hey youtubers it's Colin Exelby Certified Financial Planner here and
I've got exciting news for you if you were trying to figure out how to achieve
Southwest Airlines coveted companion pass really fast you need to watch this
because guess what I did it in 53 days yep you heard that right 53 days and
it's funny because back on November 24th I think it was I wrote an article on my
blog seetheforestthroughthetrees.com and I explained from the very
beginning what you need to do in order to achieve this and it's really easy if
you're a business owner so if you run your own business and you don't have it
you need to check out my blog so back on the 24th I led you through from start to
finish what to do in order to achieve it and so guess what the very next day I
set out to do it myself and it took through the 53 days from then until last
week when Southwest sent me the email and they said congratulations you got
the companion pass now anyone you choose can fly for free for the rest of this
calendar year which is almost 12 months and all of next year 2021 that is it
still blows my mind that we're able to do that but because I qualified in the
very beginning of this year my wife is gonna fly with me wherever I go for free
for the rest of this year and all next year that is I mean 24 months and I
don't know about you but in this world where people promise things and then
they take them away you know this companion pass has been around for a
while it's not a secret but actually figuring out how to do it most
efficiently that is a little bit lesser-known thing but I wouldn't be
surprised if Southwest took this away you know now there's more information
out there on how to do it and they might say you know what this is a really good
perk and we just can't do it anymore so if you own a business and you don't
have the Chase Southwest rapidr rewards credit
cards and you haven't had them in the last I think it's two years then I would
definitely go over to my blog seetheforestthroughthetrees.com look for
that article in the 24th that tells you how to do it and then also look for the
article I wrote today yeah today I wrote how I did it and news flash it's just
following my own advice and you know sometimes we don't do that things are
simple and we just don't do it but I did it I did exactly what I did in the
the article and fifty-three days later boom Campanion Pass so it was pretty cool
Southwest was pretty good about it they were really efficient I didn't really
have to change much you know you don't go out the financial planner in me says
don't go out spending all kinds of money that you don't have or spending money on
things that you don't really need just to get a companion pass because then
obviously it's not really free because you spent all this money in order to get
it but all you really need to do is just shift how you're spending your money and
maximize these carbs in the most efficient manner and then you can be
like me and have your spouse or a co-worker or if you own the business
with somebody else you know the two of you can file for free to business
meetings to conferences to things that are around the country or if you've got
a daughter or maybe a stepdaughter and you you know you're sharing custody
around the country and she's flying back and forth I mean that might be a great
way to use the companion pass so it's really is a great perk and I would
really encourage you again if you don't have it check out the blog again one
more time, seetheforestthroughthetrees.com look for the article on the
24th of November 2019 and also look for the article today in 2020 and that'll
give you the goods so until next time good to see you tubers
