Southwest Companion Pass – How to Earn It Once Card Bonuses Stop Counting

The Quick Take
Southwest’s Companion Pass lets one person fly with you for taxes and fees. From 2027 it takes 140,000 tier qualifying points from paid flights and card spending, or 100 one-way flights, and card sign-up bonuses won’t count. Apply for a Southwest card by Dec. 2, 2026, and once approved, its bonus can still count toward a pass good through 2027. Source
