i am just not seeing any (hidden) benefit where [full price tix + $99] is paid but only one person, presumably, the primary, fly. i doubt the companion can earn miles by being absent from the flight. perhaps i am not seeing something here yet.
There's no benefit to use it without one of the people flying. You can't use it to fly two people from different locations, or in different classes of service. The issues come up when one of the two wants to change plans, or not take the trip.
