Similarly, the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card is currently offering a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) as part of its welcome offer. New cardholders can earn 70,000 bonus miles plus that Companion Fare after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. You can also receive one Companion Fare each account anniversary after spending $6,000 or more in the previous cardholder year. Even though it comes with a $99 cost, this Companion Fare can save you a lot of money if you use it strategically.
But the winner of the companion ticket games is the Southwest Companion Pass. It allows you to bring a companion on all your flights for just the cost of taxes and fees until the Companion Pass expires — essentially giving you buy one, get one flights for an extended period of time.
You can normally earn it through qualifying credit card spending or flying. But right now, all three personal Southwest Airlines credit cards — including the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card — are offering a Companion Pass as a part of their welcome bonus! New cardholders can earn 30,000 bonus points plus a Companion Pass (good through Feb. 28, 2026) after spending $4,000 in the first three months of account opening.
If you fly regularly with a travel partner to Southwest’s destinations across the U.S., Mexico and soon to Iceland and beyond, you can get thousands of dollars in value from the Southwest Companion Pass. So, don’t skip the chance to earn it as part of a welcome bonus before this offer ends March 31.
While solo travel planning can be fun, if you have the right cards in your wallet to keep the cost down, you may decide to bring a friend with you after all.
