From the Chase FAQ:
"Please allow up to eight weeks after each new Cardmember's approval for the card for the rewards to be posted in your account."
Yes, the points would be Companion Pass qualifying.

Hi Adisyn,
Just so you don't have an unexpected surprise the day you fly...
Is your dog a therapy dog, an emotional support dog, or a psychiatric service dog? There is a huge difference between the three. Psychiatric service dogs require extensive training and have a vital role. They are recognized as service dogs by the ADA and have certain rights protected by federal law. Therapy dogs and emotional support animals, while also serving very important purposes, do not have these same rights. SWA no longer accepts emotional support animals on flights, regardless of certification. Just in case your goldendoodle is an ESA, he would most likely not be allowed in the cabin without a $95 pet fee and an under-seat carrier.
If your dog is, in fact, a PSA...you're good to go! I hope both of you have a nice flight.

Are you certain it's really closed and not just submitted? You could contact Southwest, referencing the report # you received when you submitted it. Use the contact us link at the bottom of the page and send a message.

Hello TheMiddleSeat,
Thank you for the links. The strange thing is the SWA app says, "Complete these tasks on the full Southwest site." but there is no link.
I was traveling and did not have access to a desktop.
Sincerely,
Hawke

OK, cool. I assume that 75K in points are not TQP ... you'll just get them in your RR bank.
I also noticed that TQP for A-List/ALP has this quirk on the EOY earning page regarding when points post: "Within 30 days of the statement closing date, after spending $10,000."
https://www.southwest.com/html/rapidrewards/eoy-tier-communication.html
For Companion it doesn't say anything about a 10,000 spend. So does that mean you don't get any AL/ALP TQP points for the first 10K of spend on your card?! That's ... a lot of lost points lol. I know most people are going for Companion anyway, but I'd be happy just staying AL year after year lol, Companion feels like a long way off for me even with the card.

It turns out, I misunderstood this entirely. Any points you earn with a RR CC go towards your Companion Pass balance and your general RR balance - not your A-List balance. The only CC points that count for A-List are 1,500 points per 10K spend. That's it. So the card is really only beneficial for Companion Pass and increasing your RR balance.

Sign up bonus points will post shortly after the statement closing date of the statement in which you passed the spending threshold.

My understanding is that the offer you applied for when you signed up for the card is what is applicable for your to earn/redeem, not any future offers, BUT it doesn't always hurt to ask, especially if you spend the 3K in 3 months!
Thanks,

I think this is a good feature for people who want to get points. I hear people complaining about them, but nobody is telling you to do

The international flights still depart from the domestic terminal.
The arrival flight since it is coming from FLL will also use the domestic terminal. (i.e. there will potentially be a bunch of people getting on in FLL that are not subject to customs - therefore you must be going through customs in FLL.)
I don't believe Southwest has any gates at the international terminal in ATL, so they must be either inbound connections through FLL, HOU, etc. or from pre-cleared origin airports.

I am traveling with my 4 month old baby. We will be checking a stroller/car seat combo with a car seat base at the gate. Will I need to separate and collapse my stroller at the gate in order to check it? Or can I keep it intact with all the components together?
If you have one of the blue bags or other "case" for it just throw the base in there too. But 100% collapsed as the others have said.

Upgraded boarding can also be purchased in the Southwest app 24 hours prior to departure.

@mathuyaar76 in a general sense, yes you should always look for the best redemption. Southwest makes it simple though, you'll get best value from your RR points by booking flights. Since point values are locked you can book any flight and get the same value.

Hey there! I was able to locate the post you were referring to @TheMiddleSeat ! It looks like it was erroneously reported as spam.

I just flew out of LGA today and had no issues using the flyby lanes (security and TSA) maybe someone didn’t know the rules?

How far are u away from companion pass? We took an overnight trip using Southwest hotels last year to gain 7000 points plus had a relaxing night stay away. Do soon though

The one thing Southwest did do this year is allowed points bookings to count towards A List for several months but as others have said I don’t think a boost will happen this year.
now could they give those who didn’t earn A List this year that has had it previously a targeted offer in the new year maybe I would keep checking the promotions in your account on the full website (you might even check now in case a promotion is there)

Assuming Dec is your only flight or return flight, yes it posts immediately. If Dec 27 was your outgoing flight and Jan 1 or later was your return flight, however, the points would not post until the return flight completes, assuming they are on the same reservation.

Most hotels charge an early departure fee. With regards to proof a lot of people make up excuses to cheat a system that’s why they ask for proof the few bad apples messed up stuff for the good ones.

Schedule release dates are posted here:
https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-schedules/
If the published extension date does not go far enough you'll typically need to wait another 6 weeks or so.

It is their call. Keep in mind that these inconsistencies happen because all flights are different, and there's certainly information you or I don't and will likely never know. Crew time outs, connections down stream, etc. I totally understand that it's hard not to take these things personally, and it's never fun when you're on the receiving end, but ultimately if your husband had been at the gate before t-10 he would have been able to board.

Definitely use it if you want to.
Perhaps I'm opening a can of worms here but I will say even if only one person on the reservation is A-List I don't see a problem with a family using the priority lane. Nothing has ever been said to me when I've been in this situation so you could give it a try next time you are flying with others.
What's everyone else's thoughts on that? Does everyone using the priority check-in lane need to be A-List?
