banner on the southwest.com home page has changed to say 40,000. Some old 50K links might work if you are lucky.
Also be sure to note that, as first posted by Critterlynn, there is no more double dipping on Southwest personal credit card signup bonuses.

It's now possible to earn 87,500 points relatively easily with a single RR Visa Card, the "Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card." You can earn:
- 40,000 points after you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months from account opening;
- 25,000 points after you spend a total of $15,000 within your first year from account opening;
- 7,500 points anniversary bonus.
That's 72,500 bonus points plus at least 15,000 points for spend, so 87,500 points. Of those, 80,000 could count for CP. (The 7,500 anniversary points would almost always be posted in a different calendar year.)
Offer expires 08/22/18.
The card carries an annual fee of $149.

Application link.
Additional benefits of this card:
- $75 Southwest annual travel credit.
- Four Upgraded Boardings per year when available.
- 20% back on in-flight drinks, WiFi, messaging, and movies.
BTW, it is still possible to receive 60,000 bonus points for a new Rapid Rewards Premier Business Credit Card.

The statement credit version of the RR Visa signup offer has been sweetened to $250 credit and 15,000 Rapid Rewards points after $500 spend in three months. This is for a $69 annual fee Plus card.

There is now a "40 + 20" bonus offer on all three flavors (the $69 Plus; the $99 Premier; and the $149 Priority ) of the RR Visa. The 40,000 bonus points are for spending $1,000 in the first three months and the 20,000 bonus points are for spending $12,000 within your first year.
Chase is promoting in large type that "All points earned with either card count towards Companion Pass—the benefit that lets a friend fly with you free of airline charges for a year.*†"
Note that just the Plus and Priority cards are featured at the top of the page. Scroll down for mention of the 60K business card and the 40 + 20 Premier Card

SW 50k offer available inflight
I recently flew on SW 11/26/18 LGB> OAK and the Premier and Priority cards were both showing up in flight with a 50k sign up bonus. I applied for and got approved while in the air. I tested the same link with the offer once I got on the ground and it was no longer working. So seems they have the 50k offer tied to their inflight wifi.

Greetings all, I flew WN on 12/13 & 12/15, took the 50k priority offer and got approved after calling in (fraud alerts on credit report means no instant approvals). Got the 60k biz card too. Companion Pass is on the horizon! 
The link from the landing page in-flight does not work on the ground, but it looks like the specific ones I pulled do, as of this post.
Sharing here, just be sure you know which one you want as there's no obvious indication in the application which is which:
[mod note: neither of the pages linked below specify how many bonus points will be given; proceed with extreme caution]
Priority
Plus

The[ links above] still seem to be valid, for the most part, but most of them [now] give you only 40K points with the initial spend, and require you to spend $12000 add'l dollars to get the add'l 20K points. (You have a year to do it, but if you take much of that year then it eats into a lot of the CP period).

New Sign-Up Offer of 30K + Companion Pass after Spending $4k
Received a new sign-up offer:
1Companion Pass: The product is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid RewardsŪ Credit Card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of any Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card who received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Cardmembers of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Card and Employee Credit Card products. To qualify for Companion Pass, you must make Purchases totaling $4,000 or more during the first 3 months from account opening. Please allow up to 8 weeks for Companion Pass to post to your Rapid RewardsŪ account. ("Purchases" do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) To be eligible for this promotional Companion Pass offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Promotional Companion Pass is valid through December 31, 2021. Promotional Companion Pass entitles the Member to designate a Companion to fly free of carrier charges (does not include taxes and fees from $5.60 one way) anywhere with the Member on the same Southwest Airlines flight that is purchased (with cash or points) by the Member. Promotional Companion Pass travel is subject to taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed charges from $5.60 per one-way trip. Applicable taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed charges can vary significantly based on your arrival and departure destination. The payment of any taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed charges must be paid when the reservation is made. Any additional tax liability, if imposed, is the responsibility of Companion Pass traveler. If Companion Pass is earned by flying 100 qualifying one-way flights or earning 125,000 qualifying points in the calendar year while qualified for promotional Companion Pass through December 31, 2021, the regular Companion Pass qualifications will supersede the promotional Companion Pass. Visit Southwest.com to review the full Companion Pass program rules and regulations. All Rapid Rewards rules and regulations apply and can be found at Southwest.com/rrterms.

Yes but given how hard it is to get Chase business cards now many people waiting for the 2021/2022 companion pass via credit cards who don't have a legit business that has been established for years that you can provide proof of income on might want to jump on this offer.
