Why You Might Want This Card

Still Time to Get Companion Status

If you missed Chase's ridiculously generous sign up bonus of points PLUS a one-year companion pass, then this can be your savior card. You will need this card along with another one of the Southwest cards to reach the 110,000 points for a Companion Pass. But with this welcome bonus alone, you’re over half way there. Remember when you qualify for companion status you'll get that status for the remainder of the year in which you qualify PLUS the whole next year as well. So it’s best to get it at the beginning of the calendar year.

You’re More Business Than You Think

Yup, even you. Thanks to the wave of Lyft, Uber, Poshmark, Ebay, etc. we are all really proprietors in a sense and therefore should apply for this card. Remember to use your (tax ID) number when applying. Beware though: this card doesn’t count toward your Chase 5/24, but you will not be approved if you’ve opened 5+ cards in the past 2 years, excluding certain business cards.



Bottom Line

The sign-up bonus on this card is great. It gives you access to some pretty fantastic destinations, and if your time frame for travel is a little flexible, you can get up to 3 round trip flights using the low fare calendar. Southwest also has a great 2 checked bags free policy that makes vacation packing headache free. The annual fee is almost given back to you in the 6,000 anniversary points you'll receive annually. Overall, do not be intimidated by the word “business” attached to this card. Follow our lead and you’ll be traveling with your companion pass in no time.

Application Rules

This business card will not show on your personal credit report, so it won't count against your 5/24 status

Your application will be declined if 5 new cards are reported on your personal credit report in the past 24 months

You'll be declined if you apply for a third Chase card of any kind within 30 days

Chase will decline your application you apply for a 5th Chase card (personal or BUSINESS) in 6 months
