Made it the other day. Flew out to PIT as a 1K, flew home from DTW as GS. I didn't even notice. My wife texted me a picture on my account since she was canceling a flight for me. I don't know if it helped or not but when I've spent at least 2x my spend on companion tickets when people travel with me.
