I knew that the $ should be refundable on the points reservation, but wasn't sure if the companion was technically not a points reservation.

I started the process and now see that "request a refund" is an option.

Thanks both for the replies.

Side note: Southwest is really great. We almost booked our return on an American flight because it was a better schedule and not an expensive flight. But 2 days after we booked this trip, something urgent came up. So glad we booked Southwest, as we'd have had to throw away the American tickets (change fee would exceed the value of the ticket).
