Southwest Companion Pass — Offer Combo Calculator

Compare how today's card offers can combine to help you reach the 135,000 points you need to earn a Southwest Companion Pass. See total annual fees, how short you'd be (if at all), and if there are any restrictions on when you could do your spending.

Log into Southwest and go into your account. This is not your Rapid Rewards points balance. The tracker shows how many Companion Pass qualifying points you have YTD.

All spend counted at 1 point per $1 (card multipliers don't change how fast you reach the pass). The 10,000-point boost counts once per calendar year for holding a Southwest credit card. Deadlines and spend caps in the full plan are shown a little tighter than strictly required, on purpose, as a safety margin. These tools assume you understand the basics from the Southwest Companion Pass Bootcamp. Southwest says no Companion Pass changes are coming, but strategies would shift if that changed — always verify offers against Chase / Southwest before applying.
