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"

Do you have to fly? Or can I just book a cheap RT and get the companion for future travel?

I beg to differ. Wife has companion pass (the regular yearly one) and I fly as her companion on tickets she's paid with points literally all the time. Internationally, too. We just came back from Mexico that way last month.

yep, best to use points unless you need the qualifying flight for next year. Points save you most taxes on US flights, so short flights get really cheap with points. international still cost a lot of cash.

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?
That's how I read it. How does the companion accompany you on the trip when the dates of travel are different for the primary traveler and the companion?

This ends up being a buy 3 tickets, get the 4th free if a companion truly accompanies you. A 25% discount essentially.

Can I book travel within the next two days, but later change the dates? I would still fly before Nov 18, but not sure?

I read it that the companion pass can be used multiple times in the 2 month period

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

So that's what it's called these days.

I already had flights booked for later this month. If I "change" my flight to the same one and pay $0 for the change fee will that work?

Otherwise, if I cancel and rebook, the new price of the flight is higher than what I originally paid.
