Any 2 people can use it but you must use an Amex card to pay for the flights.
Thanks for the response.
So just to confirm, you have used the certificate to make a booking AFTER you cancelled/downgraded your card, and there were no issues?
And my dad can use his AMEX card to book a flight for him and someone else with the companion ticket?
