But the hack is to use the gift card to buy any non-BE dummy ticket in the name of the primary passenger. Wait 2-3 days do the 24-hour risk free guarantee expires. Then cancel for an ecredit. This can be used for primary passenger’s payment.
So you are saying book a Main cabin flight, wait three days so we don’t get a refund and then get an eCredit? Then we book the flight using the eCredit and the card and get the Companion ticket and free luggage, correct?
