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?
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.

This ends up being a buy 3 tickets, get the 4th free if a companion truly accompanies you. A 25% discount essentially.
Yes, if you only fly once with the companion, on the same cost flight.
Or fly on many much more expensive flights....
Travel funds yes, points no.
Register, check cost on your existing flight to confirm it hasn't charged, then cancel and rebook with travel funds.
Yes, you earn RR points on any paid trips.
Otherwise, if I cancel and rebook, the new price of the flight is higher than what I originally paid.
No, you have to actually book the flight. So changing existing flights won't count. You have to generate a new record locator.

Likewise, if you book now but change the flight, you should be fine. The minor change within the acceptable window of time won't affect your eligibility. Your record locator shows time of original booking.
I was just about to by my tickets to LA this Friday. I just purchased it today and got a free companion pass I can use next year.
Great deal!
You can get a full refund within 24 hours of booking on any airline. If it's pass 24 hours I think southwest refunds you full "store credit" to re-use within a year.

Yup, thats what i understood per their terms. You fly now and then free ticket applies next time when you travel in Jan/Feb 2022...so basically they are making you buy ticket twice...its revenue generating scheme, not really what it sounds...not good for someone taking vacation but good for seasonal travelers.
