Your Rapid Rewards Priority Card is one way to earn tier qualifying points besides flying Southwest. You need 35,000 tier qualifying points or 20 one-way qualifying flights per calendar year to qualify for A-List status. A-List Members enjoy:

What is a Companion Pass?*

Companion Pass is the benefit that allows you to choose one person to fly with you, free of airline charges (does not include taxes and fees from $5.60 one-way) every time you purchase or redeem points for a flight. All points earned with your Rapid Rewards Credit Card count toward Companion Pass.

Remember, as an exclusive benefit, Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers will receive a boost of 10,000 Companion Pass qualifying points every year.

IMPORTANT: Know your credit card's annual earning cutoff date.

Your December statement closing date is the cutoff for purchases made with your Rapid Rewards Credit Card to count towards a Companion Pass for that calendar year.

For example, if your December statement closes on December 16, points for purchases posted to your statements made after that date will not count toward qualifying points for the year.
