I have the chase southwest card and we decided to use that card as our primary method of payment to rack up points. After a few months of doing this I went to register for a promotion (which I have been doing all along) but this time I get a message that says this card is no eligible for the promotion. Nothing in the fine print would indicate why this card wouldn't qualify. Then a new promotion came out and I tried to register for that one and I got the same message. Am I being penalized because I use the card too much? I tried emailing but not getting any response. They even spend the money to send a postcard to my house telling me about the promotion, but again I cannot register for it. Makes no sense to me!

So when I look in my account at recent transactions and choose to filter by all points earned for each flight I have a certain amount of points earned. When I change the filter to Companion Pass Qualifying Points, the amounts are small. Why is that? For example on a Flight I earned 961 points (under Point Type All). When I change the filter to Point Type Companion Pass Qualifying Points, that same flight shows 769. How are these calculated differently?

So I was just thinking about how we could travel for less and this idea came to me. Wondering if this would work? I travel a ton for work, usually earn around 70K points a year. If I was to apply for the premiere card (i already have the plus) and get the 50k bonus points that would qualify me for companion pass. Then if my wife applies for the plus card gets 50K then a few months later the premiere card and gets an additonal 50K that would put her at 100K points. We would have to spend $4000 to qualify for the bonus so that puts her at a total of 104K points. She just needs to yearn an additional 6K to qualify. Then we each name one of our kids as companions and we Fly our family of 4 for the price of 2? Could that actually work?
