Am I reading this correctly and you cannot purchase your travel (to use in conjunction with the companion pass) in advance?

The Promotional Companion Pass is valid from January 4 to March 4, 2023 and allows you to designate one person to fly with you, free of airline charges (does not include taxes and fees from $5.60 one-way) on flights purchased by you, from January 4 to March 4, 2023, booked through Southwest, and completed between January 4 and March 4, 2023.
No you're reading it incorrectly. It's been stated multiple times to buy the airfare when it's cheap and not wait. You can add the companion to any ticket in those months with open seats on the plane

Can the companion be a different person each flight?
You can set it once and change it twice. So you can have 3 different companions

Weird, the price for my flight to San Francisco actually went down from when I bought it last week.

Found an inter-island flight in Hawaii, RT for $75. Undecided if I want to do it, but would this deal even work if I don't actually use the ticket? They won't care as long as I bought it right?

Travel would have to be completed within the dates given. If you just book a flight and not fly it, and don't cancel it, not only are you forfeiting your funds but you won't get credit for the promotion.

Can I cancel my October RT flight and rebook to get this ?
Yes. You can. Make sure you're registered first before you cancel and rebook. Also keep in mind the fares may have gone up since you originally booked your flight.

Appreciate this, grammar lessons past midnight are not my forte. I'm reading it now as you get to designate the companion from Jan 4 to Mar 4 (on flights purchased by you) not flights purchased by you from Jan 4 to Mar 4.

Saw that many had said to buy early and not wait, just wanted to make sure we weren't all missing this detail (turns out that I was). Thanks!

southwest hasn't been cheap in the last 12-18 months
thats not true, my in laws are currently here visiting and their flights was 75$ each way. thats pretty cheap to me consider the cheapest ive flown sw years back was 59$. talk about inflation and gas price at this time in age, 75$ is a steal. this is from portland to socal.

I fly 3 times in the next month. Lets see if 2022 can hold it together.
İt's funny, the easiest flight I've ever had was in 2021. EVERYONE had pre check, everyone knew exactly what to do and was totally relaxed.
I'm flying to the other side of the world next week, they've already changed the flights 3x and the airlines/travel agency have massively failed to communicate. We'll see how it goes...

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??

If I book an eligible flight, and the price goes down and change it later to get credit back, does it still count toward the companion pass?

This line suggests it might not qualify if you make any changes: purchase may eliminate qualification for promotion.
