Heads up! If you’ve been considering the increased 60,000 Southwest point offers for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card, or Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Business Credit Card, you only have a few days left to apply!
Via Doctor of Credit, Southwest shared on their Facebook page that these offers will end June 29, 2017 (this Thursday!). And I’ve confirmed the end date with Chase representatives.
By earning the bonus from 1 personal and 1 small business card, you’ll have more than the 110,000 Southwest points required in a calendar year to earn the Southwest Companion Pass. It’s still the best deal in travel!
