Here's what I would do.   Actions to take now:   Book flights for you only as two separate one-way tickets. Add your companion to your December 25th reservation. Assuming you have points to do so use points to book a ticket for the other person for the January 2nd flight. You'll have two flights booked for yourself, one companion flight booked for the other person and one rewards point flight booked for the other person.   Actions to take when you qualify for the 2020 Companion Pass:   Get in touch with Southwest (I recommend via Twitter, the handle is in the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page -or- the chat function within the Southwest app).  Don't post any personally identifying information in a public forum.  You will want to request to rebook the points flight as a Companion Pass booking.  You'll have already paid the taxes and fees if you had used points to make the reservation so you'll simply get your points refunded with no additional dollar impact. As a side note, you can double check your Rapid Rewards account to confirm the current expiration date of your Companion Pass.  In the "Snapshot" section you should see wording that reads, "Your companion [name] earned through [date]".   Hope this helps! ...

@vmendizabal2010 you should be able to get a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of booking.   If I were in your shoes I'd contact Southwest via Twitter to see if they are able to make the name change (click "Contact Us" at the bottom of the threads for the Twitter handle). Don't post any confirmation numbers or personal information publicly. ... View more

@dfwskier wrote: Chase automatically rejects someone who has obtained   too many credit cards recently. I don't recall what the definition of "recenty" is, and also don't recall if it's just Chase cards or any kind of credit card. Maybe someone else can fill in the specific details. Chase has an unwritten 5/24 rule, they typically won't approve new credit for anyone who has opened 5 new accounts (with any creditor, not just Chase accounts) within the past 24 months.  See this third party link for additional context, it's one of the few web pages to cite a written source: https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-cards/chase-5-24-rule-written-out/   @dfwskier wrote: If that's what happened, there's not much you can do. The comments in this different third party site discuss how one person was able to bypass the rule, though I think this is rare:   https://onemileatatime.com/the-chase-524-rule-explained/   @dfwskier wrote: edit add: getting another Chase card wouldn't help you anyway as Chase doesn't allow 2 bonus point payments  in a 24 month period. You actually can get bonus points for two cards so long is one of them is a business card, which is the scenario described by @aermet     ... View more
