The absolute least you could spend, forgoing any bonuses for now, would be if you bought $9,643 worth of business select fares. Then you get 1 point per dollar, extra 1 point per dollar on Southwest.com, and 12x points for business select.
If you only buy WGA fares then that 12x turns into 6x, the total will be $16,875.
Now obviously you probably will be using the card on other expenses besides just airfare, so you can balance that out for each $1 spend on other things you would reduce the airfare spend.
If you didn't fly at all (why would you want companion pass then?) then it would literally be $135,000, so out of reach for many of us unless there are business expenses involved.
A reasonable split is probably going to be somewhere around 1/3 airfare and 2/3 spending up to 2/3 airfare and 1/3 spending - somewhere in that range.
However there are some bonuses available, maybe you are even on a sign-up bonus that might be tens of thousands of the points.
And keep an eye out for promotional offers - last year I caught a 2x offer on airfare that really added up.
