I am gonna be pissed if you can only use them on higher pirced fare classes.

My whole purpose of getting that vooucher was to use it on my trip to Eugene which in coach prices out at 493 in S. I will be very dissapointed if I can't use this voucher on this trip.

PS....

I don't remember if they had all the fine print regarding these vouchers in the letter they sent with my statement.

I can't find my letter from CO here at the house, but online it says nothing about being limited to certain fare classes.

Maybe I'm wrong but that seems like flase advertising even if only slightly misleading. Either way I am interested to see if they let me use this voucher when I go and book my all S fare trip to EUG here in a month or so.

Has anyone used the coupons in conjunction with a 100% EQM CO.com purchase?

I used the $100 discount voucher, originally on a B fare that I reserved on Co.com. However, when my reservation was actually ticketed, the base price dropped by $100, and the return was listed as a W fare! No, I did not get the 100% EQM for the return. However, I didn't think it was worthwhile calling about this. Some segments of the reservation were also listed as "Y" (an obvious CO.com mistake) and upon ticketing, it was still Y (or actually, "AU") so I figured it all evened out in the end.

You might be able to get 100% EQM by calling the tech support line to ticket. It is a little tricky because you need to send in the voucher, so I don't know if this would work.

You cannot do ticket only online but have to either mail in the coupon (if more than 7 days) or go to a CO office / airport to ticket so factor in the hassle factor.

In the small print is says you can transfer the companion ticket to someone with the same name or same maiden name, the same address, etc. but you may have to go to the airport or CO office with them.

It is tempting but i am a bit of a skeptic as to whether i'll really get my money's worth.

Sincerely amazed at how much info is shared at flyer talk.

Thanks

If you are as zealous about travel as some of us here are, it is easy to justify the PPs... If you use the companion ticket, discount cets PC Passes, and consider the miles you get... It's very much worth it...
