Saw this in my Southwest app this morning and registered for various family members. The deal is... book one round trip (or two one-way flights) right now (now through 9/8) and get a companion pass for one trip (or two one-way flights) later - basically January/February next year.

I've got a flight to book anyway, which will get one.

Now I'm trying to figure out if it's worthy flying the kids out for lunch at another airport one day this fall in order to save more on a vacation in the spring.

I already have flights booked from the previous promotion. I wonder if "changing" them but picking the same $0 flight and not actually changing my flights will trigger it since rebooking would cost more. I'm assuming it won't work but might as well try.

Companion flies free* with you 1/4/2023 – 3/4/2023.

Does it mean, the member must fly with companion? Or the companion by himself/herself can fly with a free ticket?

One of the Terms & Conditions states: A qualifying one-way flight for this promotion is a one-way revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city, including any intermediate stops and/or connections on Southwest Airlines. A qualifying round trip flight for this promotion is a round trip revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city and back to the originating airport or carrier-recognized co-terminal. Valid on new reservations booked within the Promotion Period only. Travel booked or flown prior to registration for this promotion is not eligible for this Promotional Companion Pass offer. Companion Pass, charter flights, reward and group travel, and Southwest Vacations® packages do not qualify as one-way or round trip revenue flights for this promotion. Changes made to any itinerary after purchase of a one-way or round trip revenue flight may eliminate qualification for this promotion.

What does "Revenue" flight mean? Can I book the initial qualifying flight using points? or does it have to be money paid?

Was wondering the same thing, but then saw this in the original post:

"and with no portion of the purchase price paid for with Rapid Rewards points."

I don't think the companion pass is for 1 trip

Gotcha..thank you. The OP's post states...
Qualifying flights include flights paid entirely with dollars, LUV Vouchers, gift cards or travel funds, and with no portion of the purchase price paid for with Rapid Rewards points.

Can we book a travel with the RR points, then cancel the reservation and get the refund int he form of a travel funds towards a future travel. Then use the travel funds + some cash to make a new reservation? I know it's an extra step but do we qualify??

No. When you cancel a flight with points, it goes back to points.
