Miles/Points Churning Thread

Hi. I've seen people ask about travel and others post that they churn. I think a thread where we can pool ideas, offers, etc. could help everyone.
So I'll start with one that would help a lot of people.
1. Chase Southwest Business Premium and Chase Southwest Preferred.
The CSBP offers 60k points for a 3k spend in the first 3 months.
The CSP offers 40k points for a 1k spend in the first 3 months.
That's a minimum of 104k points. Hit 110k and you get a free companion pass for the rest of the current calendar year AND the following calendar year.

Good idea. That SW is one I have eyed, but haven't done yet.
I have done the CSP at 50k UR, Chase United at 50k miles and Chase Hyatt for the 2 free nights.

I got an offer for AMEX Platinum 100K signup which I plan on taking advantage of, but I'd rather wait until the spring to maximize the benefits for our honeymoon and only taking the hit of 1 annual fee. The benefits overlap a lot with my Chase Sapphire Preferred and I'm not sure I would keep the AMEX after taking advantage of the sign-up bonus. Does anyone have experience with how often the 100K comes up?
I did both SW cards and got the Companion Pass which expires this week, it was an amazing benefit, I can't stress enough how much I'd recommend it if you live by a SW airport. I may be mistaken but I don't believe the points you would gain from the Chase card would count towards companion pass, as transferred points do not count towards the pass. But getting both SW cards (occasionally at 60K) is just as easy. It lasts for the calendar year you get the card and the entire next year, so around now would be a good time to apply for those interested in maximizing the benefit, or wait until the next time SW offers >40K which is pretty often.

This thread already exists on the money board.

And it's very long and very informative.
