One of the best deals in travel is the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. This pass allows you to bring a companion along with you for free (well, mostly free, after paying taxes of $5.60 for domestic one-way flights), regardless if you booked with points or cash. Now, the three Southwest personal credit cards have a welcome offer that includes a free companion pass for up to one year.

This product is available to you if you do not have a current Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. Chase will also not likely approve you if you’ve opened 5 or more new credit cards in the past 24 months.
This welcome bonus is fantastic if you live near a Southwest hub and plan to fly on Southwest Airlines multiple times in the next year. Plus, now that Southwest charges for baggage, this credit card makes sense for frequent Southwest travelers to save on baggage fees.
When my kids were younger, my husband and I each had a Southwest Companion Pass for multiple years, and we saved so much money on flights for our family of 5!
