Might be the case in some parts of the US, but Delta and sometimes Alaska tend to be price competitive with SW, and the flying experience is leagues better (imo). Are the rewards that much better than others?

Best perk on SW is the companion pass. Some well timed credit card sign ups and a few flights and you can have a companion fly free with you for almost 2 years. Especially nice as SW flies to Hawaii.

  Alaska also has a companion pass and also flies to Hawaii

    They also fly to Belize. I used my companion fare for that earlier this year.

  > Best perk on SW is the companion pass I think it’s a CC perk on Delta.

    Nope, on SW you get unlimited companion flights for the term of the pass. Delta is a one use certificate.

        100 one way flights is a round trip a week, but I guess some hit it.

        Credit card sign up and spend count towards earning the pass, one trick make a large tax payment with your cards to boost the points earned. Worth the fees you will pay.
