With recent changes to Southwest® credit cards and policies, knowing how to earn and use the pass effectively is key.

They explain the main paths to earning enough points to qualify, the timing strategies to avoid common mistakes, and how to coordinate personal and business cards to make the process simpler. The Squad also shares insights on using referral bonuses to get additional points and how to approach the pass if you’re managing multiple cards or family members.
