Companion pass points question

[tiny6998]

Hello! 
Im not sure if I understand the companion pass points requirement.  I currently have 88,674 points, not including this months statement.  The companion pass points needed to be acquired are 125,000 points.  So am I correct in thinking I only need 36,326 points to Earn a companion pass? 

TIA!

For Companion Pass you need 125,000 "tier qualifying" points to earn CP for the next year. 

You can learn more about what points qualify at this link:

You also need to earn all of the required CP qualifying points between January 1 and December 31 of a single year.  Points earned in previous years do not count.  You can check your progress towards earning A-List and Companion Pass in My Account on southwest.com
