Many. Southwest Gift card sales at Costco and Sam's always make front page.
That agent was indeed misinformed. The terms specifically say "Not valid on flights purchased with Rapid Rewards points." I would trust the terms over random agent.
Cancelled current Apr flight and rebooked. Paid $165 extra for 2 months of companion. Lets see how much I can use it.

Is this only for the qualifying flights to meet the criteria? Or does this also apply to the companion bookings between August and October?
Points should be fine for the later bookings. Just can't use them to qualify for the promo in the first place

anyone else notice many prices are jacked up for popular routes?probably because of this promo? and then after 2 days prices will drop back to normal?
Doesn't really matter. Just book the flight, then when the price drop get flight credit for the difference.

Because it says "Companion Pass is valid on flights between August 5, 2024, and October 2, 2024.". Notice the SSSSSSS on flightSSSSS​
Definitely don't want that SSSS on your boarding pass...

If I already had flights booked for mid April travel and register, does that qualify? Or I need to cancel and rebook?
Wanna bring a friend for free* every time you fly?

Here is how to receive your Promotional Companion Pass®:

1. Register now, then purchase one round trip or two one-way flights by 3/27/24.

2. Travel by 5/22/24.

3. Companion flies free with you 8/5-10/2/2024

I get that you have to pay for the initial flight taken by 5/22 and can't use points on that to qualify, but for the flights between August and October can those be bought via points and still use the earned companion pass?

Yes, this goes for everyone else asking the question in the thread (too lazy to quote em all).

You can book now (or later) and add your Companion once you have the Companion Pass added to your account.

When Companion Pass is added, you must first name your Companion, then you can add them to each of your flight reservations. You can change the name of the companion up to three times per year. Taxes/fees start at $5.60, but may be more if international or long connection. Be aware you will receive your companion pass probably on the start date of August 5, 2024 (may be late to add it, I think they were a day or two late last time) so if you are adding right on this date or nearby, be cautious, since you can only add companion if the seat is available.

Took advantage of the same deal last year for a free Hawaiian roundtrip! Definitely worth going for, if you need to travel around next month anyways.
Would a short trip (like from LA to Vegas) be qualified for a Hawaiian companion trip?

Do we need to actually take the flight for this to work? I wouldn't mind booking the cheapest possible option to get the CP.
Yes you do

Would it work if I cancelled a fight and booked it back with the credit?
I saw the only stipulation was booking with points.
Yes that will work. I called them and asked.

Can I purchase the flight with a gift card? (I see that it cannot be booked with points but wasn't sure if GCs are okay)
