It looks like I could cancel my ticket and then transfer my companion's ticket to my name and then cancel it. Even if I had to pay more for the ticket at transfer wouldn't I get it all back into my wallet with no change fees? I don't mind tying up the money in my wallet because I know I will use it on a future trip but it would be great to have that flexibility when traveling with someone else.

Is the above scenario correct?
This almost sounds to good to be true. Hopefully somebody can confirm. ^
