Should booking a companion fare on a qualifying ticket for this promo have no impact? I have the pass expiring EOY '22 and a few travel plans booked with points in the coming months. I'd need to rebook as revenue and would add my companion for each flight.

Quote from anakin316 :
On the one-way flights, it mentions intermediate stops/connections are fine, but on the round trip tickets, should it only be non-stop flights?
Man people are overcomplicating this. Cool

A RT ticket is just 2 one-way tickets if you want to look at it that way (which also qualify). The number of stops in between don't matter as long as you start and end where your ticket says you should.

I.e. ATL --> LAX with 2 stops in PHX and LAS is the same as ATL --> JAX nonstop as a "one-way ticket". RT would be ATL --> LAX --> ATL or ATL --> JAX --> ATL.

but I will tell you, if you had an ATL --> LAX one way with 2 stops and you decide not to continue to LAX (aka you get off at PHX or LAS and don't complete the final leg) they may not count that. It has a term, can't recall what it is, but it's "illegal".

But you could book a one way ticket like ATL --> PHX and then book a separate ticket PHX --> LAX and that would be two one-way tickets.

Quote from anakin316 :
<p>Does the price of the ticket you purchase to travel with companion using the pass matter? Meaning if you book now a cheap roundtrip flight but in January fly with companion on an expensive route like hawaii, will that still qualify?</p>
Don't forget to qualify, you need to book and FLY, so you can't just book a cheap round trip and not fly to get the companion pass. But if you fly the cheap round trip, then yes.

I assume this works if you re-book a previous ticket?

Stupid question of the day

If we have 2 children, 7 and 3, is it best for both of us parents to register for this promotion, and then get our kids registered as companions?

The other way I thought I could fly and make my spouse my companion, but then we'd be paying for 2 more tickets when we fly. Didn't make sense to me. Am I missing anything?

Thank you.

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 book with RR points, you get those points back when you cancel (not travel funds)

Also, nothing is broken for me. The website works, and I was able to register me and spouse quickly.

If you're getting errors, it's probably you.
