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.
Counts toward 5/24
Opening it takes one of your Chase 5/24 slots.
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.
2 in 30 velocity
Chase usually approves no more than two personal cards in a 30-day period.
If you hold a related card
You can't get the Southwest Premier while you have any personal Southwest card, or if you received a welcome bonus on any personal Southwest card in the last 24 months. Southwest business cards don't count.
Product changes
- Upgrade to Southwest Priority · You keep your points and get the Priority's yearly perks for a $229 fee.
- Downgrade to Southwest Plus · You keep your points and pay $99 a year instead of $149.
