It's far more likely Southwest will stop converting those Marriott points to the miles needed for the companion pass.

Previously, all points through the Ultimate Rewards Portal could transfer over to Southwest to qualify for the companion pass. No other points transfer now, not that I am aware of. We transfer around 60K per month over to Southwest, each and every month through that portal. Yeah, that many.
Chase Saphine Preferred transfers to Southwest at 1:1 (It also transfers to Marriott at 1:1)

This year we've done Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, Tucson & Phoenix. We are planning Portland and Cancun for the fall. In December we are doing Fort Lauderdale.

I'd love to squeeze in New Orleans & Boston. 2017 goals, I suppose.

So is it possible to transfer to Marriott, then to Southwest for the companion pass miles needed? That would be awesome. A roundabout way, indeed.

We already have the Chase Ink Bold (no longer offered), and the Chase Ink Plus.

Is it possible to do this if I already have a SW premier card? I guess what I'm asking is this - if you've already applied/used the card for the companion pass, can you cancel the card and then do it again next year? I'd love to take advantage of this as I love SW and have been really happy with their card, too. Thanks!
