class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Atmos Global Companion Award is one of the more unusual airline credit card benefits because it is not limited to a simple domestic companion ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the 25K certificate can reduce the cost of a second award traveler by as much as 25,000 Atmos Rewards points. Alaska says it can be used across its broader network, including Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, oneworld airlines, and other eligible global partners. It can even be applied to premium cabin awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The catch is that 25,000 points does not automatically mean the companion flies free. How useful the benefit becomes depends on the award you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-atmos-global-companion-award\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is the Atmos Global Companion Award?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Atmos Global Companion Award is available to Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite cardholders. The card provides a 25,000-point Global Companion Award after qualifying activity on a new account and again at each card anniversary. Cardholders who spend $60,000 or more during a card anniversary year can separately earn a 100,000-point version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article focuses on the 25K certificate. Its basic purpose is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Book award travel for two people, then use the certificate to reduce the companion&#8217;s ticket by up to 25,000 Atmos Rewards points.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is different from getting 25,000 points deposited into your Atmos account. The certificate is tied to the companion award and must be used as part of an eligible booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bank of America currently describes the anniversary benefit as a 25,000-point Global Companion Award for a travel companion booked on the same itinerary using Atmos Rewards points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n<meta

certificate removes 25,000 points from the companion&#8217;s price. If the award costs only 20,000 points per person, the companion could require zero points. However, the remaining 5,000 points of certificate value would not carry forward to another reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the award costs 60,000 points each, you would pay 60,000 for the first traveler and 35,000 for the companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current redemption guidance confirms that you can add points when the companion award costs more than the certificate&#8217;s value, while unused value is forfeited when the award costs less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"where-can-you-use-the-atmos-global-companion-award\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Can You Use the Atmos Global Companion Award?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the benefit becomes more interesting than many traditional airline companion fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alaska says Global Companion Awards can be used throughout its network, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alaska Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hawaiian Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>oneworld airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other eligible Atmos Rewards global partners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificate is also not limited to Economy. Alaska specifically says the benefit can be used in any class of service, including Business Class and First Class. That means you do not necessarily need to save the certificate for a simple Alaska Airlines domestic flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could potentially use it toward an eligible partner award on airlines such as Japan Airlines, American Airlines, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, or another Atmos Rewards redemption partner, provided the award is bookable through the applicable Atmos Rewards channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before choosing an airline, read the Flightpoints guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/alaska-airlines-sweet-spots-award-flights-2026\/\">Alaska Airlines sweet spots in 2026<\/a>. It covers several routes where Atmos points can already offer good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- FlightPoints Instant Alert Banner -->\n\n<div style=\"\nmax-width:760px;\nmargin:24px auto;\npadding:26px 22px;\nbackground:#E2ECFF;\nborder:2px solid #C8DAFF;\nborder-radius:20px;\ntext-align:center;\nfont-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\nbox-shadow:0 10px 28px rgba(37,99,235,.08);\n\">\n\n    <!