If you've got a lot of spare time and have an expensive trip planned next year, you could book a very short same-day roundtrip to get companion pass for the more expensive trip. For example, if you lived in Denver, you could fly to Colorado Springs and back for $133 and then use the BOGO next year on a $500 roundtrip. Certainly wouldn't be worthwhile for everyone, but might be worth thinking about for some of you.

I was wondering the same thing, but checking the promotion rules it's clear you have to take the flight.

So frustrating. Think this is the third flight I've booked that fell during the window for a deal like this but because I don't wait to the last minute to make my plans it doesn't qualify.
Just check if you can cancel and rebook, it might not be significantly more expensive.

I'm guessing if I already have a companion pass next year, I can't bring a second companion for this promotion. That's a bummer. I have a Southwest flight planned for September for myself and one in February that I am flying with two other people.

Can you cancel a flight for Sept that was already purchased. Rebook for the same flight with those credits and still be eligible?

So I can book myself DC to somewhere close and random for under $100 and then next year fly with my wife to California and she'll fly for free? This might be worth it…

I don't think so, because Southwest automatically credits your account I think.

Does the companion needs to be one person or can you travel with different people during that period?

Will I still qualify for the promotion if I book now and then change it later provided that I still complete the travel by 9/30?
T&C's says changes after now-8/30 booking period disqualifies from the promotion... Not worth saving a few dollars by changing/rebooking flights and forfeiting a winter companion pass.

Curious as well! I have a few September flights that would be a nominal difference in cost if I rebooked before 8/30

I see a flight to a nearby city that's cheap on Sept 20th. Leave 7:20am, get there at 8:50am and then turn right around and get a return flight home at 10:20am. Total $132 for roundtrip. So this will get me a companion pass to anywhere southwest flies?

Hard no unfortunately. You don't get any flight credit if you skip a flight or a leg of the flight (airline skipping) since they follow your boarding pass scans.

If the fare is close, cancel your current booking and use that credit to rebook.

read the T&C and didn't see anything definitive
will I be able to add a companion for a flight which lands in the right dates next year but I have already booked now?
the flight cost has since gone up so don't want to cancel/rebook
