I JUST saw that they published when their next round of flights would be released - a little too early for my next trip as we're looking to go back to Disney mid-October!
How long does it take for you initial rewards to show? I opened the card in July 2021 and spent my $2000 to earn 65000 points. I did all my spending within 2 weeks so it did not make it right before cycle. My cycle was Aug 19. I called and I saw my pts from purchases but not the bonus points. They transferred me to Chase and they said it would take 2 months. That would bring me to Sept 19. Today- still nothing. Can someone tell me how long it took there points to show?
i got a new card last Feb., spent $3000 and received the bonus in March. Then I spent another $7000 and got the extra bonus around June. Then spent enough to get the companion pass in August.How long does it take for you initial rewards to show? I opened the card in July 2021 and spent my $2000 to earn 65000 points.

I usually pay for mine and theirs at the same time so it's all under one reservation. You'll probably have to call or chat with them to get the reservations linked.Can anyone tell me how to associate my kids' reservations with mine? Do I need to call? I would love it if I could accomplish this online. My DH is my companion so he will be automatically associated. Thanks for your help!
No you could still board together without EBCI, you would just board at the latest position you get out of the three confirmation numbers. What I would do is have three devices set up to check in at T-24, then check them all in at the same time.Booked flights for me, dh and 2 kids. Dh used travel funds so his had to be separate. I’m a companion pass, then kids so we have 3 confirmation numbers to check in. Is spending 120 more to get ebc really my only option for us to be able to board together? They are 7&10. Too old for family boarding but too young to sit alone.
ETA funds for his, points for the kids
As mentioned by @EACarlson, when this happened to us we used the higher Boarding Group number to board.Booked flights for me, dh and 2 kids. Dh used travel funds so his had to be separate.

ugh. So when we end up with a C boarding pass as the last # and there aren't seats together we get to be the jerks asking people to move. I am ridiculously irritated about this lol. The fact that their system forces you to book those things separately, so you have to check in separately.

E.g. If my DD was B14 and I was B32, we both lined up at B32 and boarded then.
SW does offer family boarding after A group but before B group. Sometimes they say it’s for families with children 6 and under but no one checks their ages. I’m sure you can board then with your kids.ugh. So when we end up with a C boarding pass as the last # and there aren't seats together we get to be the jerks asking people to move.

I agree with @MarBee - just do family boarding. Nobody will police it... and it'll save you some stress. Once your kids look a little older, and it's clear you aren't eligible, then you might need to consider purchasing EBCI.ugh.

Or you can buy EBCI, or buy the upgraded boarding at the gate. Something I missed in your original post, if you are the companion to your husband, the system should automatically assign you a boarding place with him. Then you only have two to check in. Another option would be to check the kids in first, have them go and get a window and aisle, odds are very good that no single is going to want to sit between two kids.ugh.

I know it's stressful thinking of SW boarding with kids. Just wanted to ease some stress to say I've gotten C boarding group and still was able to sit with my kids- there were about 6 rows at the back of the plane still empty by the time we boarded.ugh.