-- Bell Icon -->\n    <div style=\"\n    position:relative;\n    width:76px;\n    height:76px;\n    margin:0 auto 12px;\n    \">\n\n        <div style=\"\n        position:absolute;\n        inset:0;\n        border:2px solid #BFD4FF;\n        border-radius:50%;\n        \"><\/div>\n\n        <div style=\"\n        position:absolute;\n        inset:7px;\n        border:2px solid #D7E5FF;\n        border-radius:50%;\n        \"><\/div>\n\n        <div style=\"\n        position:absolute;\n        left:50%;\n        top:50%;\n        transform:translate(-50%,-50%);\n        width:40px;\n        height:40px;\n        border-radius:50%;\n        background:#F8FBFF;\n        display:flex;\n        align-items:center;\n        justify-content:center;\n        font-size:22px;\n        \">\n            \ud83d\udd14\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Heading -->\n    <div style=\"\n    font-size:24px;\n    font-weight:700;\n    color:#1E2A47;\n    line-height:1.3;\n    max-width:580px;\n    margin:0 auto 12px;\n    \">\n        Be First to Know When Award Seats Open\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Description -->\n    <div style=\"\n    font-size:15px;\n    color:#5F6F89;\n    line-height:1.7;\n    max-width:560px;\n    margin:0 auto 22px;\n    \">\n        Create an Instant Alert and receive a notification the moment your preferred award flight becomes available.\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- CTA -->\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/alerts\/create?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=internal&#038;utm_campaign=create_alert\"\n       style=\"\n       display:inline-block;\n       background:#2563EB;\n       color:#FFFFFF;\n       text-decoration:none;\n       padding:11px 22px;\n       border-radius:8px;\n       font-size:14px;\n       font-weight:600;\n       box-shadow:0 4px 10px rgba(37,99,235,.20);\n       \">\n        Create Alert\n    <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n\n\/* Responsive *\/\n\n@media (max-width:768px){\n\ndiv[style*=\"max-width:760px\"]{\n    padding:22px 18px !important;\n}\n\ndiv[style*=\"font-size:24px\"]{\n    font-size:20px !important;\n    line-height:1.3 !important;\n}\n\ndiv[style*=\"font-size:15px\"]{\n    font-size:14px !important;\n}\n\na[href*=\"flightpoints.com\/alerts\/create\"]{\n    padding:10px 18px !important;\n    font-size:13px !important;\n}\n\n}\n\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"do-you-need-two-award-seats\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do You Need Two Award Seats?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, and this is one of the most important parts of using the benefit. The Atmos Global Companion Award does not create a second award seat. If you find one Business Class partner award, you cannot use the certificate to force the airline to open another seat for your companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search for two passengers from the beginning. This matters especially with partner Business and First Class awards, where an airline might release only one seat on a particular flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flightpoints&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/atmos-rewards-award-search-partner-flights\/\">Atmos Rewards Award Search guide<\/a> explains why partner award space shown through Atmos Rewards can differ from what the operating airline offers to its own members. A cash seat being available does not prove that two partner award seats are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-use-the-atmos-global-companion-award\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Use the Atmos Global Companion Award<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The booking process is fairly straightforward once you have found two award seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-find-the-award-in-your-atmos-rewards-account\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:27px\"><strong>1. Find the Award in Your Atmos Rewards Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sign in to your Atmos Rewards account and look for your available discount or companion benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alaska&#8217;s current discount-code guidance says eligible companion codes can be stored inside your account wallet. You can select Use to book beside an available code or enter the code manually during the booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-search-for-two-travelers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:27px\"><strong>2. Search for Two Travelers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter the route and dates you want and search using Atmos Rewards points. Make sure you select two passengers. This is important. Searching for one passenger first may show premium availability that disappears when you change the search to two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-check-the-award-price\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:27px\"><strong>3. Check the Award Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirm the points required for both travelers. The certificate should reduce the companion&#8217;s award by up to 25,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Award