Southwest and Airtran.

GIYF, but in theory you'd need 50K BA for round trip.

To get 100k SW points to get close to getting the companion pass, which 2 should I apply for? Premier Personal Card, Premier Business Card, Plus Personal Card, Plus Business Card?

Are any of the cards still offering a 50K bonus?  2 bonuses of 50K gets you quite close to 110K.  (It's 110 not 100K for the companion pass.)
For a while after the offers officially ended, people were still getting 50K.

the 50k offer is live. If Dan doesn't have a link you can get it from southwest.com (on the main landing page) and from that link you can navigate to the other three options.

I would advise either consumer plus and consumer premier or business plus and business premier so that you only get one credit hit (assuming a 2bm+)

70 points substitutes for $1 of fare.
(Not a flat rate per trip like AA, BA, united..)

Not very accurate answer, this is only the value of points used (not sold) and is for trips booked after 3/31 before then they are worth more. Plus that isn't taking into account the value of companion pass

+100
exactly - the companion pass essentially double the value in most locales..
and - personal location makes a diff too - especially for those in a city with low American/Delta/United/JetBlue service

+1
therefore the points are worth double/triple than in other markets..

Are those NYC flights direct?
