I see there's a new 65k point credit card offer as of today, which is awfully enticing. Trying to figure out whether I should take advantage of it for extending my CP status. I likely won't qualify past June 2021 without a credit card boost but if I apply for this card now, it will only help get status for the rest of 2021, correct? If I wait for a (likely less generous) credit card offer in early 2021, than the points from that will help qualify both for the rest of 2021 and 2022, correct? Thanks

Jumping into the conversation here about boarding position for companions. My companion is my now 10 year old daughter. I don't fly enough anymore to get A List, so no special boarding positions for us. Because they don't consider us to be flying on the same itinerary, our boarding positions can frequently be very far apart. Most of the time, there's no issue when she boards with me despite being far apart in position and sometimes in a different letter group. But not always....I have had a gate attendant try to tell us we couldn't board together, despite her age. Being an anxious kid, she sometimes gets really worried about the gap in our positions, fearing that we wouldn't get to sit together. Would be nice if Southwest would just treat a companion as flying on the same itinerary and check in the companion at the same time as the sponsor.
