Reminds me of the long-standing "benefit" from AmEx platinum/black card holders.... "Buy one full-fare (i.e., ridiculously-priced) J ticket, and you can bring along a companion... for FREE!"
woo hoo.

And anyone who has a company that may pay full fare for the original purchaser and then allow for them to use the Amex benefit to get a 2nd person at no additional cost. Not that this has happened to me, just that I can see how in some cases it would work out.
