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"

NICE! I have a flight next week Wednesday that I just cancelled and re-bought for roughly $60 more... The companion pass, combine with $30 back with Chase made the extra $30 easily worth it Smilie

Quote from Troublestylist :
1. You can use the credit. It's same as cash.
2. Yes you can. But you'll still pay taxes and fees, which can be over $100. Amazing how much you pay BCE to not do much. Look at your receipt at all the things you pay for.
WHat does BCE mean?

I have a travel credit, if I book a trip with it, would it provide me with a companion ticket?

That's not what it is. You fly 2 flights, then you get unlimited flights for a companion for 2 months. So you could call those 2 for 1, but you have to fly together.
More like buy 2, then you get BOGO for about a month

Quote from Troublestylist :
Correct. Once the flights for January are released, you book the primary ticket. Then you add the companion whenever. Only becomes an issue on a full flight, but you can hold their spot using points and then cancel it if you're worried.
I hope the statement above is correct. However, I read the fine print as follows:

"The Promotion Companion Pass is valid from Jan 6th to Feb 28th and allows you to designate one person to fly with you, free of airline charges, on flights purchased by you from January 6th to Feb 28th,"

I read this as meaning that THE QUALIFIED Member needs to by SW tickets between Jan 6th and Feb 28th. Then, only after purchasing those tickets, then a free companion may be added.

Feedback please? This is an important interpretation.

In the FAQ's

IF I BOOK A RESERVATION PRIOR TO JANUARY 6, 2022 FOR TRAVEL BETWEEN JANUARY 6 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2022, WHEN CAN I BOOK MY COMPANION'S RESERVATION?
Once your Promotional Companion Pass has been awarded to your account (January 6, 2022), you can book your Companion's reservation (subject to flight capacity and availability at the time of booking the Promotional Companion Pass).

Borders and Customs Enforcement. They charge you for agricultural inspection fees, amongst other things.

SW only flies to about 10 destinations non-stop from DTW...they aren't a big airport to get the good discounts.

They aren't that stupid as to let you choose your own months, there is a always a catch, plan accordingly.

People have mentioned that travel credits can be used to purchase the required flights, but does anyone know if the use of travel vouchers would be considered a "revenue flight"? Since SWA gave us the vouchers, it seems unlikely that vouchers would qualify.
