Southwest is out with another offer this week to earn a promotional Companion Pass good from January 6th to March 6th of next year. This is very similar to an offer they published last year around this time and worked well for me as a bridge to my full Companion Pass while meeting the minimum spend on the Southwest Performance Business card.
Key Terms
As with most Southwest promotions, it is important to understand that you must register for the promotion BEFORE you book your qualifying flight. If you have an existing flight in the promotion window that has not gone up in price, you could cancel and rebook this week to take advantage of the promotion.
Register and book a round trip (or 2 one-ways) by this Thursday the 28th. Basic fares do not qualify!
Complete the travel by 11/15
Receive the promotional Companion Pass good from 1/6/26 through 3/6/26
If you already have travel planned in this window and even one flight planned or likely in the 1/6-3/6 window next year, this can be a great deal. For those trying to time the welcome bonus on the current 100k credit card offers to hit in very early 2026, this could bridge the gap to earning the full companion pass for 2 months.
