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

I booked two flights on two different accounts using a $100 LUV on each and got not confirmation. Now I'm worried. Been on hold for an hour and 15 minutes trying to talk to someone before deal is dead in an hour and a half.
After an hour and a half finally talked to someone - said form of payment doesn't matter. Key is to register for promotion before booking.

Anyone know if this promotion works on flights booked with rapid rewards points? Or does it need to be booked with cash to get the companion pass?

I just got mine over the weekend, after completing the round trip on Friday. Not sure if this will be visible anywhere in the online account....

Once you take your qualifying flight you will receive an email saying Congratulations...You can book your next flight starting now, and it must be between Jan 5th and March 3rd, the Companion Pass trip dates.After you get your Congratulations email from your qualifying flight, you can go back in to your already booked flights scheduled between Jan 5th and March 3rd and add your companion to those flights for the cost of taxes per leg for their flights.
