I was happy to pay the first year AF for the bonus miles, though.
I am flying to CHS with my SO for a conference in October. My round trip Main Cabin/PE fare (they are the same price for me due to my 75k status) was $468 his was $135.23 which is a difference of $332.77. I consider that a huge savings and am happy to take advantage of it. We are both in PE and are FC wait listed. In addition, I do get miles due to using that card, so it works for us quite well. For my work trips I am required to use the corporate card that provides zero benefits to me, so by using the companion fare provisions I was able to convince our managers to let me use the AS card and get a benefit
