Yes, the non-Gold pax will pay the change fee. I've been bit by this with my spouse as the companion, especially since the 60+ day before flight date change fee waiver is no longer an Alaska Airlines benefit. Sometimes, if the trip isn't going to happen, I just abandon the companion cert and take the My Wallet credit for my ticket. The change fee often winds up being the same as what I paid for using the companion cert. Others, of course, may try to save it (but sometimes I don't have another use for it before it expires).
