.
Actually, you do not have to fly 100 segments. Southwest counts all credits, not just flights, toward the companion pass. So you can put a lot of charges on your Southwest VISA, get lots of hotel and car credits, transfer points from Diners Club, or any other way of getting credits and they all count toward the 100 points for the CP.
