Discrepancy of Points

I recently checked my points and was wondering why there is a discrepancy between my points.  I have over 107K points but yet I only have 87K points towards my companion pass.  Does anyone know why the difference?

The Companion Pass counter resets each calendar year. Were some of your points earned prior to this year?

Also, not all points count towards CP. In general, "bonus points", typically earned from shopping, do not qualify for CP. You could also have a difference the other way, having more CP points than actual points if you redeemed some points so it's not uncommon for those two numbers to not match.

To be clear: All points earned from a shopping using a Southwest Rapid Rewards Visa qualify for Companion Pass, including any bonus points.

 

All base points earned from any other partner also count, but any bonus points earned from a partner other than the RR Visa Card do not. This would include bonus points from partners like Rapid Rewards Dining and Rapid Rewards Shopping.
