Confused

So you buy a ticket and travel by 11/18/21. Then buy ANOTHER ticket for 1/6-2/28/2022 and on THAT flight your companion flies free?
This is similar to last year deal, but not as good. Last year was book "a" flight by x date (2020) and travel by y date (2020). Have companion pass January to end of Feb 2021.

Basically, book a round trip ticket by 9/9/21 with travel dates before 11/18/2021 .
You will then have a companion pass to used with travel booked between 1/6/22 to 2/28/22

Notes: Price doesn't not matter. I booked a $60 one-way ticket between NYC and DC. Used the companion pass for my trip to Taos, NM in January. DC to ABQ roundtrip was $260, so i essentially saved $200 on airfare.
Doesn't it state it in the terms and conditions?

"..., reservations made using Rapid Rewards points do not qualify for this promotion"

If I book two one way tickets (one for myself and one for a companion), does that qualify me for this offer?
I would also like to know this

This is perfect for businessmen that always take a companion to take dictation during business trips!

I ended up doing it. I booked 2 separate flights instead of 1 flight with 2 passengers.

Pretty sure "purchase" means giving them cash. However, the Champion Fly Free offer may work with points.

Plus they use the term "revenue" to describe tickets.

My brother and I are planning a trip Vegas in January. I couldn't find anything in the fineprint, but would Southwest have an issue if we purchased a cheap RT this Fall and didn't actually use it in order to get the free Companion Pass?

Basically, we'd be getting a discount on the second ticket to Vegas by buying a dummy ticket to (random city) now.

You have to fly for it to go into your account and give you the pass.

Just to confirm: does this companion pass work for just 1 flight, or for unlimited flights throughout from 1/2021 till 2/2022?

Nothing for us. Last year I changed my companion to one kid, and my wife earned this pass to take the second.

The added benefit is you help meet the 25 flight quota for the companion to stay A LIST

Only a month or so? Not much room to use that companion pass.
