Chase, Earn 35K Southwest Points with Checking & Savings Account
Chase is targeting some customers with a bank bonus offer for Southwest Rapid Rewards points. What makes this offer better is that the bonus does count towards the Southwest Companion Pass. This was sent out by email.

Guru’s Wrap-up
Chase usually offers cash bonuses for new checking and savings customers. These bonuses are often for $500 or $600, although we have seen a rare targeted bonus of $900 in the past. With this latest bonus offers you can earn up to 35,000 Southwest points, which are valued between $450 and $500. That’s close to the most recent $500 cash bonus. I think $500 in cash will be a better option for most people, unless you’re going after the Companion Pass. Keep in mind that you will be taxed on this bonus, as it’s the case with most bank bonuses.
Chase also a has a $750 bonus for new business accounts.
