You mean you receive the companion cert which does not have an expiration date? This is not what usually it is done. All AA certs carry an expiration date AFAIK, and the code of the companion cert would bring up the details, incl the expiration date in AA marketing's system when you call to book.

Oh, yeah, the companion cert can only be booked via phone call, so that means you are out $25 x 2 on the phone booking fee (the Pay and the companion ticket.)
