You're supposed to have to buy the ticket at least four days in advance to qualify for the companion/15% from Spirit Incentives, so it couldn't have been that last minute.
Have you checked transcon fares latterly?
It has been consistent ly over $500, making redeeming 25k miles even reasonable value. But of course, no award seats are readily available.