price: 27,500 points per person<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traveler 1: 27,500 points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Companion: 2,500 points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total: 30,000 points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent real-world redemption followed this exact pricing pattern, with the 25K certificate being deducted directly from the second passenger rather than rebated later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-check-every-flight-segment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:27px\"><strong>4. Check Every Flight Segment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partner awards can contain more than one cabin. A result marked Business Class could include a short Business segment and a much longer Economy segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operating airline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cabin on every segment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connection time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total Atmos points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surcharges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of available seats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flightpoints can help with this. Start at <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/\">Flightpoints and compare the award options<\/a> available for your route before using the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-pay-the-taxes-and-fees-with-the-summit-card\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:27px\"><strong>5. Pay the Taxes and Fees With the Summit Card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the companion certificate does not remove the cash portion of the award. Both passengers remain responsible for applicable taxes, fees, and carrier-imposed charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alaska specifically states that applicable taxes and fees for Global Companion Award bookings must be paid using the Atmos Rewards Summit card. The Summit card also waives partner award booking fees as a separate card benefit, although government taxes and partner-imposed surcharges can still remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n\n<style>\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');\n\n*{\n    margin:0;\n    padding:0;\n    box-sizing:border-box;\n}\n\n.fp-routes-banner{\n    width:100%;\n    max-width:700px;\n    margin:24px auto;\n    padding:22px 24px;\n    display:flex;\n    align-items:center;\n    justify-content:space-between;\n    gap:22px;\n\n    background:linear-gradient(135deg,#7C4FE0 0%,#4E63F5 50%,#0A5AFE 100%);\n    border-radius:16px;\n    box-shadow:0 10px 28px rgba(10,90,254,.18);\n\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;\n}\n\n.fp-content{\n    flex:1;\n    min-width:0;\n}\n\n\/* Force heading to remain white *\/\n.fp-routes-banner .fp-title,\n.fp-routes-banner h2,\n.fp-routes-banner h2.fp-title{\n    color:#FFFFFF !important;\n    font-size:22px !important;\n    font-weight:700 !important;\n    line-height:1.3;\n    margin:0 0 8px;\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif !important;\n}\n\n\/* Force paragraph to remain white *\/\n.fp-routes-banner .fp-text,\n.fp-routes-banner p{\n    color:rgba(255,255,255,.88) !important;\n    font-size:14px;\n    line-height:1.6;\n    margin:0;\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;\n}\n\n.fp-btn{\n    display:inline-flex;\n    align-items:center;\n    justify-content:center;\n    padding:12px 20px;\n    background:#FFFFFF;\n    color:#0A5AFE !important;\n    text-decoration:none !important;\n    font-size:14px;\n    font-weight:700;\n    border-radius:10px;\n    white-space:nowrap;\n    flex-shrink:0;\n    transition:.25s ease;\n}\n\n.fp-btn:hover{\n    background:#F5F8FF;\n    color:#0A5AFE !important;\n    transform:translateY(-2px);\n}\n\n@media (max-width:768px){\n\n    .fp-routes-banner{\n        padding:20px;\n        gap:18px;\n    }\n\n    .fp-routes-banner .fp-title{\n        font-size:20px !important;\n    }\n\n}\n\n@media (max-width:600px){\n\n    .fp-routes-banner{\n        flex-direction:column;\n        text-align:center;\n        padding:20px 18px;\n        gap:18px;\n    }\n\n    .fp-content{\n        width:100%;\n    }\n\n    .fp-routes-banner .fp-title{\n        font-size:19px !important;\n    }\n\n    .fp-btn{\n        width:100%;\n        max-width:250px;\n        margin:auto;\n    }\n\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/head>\n\n<body>\n\n<div class=\"fp-routes-banner\">\n\n    <div class=\"fp-content\">\n        <h2 class=\"fp-title\">\n            Transfer Bonus Tracker\n        <\/h2>\n\n        <p class=\"fp-text\">\n            Compare airline and hotel transfer partners, ratios, transfer times, and live bonus status.\n        <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/tools\/transfer-bonus-tracker?