See when you'll hit 135,000 qualifying points — and what the pass is actually worth for your travel. Rules verified July 2026.
Your companion flies for just $5.60 in taxes each way once you have the pass.
⏱️ Timing strategy: the pass is valid for the rest of the calendar year you earn it plus the entire following year. Earn it in January–February (time your card welcome bonus to post early in the year) and you get nearly 24 months of free companion flights. Earn it in November and you get barely 13. Qualifying points reset every January 1.
