Surprisingly no price hike in the routes in the routes I already booked. So I canceled and rebooked again.

Love my companion pass. I'd also recommend looking into how to get it for two years by opening two credit cards. My wife and I both have it, and for 2 years (January of '25) we can fly anyone for free with us, every flight. We've taken kids to Chicago, Colorado twice, Philadelphia, Seattle and some others all for taxes only. Plus you get the ~150k miles to use on flights to pay for the initial fare, so those were all basically free... 10/10.

Complete bummer that there are no Southwest flights from Newark Airport. United dominates the majority of the gates.

I couldn't find promotion on Southwest's main page, but I finally found it offered at https://www.southwest.com/loyalty...promotions

Our dns blocks (at least) one of the redirects that Slickdeals uses, so I don't know if this is the link that's in the details or not.

If I book 2 flight using Rapid Rewards points, do I still get companion pass? Or it is only if you buy using credit card?

From the Promotion Terms: "Redemption reservations and Cash + Points bookings qualify for this promotional offer" , so assume yes.

Southwest have jacked up the prices to cover this promotion in my opinion.
The cheapest ticket, nearly $100 one way to fly PHX/LAX is ludicrous.

It was a $20 difference for me. Still a great deal.