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=internal&#038;utm_campaign=transfer_bonus_tracker\"\n       class=\"fp-btn\"\n       target=\"_blank\"\n       rel=\"noopener\">\n        View Tracker\n    <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"when-does-the-25-k-companion-award-give-the-best-value\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Does the 25K Companion Award Give the Best Value?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The obvious answer might be to use exactly 25,000 points of the certificate. That is a good starting point, but it is not the whole story. Consider three possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Award Costs 15,000 Points<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would save only 15,000 points because the companion&#8217;s entire award costs less than the certificate. The remaining 10,000 points of certificate value would be wasted. Unless the certificate is close to expiring, you may want to find a more expensive award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Award Costs 25,000 Points<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a clean redemption. The first traveler pays 25,000 points and the companion requires zero points, excluding taxes and fees. You use the full certificate value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Award Costs 60,000 Points<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not dismiss this automatically. The first traveler pays 60,000 points and the companion pays 35,000. You still save the full 25,000 points. This can actually be more useful when the certificate helps you afford two premium cabin seats that would otherwise require 120,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best use of the Atmos Global Companion Award is therefore not necessarily an award priced at exactly 25,000 points. It is a trip you genuinely want where the certificate saves close to its full value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n\n<style>\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');\n\n*{\n    margin:0;\n    padding:0;\n    box-sizing:border-box;\n}\n\n.fp-routes-banner{\n    width:100%;\n    max-width:700px;\n    margin:24px auto;\n    padding:22px 24px;\n    display:flex;\n    align-items:center;\n    justify-content:space-between;\n    gap:22px;\n\n    background:linear-gradient(135deg,#7C4FE0 0%,#4E63F5 50%,#0A5AFE 100%);\n    border-radius:16px;\n    box-shadow:0 10px 28px rgba(10,90,254,.18);\n\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;\n}\n\n.fp-content{\n    flex:1;\n    min-width:0;\n}\n\n.fp-title{\n    color:#fff !important;\n    font-size:22px !important;\n    font-weight:700 !important;\n    line-height:1.3;\n    margin:0 0 8px;\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif !important;\n}\n\n.fp-text{\n    color:rgba(255,255,255,.9) !important;\n    font-size:14px !important;\n    line-height:1.6;\n    margin:0;\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif !important;\n}\n\n\/* Button Wrapper *\/\n.fp-btn-wrap{\n    flex-shrink:0;\n    display:flex;\n    align-items:center;\n    justify-content:center;\n}\n\n\/* Revision Theme Proof Button *\/\n.fp-btn,\n.fp-btn:link,\n.fp-btn:visited{\n    display:inline-flex !important;\n    align-items:center !important;\n    justify-content:center !important;\n\n    width:auto !important;\n    min-width:170px !important;\n    height:46px !important;\n    padding:0 22px !important;\n\n    background:#ffffff !important;\n    color:#0A5AFE !important;\n\n    border-radius:10px !important;\n    border:none !important;\n\n    font-family:'Inter',sans-serif !important;\n    font-size:14px !important;\n    font-weight:700 !important;\n    line-height:1 !important;\n\n    text-decoration:none !important;\n    white-space:nowrap !important;\n\n    box-shadow:none !important;\n    overflow:hidden !important;\n\n    transition:all .25s ease;\n}\n\n.fp-btn:hover,\n.fp-btn:focus{\n    background:#F5F8FF !important;\n    color:#0A5AFE !important;\n    text-decoration:none !important;\n    transform:translateY(-2px);\n}\n\n@media (max-width:768px){\n\n    .fp-routes-banner{\n        padding:20px;\n        gap:18px;\n    }\n\n    .fp-title{\n        font-size:20px !important;\n    }\n\n}\n\n@media (max-width:600px){\n\n    .fp-routes-banner{\n        flex-direction:column;\n        text-align:center;\n        padding:20px 18px;\n        gap:18px;\n    }\n\n    .fp-content{\n        width:100%;\n    }\n\n    .fp-title{\n        font-size:19px !important;\n    }\n\n    .fp-btn-wrap{\n        width:100%;\n    }\n\n    .fp-btn,\n    .fp-btn:link,\n    .fp-btn:visited{\n        width:100% !important;\n        max-width:240px !important;\n        min-width:0 !important;\n        margin:0 auto !important;\n    }\n\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/head>\n\n<body>\n\n<div class=\"fp-routes-banner\">\n\n    <div class=\"fp-content\">\n        <h2 class=\"fp-title\">\n            Points or Cash Calculator\n        <\/h2>\n\n        <p class=\"fp-text\">\n            Find out whether using points or paying cash gives you better value.

