Initial flight to earn the companion pass has to be booked between 9/3-9/5 and that flight flown before 11/20. Once that is done, the companion pass is added to your account and you can designate someone to be your companion on future trips.
Then, if you decide to book a flight between the dates of 1/6 and 3/6 of 2025, your companion flies free* with you.
"We love offering this Companion Pass promotion because it allows our Members to experience one of the many benefits of our award-winning Rapid Rewards program," said Jennifer Bridie, Vice President of Marketing at Southwest Airlines. "Earlier this year, we launched Cash + Points, giving our Customers extra flexibility to make their points go further. And now, for the first time, Members can use their Rapid Rewards points, a combination of cash and points, or other eligible forms of payment to book qualifying flights that count toward this Companion Pass promotion."

I was able to activate the promotion by logging into my SW account, click on "Rapid Rewards" near the top (next to Trip, Payment, Profile), and the offer should be on the right side titled "Wanna bring a friend for free every time you fly? Learn how to register"
Q: What changes to a reservation would disqualify a flight from qualifying for promotional Companion Pass through this offer?
A: Any change to a reservation that falls outside of the promotional requirements (enrollment date, booking date, travel date, etc.) will disqualify the flight from this promotion. In other words, flights must be purchased, and/or changed during the promotional period and the new flight(s) must be flown between September 3-November 20, 2024 to meet the terms and conditions of this promotion
Does anyone know how to tell if it went through?

Buy one round trip flight now (or 2 one-ways)
Get a companion pass for 3 months - which can be BOGO on all your flights during that time.
But you can only book that free companion flight starting in Jan when SW system updates for your companion status. The way around that is to book those flights now and pay for the companion's ticket (do not book wanna get away fares for your companion, those are non-refundable). You can book wanna get away, and your companion as any time fare. Then when January rolls around, you call up SW and tell them to add your companion for free, or do this in the app and then cancel your original companion flight.
