You then get to add a companion for free (excluding taxes & fees), for the remainder of the year you earn it, as well as the entire following year.

Our Verdict

The Southwest Rapid Rewards Performance Business credit card provides great value. Even with the $199 annual fee, you are getting way more value for the card. 70,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points can get you a few great round trip tickets for you and your companion! If you a lot of business expenses, this card is great for someone who wants to earn the Southwest Companion Pass and possibly only open one card. You’d minimum get 75,000 points after spending the $5,000 in purchases (70,000 sign up bonus plus $5,000 1x per dollar). Then you would have to spend $50,000 more at 1 point per dollar to hit your 125,000 Rapid Rewards Points. For 2021 however, this deal is great because you ONLY need 100,000 points since Southwest is giving everyone 25,000 qualifying companion pass points!
