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.

So I saw that the companion pass won't load in the account until the promotional period for the companion pass starts. Basically August. Is there anyway to book a flight now during the promo period and add a companion ticket at a later date once the companion pass loads?

I'm trying to avoid what I think southwest wants which is last minute travel with higher priced ticketsā€¦

I am also having the same question. Can someone please confirm?

I'm sure you'll get the CP as soon as 2 ows or 1rt travel completed on 5/22. Then, you can book trips & use CP on the promo periods.

Quote from whynormal :
I expect you will both qualify, certain of it if you book separately. My wife and I both have CP and use it to bring our kids for free. You can also change it 3x per year so sometimes we change it to point at each other. Not sure if the change rule applies to this short term deal, seems like it shouldn't. Anyway if you don't have kids you could use it to bring another couple with you.

If they booked separately they'd both qualify. Unfortunately, only the person booking the flight qualifies

You can book now and add your companion later on when available.

Curious about this as well. If I rebook the flight for a lower price and take the credit, will it invalidate the future pass?

I am sure hoping so. I just updated my flight today and saved $65 on each ticket. Since the confirmation number stays the same I'm hoping I still get the deal.

Wife completed her travel on Friday (4/5), got the email confirming she earned the pass today (4/8).

We got a pass previously that was good in January of 2023.. used it for a couple of trips.

Time to start booking our trips for this one.

Just finished the flight and received CP in few hours!!

Congratulations on earning Promotional Companion Pass. Get ready to get away and bring your favorite plus-one along for free.** So, where to for the two of you?

You can book travel now, and starting August 5, 2024, you can add your Companion to your existing reservations. You'll have until October 2, 2024 to enjoy the benefits of this offer. We can't wait to see you and your Companion onboard soon!

Also wondering the same since I can save $70 on one of the flights if I rebook.

So it's save $70 or get companion pass

I rebooked a trip that I just completed - confirmation number stayed the same and companion pass added to my account as soon as trip was completed last week.
So it appears that as long as the original confirmation number is unchanged then you should still qualify for the companion pass.

I made a rt run from DAL to HOU to DAL this Sat for $100 RT. Received my CP notification just now. I booked a couple of trips with points too for August & September when SWA had the 25% off points sale. Now, I just add my CP on those trips. Saving ~ $800 for the 2 CP flights. Not bad paying OOP $100.
