Our Verdict
Pretty good offer, we haven’t seen this kind of coupon code discount offer before as a card signup bonus. Some people might value highly the 30% promo code. I’m not seeing any limit to the 30% discount so it’s just limited by the expense of the flight. This offer is available via referral links as well which gives the referrer 20,000 points bonus.
We previously saw the 75k/$5k-spend offer from last year. This new 30% offer can theoretically be maximized for value in the thousands of dollars for eight passengers, though realistically most people will probably get far lower value from this. Still could be a solid overall offer.
The Companion Pass timing isn’t the best, see this post to learn more. 125,000 points are needed to get the Pass.
