Not sure I’ll do it since we have found that while CP is great, we haven’t used it to the full potential because my companion wants to re-qualify for his A List status so he ended up just buying most of his flights on his own.

That seems silly. CP is exponentially more valuable than A-List. Especially since your companion automatically gets checked in with the CP pass holder and a great position. When/if your companion is flying alone, the savings from being CP more be much much more than occasionally splurging for Early Bird Check In.
