Earning a Companion Pass

Do hotels booked on Southwest.com count towards earning companion pass points? I see some hotels noted with Earn 1,000 miles on the site. Will all 1,000 count towards earning the CP? I'm the closest I've ever been to earning one this year so I'm going for it! I just need to understand what counts and what doesn't.

No.

 

"Companion Pass qualifying points are earned from revenue flights booked through Southwest Airlines, points earned on Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Cards, and base points earned from Rapid Rewards Partners. Purchased points, transferred points transferred between members, points converted from hotel and car loyalty programs, and e-Rewards, e-Miles, Valued Opinions and Diners Club, points earned from program enrollment, tier bonus points, flight bonus points, and partner bonus points (with the exception of the Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase) do not qualify as Companion Pass qualifying points. Points earned during a billing cycle on a Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase are not available for redemption or qualification for Companion Pass status until they are posted on your billing statement and posted to your Rapid Rewards Account. Only points posted on your billing statements and posted to your Rapid Rewards Account during the same calendar year are available for qualification for Companion Pass status."

Back in February several folks confirmed the points earned from hotel bookings on southwest.com do count towards Companion Pass, even the ones with the larger bonuses. I don't have any personal experiences yet.

Remember hotels booked on southwest.com are actually booked through bookings.com and if you have an issue or a problem, Southwest will not help you ! they pass it off to another middle man
