I just completed a trip and used the companion fare for a coach flight. Saved $300 due to the lateness of the booking so that minus the $135 it cost plus the $100 off on the fare to Europe I'm booking next week made it a good deal. Plus both of us got the appropriate miles credited for the flight. I was waiting to see that before I bought the second Prestige pack to use later (of course that was not bought by me but by my SO for use later).
