no.
You can't have both an open jaw and a stopover.
You can do PDX to ANC
or FAI, and then YVR back to PDX. You'll have to buy the segment between ANC and FAI separately.
and for that particular routing, I believe you'll need to call Reservations to book, as its not a legal open jaw... but its an exception we make for cruise passengers.

More flexibility. A Gold is a Gold because they travel a lot. So a Gold is more likely to find a use for that $ much faster than one who isn't. If you know you're going to use it with the companion fare again, then it doesn't matter much. But if the companion isn't someone who travels that often, why tie up $ in their name?
