No Southwest will not merge two reservations that you made separately and which have two different confirmation codes.

Given his publicity he would probably get the pass. But lowly us would have violated a 4 hour rule and be counted as a layover and not separate flights. ThatsThats what I'm concerned with.

I want to make sure my effort isn't wasted by trying to save a few hours at the airport. Seems like that blogger did it. But he hasn't confirmed whether he got his companion pass approved or not yet.

If you build a connection using "add another flight" for the same day, it will merge and may or may not price differently.

Companion Pass available next day after completing promo!
So I completed my 5th round trip yesterday (8/24) - this month I shifted some work related SFO-Socal flights from United to SWA just for this promotion.
Logged into my profile this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a spot for entering my companion info already. Nice one Southwest! ^

First time poster here, been following this thread since I found out I was a part of the Promo, albeit, a bit later than initially released due to my SPAM filters. Anywho, I'm booked on the remaining 8 OW of my venture, is a 30min layover in Oakland feasible? 30 in LGB is no problem, but just curious about OAK.

With no delays, 30 minutes is fine. You might end up in a middle seat, but who cares for a short flight.

Thank you! That's what I figured, 2 of my OAK flights have a 30 min layover, both before 12:30.
