It’s Jan 6th!

Anyone have any idea when this goes active? Is it at midnight? Or later in the day?

I'm able to add a Companion today. Didn't get any notification at all.

I have just added my companion. Did not get any notification. Went to my account to reprize some tickets, and noticed, that the add companion appeared.

I got ahead of myself. Haha! Thanks for the reminder.

The companion pass showed up on my account, added my person, but won't let me book. My guess it won't until midnight?

Edit
***Never mind, needed the system to warm up I guess, I was able to book the flights about 10 mins after adding my person.

I had the same problem. Error message then, 5 minutes later, I was able to book.

Is there any way to add a companion just to the first leg of a round trip? The person booked the trip as a RT instead of two separate one ways.

If you can't do it online, likely it can be over the phone. Or just add the companion to the entire trip and cancel the return once the first leg flown?

Add the companion to the round trip, then cancel the companion's reservation either by calling Southwest AFTER you have flown the first leg. Or cancel the companion's reservation at the gate when you arrive for your return flight. Also, don't check in the companion for the return flight.
Finally, always book Southwest reservations as one-way trips. There is no price advantage to booking a round trip and one-way trips give you maximum flexibility, especially if the fare goes down and you rebook to save money.

I received my Congratulatory greeting yesterday (1/6/22) and finally confirmed my eligibility. As I didn't get the congratulatory greeting immediately after completing my qualifying flight, I've already booked away from Southwest thinking I somehow didn't qualify.

I completed qualifying flights but have never received anything. However I reached 100 flight credits in December, so no harm done.
