We earned via hotel transfers for a long time, but if I'm not mistaken, our first CC CP was a 100,000 bonus with a single personal card. I didn't really keep up with the bonuses before or since. Honestly, I'm just amazed every year when they decide to continued allowing sign up bonuses to count.

This is clearly a very good thing Southwest has done to recognize its loyal customers.
However, as an A-List member and Companion Pass holder who went out of my way to earn my Companion Pass for all of 2021, I do feel slighted.
(*Unless I completely missed something...)
Perhaps Southwest will consider some additional points toward Companion Pass qualification for 2022 for those of us in this situation.

UPDATE: I did get an actual call back from someone in response to my email, but no movement on the policy.

At first I giggled at this, because oh, no, I would never go out of my way to get all my folks to let me charge things for them. Then I realized that the clerk that handles my reimbursements is probably completely aware that I get a lot more hands on with purchasing every time I have a hefty spend requirement. Judge not =p

That's funny! Let's see what did I pay for other people, Lasix surgery, dog adoption and subsequent vet bills, 2 sports season tickets, a mountain bike..........

Very rural funeral home, they had to call the bank to figure out how to do it. Everything seems to run on checks and cash out there.

I hope something is in the cards for WN "Elites." My Companion and I (A-List) haven't flown due to Covid for almost 18 months and have only one scheduled R/T this October. We've had to cancel 2 R/Ts this spring and summer due to cruise cancellations. Clearly, now with Delta, the mayhem continues.

Southwest was first with generous extensions of status and a creative option to change travel funds into non expiring points. Since then Delta has led the efforts to maintain customer allegiance.
