SW Visa 50,000 pts - nonpremium visa offers?

[magickingdomprincess]

Are there currently any SW Visa deals to get the 50,000 bonus points on the "regular" SW Visa (with the $69/year fee), not the premium with the $100 fee?


Thanks!

I don't believe there is right now (at least everything I read said there wasn't). I just recently applied for the $99 one because I couldn't find the other one.

I found one a couple of weeks ago, not sure if it is still active but I'll send you a PM.

The $69 card used to only qualify for 25000 points.

I don't think I ever saw it for 50k except for the $99 card.

The $69 card does qualify for 50,000 points. We got that offer last year.

OP, you may want to cruise through my thread from last month - I was initially after the 50k points but then some savvy folks advised me about getting both cards to hit 100k bonus points, which puts you well on your way to getting a free companion pass for the remainder of the year and the next full year...so I decided to go for that!

Thank you everyone for the responses (especially KristinU for your help)! My DH went ahead and got the premium card. A couple of things - I currently have premium card also, and just recently cancelled the non-premium card. Last year I was able to earn the companion pass using the bonuses from both, but mine expires the end of this year. We're planning a May trip so I'm anxious for my DH to get his card and the 50k points so that we can get some/most of our air booked using those points. If it weren't for the May trip, we'd probably wait until 2016 to try for the companion pass, but I think we'd be cutting it close and not sure we'd be able to spend the necessary money in that time period. Thanks again for everyone's help, and the Budget Board in general! It's really helped me be able to travel more with all of the SW tips!
