The Highlights
Southwest is perhaps the most loved and hated points program.
It’s loved because of their Companion Pass and the sheer number of free flights you can earn with Southwest cards and Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers. We’ve booked 8 round trip flights with the bonus of just two cards.
It's hated by some because they don’t like the cattle boarding process and the lack of business or first class. Those shortcoming aside -- if your goal is to get as many free domestic flights from point A to point B as possible, Southwest is tough to beat.
If you have earned the Southwest Companion Pass, this is also one of the highest values of Chase Ultimate Rewards partner transfers.
