I referred my cousin, who was approved thru the link back in February, and who has since received his bonus points months ago. I never received my points tho🤔. Called a number of times, then was finally told somehow they didn't have record of it. I got my cousin on the phone to verify it in April, was given an apology, and told I would receive my referral points shortly. It's now July 7, and I haven't seen a dn thing! They keep giving me the run around and I'm sick of it. This is bad business. DO NOT REFER ANYONE TO THIS CARD! THEY DO BUT HONOR THEIR PROMOTIONS! Sickening!

Sounds like a problem with Chase, not Southwest.

and did your friend use the link you sent them to sign up, or did they go through a different link?  If they didn't use your link, you won't get the points.

Did you read the post?

You mention that your cousin received "bonus points," but not how many. Since the referral offer sometimes includes less points than the "usual" sign-up bonus, some who receive the referral navigate to a different page which offers a larger bonus. Doing so means the person making the referral receives nothing. This is often the cause of the issue you are reporting.

Nope, he used the link, and they verified later. I just haven't received them.
