We LOVE these cards - both my husband and I have one and we each use a companion pass for our two kids - we have likely saved over $10,000 since we got the cards when they first came out!!
We were issued a voucher in November 2016. I booked our flight for April 2018 in July 2017. I got another voucher Nov 2017. So to sum up, it just has to be used to book the flight within the 365 days it was issued; it doesn't matter when the flight is.My husband and I both applied online today and we’re approved, so looking forward to receiving those soon to start racking up points. We’ve got a family of 6, so 2 cards and 2 companion fares will come in handy. Does the flight for the companion rate have to be used within the year, or just booked by then? We’re going to DL sometime January 2019 but can’t book the vacation yet so arent 100% sure of the date and if it’ll fall after the application date and be with our 2nd set of buddy passes or our 1st set. Also, any tips for using your card to maximize points earned?
This is true. The companion voucher is valid to be booked for a year, but the actual flight can be later than that.We were issued a voucher in November 2016.
