By the rules, no. The exception is on award tickets booked with miles from a Gold account. But for revenue tickets, only the Gold gets the free changes within 60 days, even for a companion on the same PNR There have been reports that some have gotten the change fee waived for their non-status companion by phoning in and asking but I wouldn't count on it and I have always been charged for my companion's changes.
