How To Earn The Promotional Companion Pass
Getting the promotional pass is pretty simple. First, travelers must register for this promotion and provide their Southwest Rapid Rewards® account number. Travelers can register for free at Southwest.com/rapidrewards if they don’t have an account.
Once registered, travelers must book either one round-trip flight or two one-way qualifying flights by 11:59 p.m. CST on March 27, 2024, for travel between March 25, 2024, through May 22, 2024. If travel is completed during that time and the user is registered, they will earn the promotional Companion Pass, which will be valid for use between August 05, 2024, and October 02, 2024.
Note that charter flights, flights booked for reward and group travel, flights used with the Companion Pass, and Southwest Vacations packages do not qualify for this promotion. The designated travel companion can be changed up to three times with the promotional Companion Pass.
What Does The Companion Pass Include?
Earning the Companion Pass lets travelers pick one lucky person to travel with them for nearly free on Southwest Airlines. They only need to pay for their flight ticket’s taxes and fees, which start at $5.60 per one-way flight. So, for less than $12, someone can travel along with the person who earned the Companion Pass.
Usually, the Companion Pass is earned after flying 100 qualifying flights or after earning 135,000 Companion Pass qualifying points. Once it is earned, it is good for the remaining year in which it is earned, plus the following year. For example, if the Companion Pass is earned in May 2024, the Pass will be good for the rest of 2024 and in 2025.
The promotional Companion Pass doesn’t last as long but doesn’t require as much travel.
Summary
Southwest Airlines has a limited-time promotion that allows travelers to earn a promotional Companion Pass that is good for travel between August 05 and October 02, 2024. The pass will enable travelers to bring one companion for nearly free (they only need to pay for the taxes and fees of the flight, which start at $5.60 one-way).
