Application rules
Subject to Chase 5/24
Chase won't approve it if you've opened 5 or more personal cards from any bank in the last 24 months.
24 month rule
You can't get the Southwest Performance Business card while you have it open, and you won't get its welcome bonus if you received one on this card in the last 24 months. Your personal Southwest cards and the Premier Business card don't affect it.
Companion pass strategy
Welcome bonus points count toward the Southwest Companion Pass in the calendar year they post, and each year cardmembers get a 10,000-point Companion Pass boost. Because the personal-card limit doesn't apply to business cards, you can earn one personal and one business card bonus.
Application velocity
Chase usually approves about one business card every 30 days, and may also look at the other Chase business cards you hold.
Product changes
- Downgrade to Southwest Premier Business · You keep your points and pay $149 a year instead of $299.