That does not mean you always should. Premium cabins make the certificate sound more exciting, but the savings remain capped at 25,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Economy award:<\/strong> 25,000 points each<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business award:<\/strong> 80,000 points each<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificate saves 25,000 points in either case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the question is not whether Business Class gives a larger certificate discount. It does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, ask whether the Business Class award itself is a good redemption. Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/tools\/cpp-calculator?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;utm_campaign=cpp_calculator\">Flightpoints CPP Calculator<\/a> to compare the points you are spending with the cash price of the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also check the <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/tools\/points-or-cash?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;utm_campaign=points_or_cash\">Points or Cash Calculator<\/a> if you are deciding whether using Atmos points makes sense at all. A 25,000-point discount cannot turn an overpriced award into a good redemption by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"do-partner-awards-make-better-companion-award-redemptions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Partner Awards Make Better Companion Award Redemptions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can. Atmos Rewards uses a wide network of airline partners, which is one reason the certificate has more potential than a companion benefit limited to Alaska flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flightpoints currently highlights several Atmos partner sweet spots, including short American Airlines awards and selected long-haul premium cabin opportunities with carriers such as Japan Airlines. For travelers booking for two, partner awards are especially interesting because 25,000 points can represent a meaningful portion of the second ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge is finding two seats. Before planning a trip around one specific premium cabin, use <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/\">Flightpoints award search<\/a> to check nearby dates and alternative partner airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If nothing is available, set an award alert rather than moving your travel plans around a certificate that still has time left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.revfp-banner{\n    max-width:650px;\n    width:100%;\n    margin:20px auto;\n    padding:20px 24px;\n    box-sizing:border-box;\n    text-align:center;\n    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;\n    background:linear-gradient(\n        135deg,\n        #bdd8ff 0%,\n        #d2e5ff 35%,\n        #e3efff 70%,\n        #f1f7ff 100%\n    );\n    border:1px solid #9fc5ff;\n    border-radius:18px;\n    box-shadow:\n        0 10px 24px rgba(10,90,254,.10),\n        inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.75);\n}\n\n.revfp-title{\n    margin:0;\n    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;\n    font-size:18px !important;\n    font-weight:700 !important;\n    line-height:1.3 !important;\n    color:#1b3b6b !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-text{\n    margin:12px auto 20px;\n    max-width:520px;\n    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;\n    font-size:14px !important;\n    font-weight:400 !important;\n    line-height:1.5 !important;\n    color:#5f7088 !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-actions{\n    display:flex !important;\n    justify-content:center !important;\n    align-items:center !important;\n    gap:12px !important;\n    flex-wrap:wrap !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-btn{\n    all:unset;\n    display:inline-flex !important;\n    justify-content:center !important;\n    align-items:center !important;\n    box-sizing:border-box !important;\n    width:92px !important;\n    height:36px !important;\n    border-radius:999px !important;\n    cursor:pointer;\n    text-decoration:none !important;\n    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;\n    font-size:14px !important;\n    font-weight:600 !important;\n    transition:all .2s ease;\n}\n\n.revfp-primary{\n    background:#0A5AFE !important;\n    color:#fff !important;\n    border:1px solid #0A5AFE !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-primary:hover{\n    background:#0848d8 !important;\n    border-color:#0848d8 !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-secondary{\n    background:#fff !important;\n    color:#0A5AFE !important;\n    border:1px solid #0A5AFE !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-secondary:hover{\n    background:#edf5ff !important;\n}\n\n@media(max-width:600px){\n\n.revfp-banner{\n    padding:18px 16px;\n}\n\n.revfp-title{\n    font-size:17px !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-text{\n    font-size:13px !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-actions{\n    gap:10px !important;\n}\n\n.revfp-btn{\n    width:90px !important;\n    height:36px !important;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"revfp-banner\">\n\n    <h3 class=\"revfp-title\">\n        Everything You Need for Award Travel\n    <\/h3>\n\n    <p class=\"revfp-text\">\n        Explore loyalty programs or instantly search award availability across airlines.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"revfp-actions\">\n\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/explore?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=internal&#038;utm_campaign=explore\"\n           class=\"revfp-btn revfp-primary\"\n           target=\"_blank\"\n           rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n            Explore\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightpoints.com\/search?utm_source=flightpoints_blog&#038;utm_medium=cta&#038;utm_campaign=flight_search&#038;utm_content=blog_cta\"\n           class=\"revfp-btn revfp-secondary\"\n           target=\"_blank\"\n           rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n            Search\n        <\/a>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-long-do-you-have-to-use-the-certificate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long Do You Have to Use the Certificate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current guidance indicates that Global Companion Awards are valid for 12 months from issuance. You need to book before the certificate expires, but the actual travel can take place afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That difference is useful. If your certificate expires in December, you do not necessarily need to complete the trip by December. You may be able to book a later flight as long as the ticket is issued while the certificate remains valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful when canceling close to or after expiration. If a certificate has already expired by the time you cancel, you may not be able to reuse it. Current guidance says cancellations before expiry can generally return the certificate with its original expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"atmos-global-companion-award-vs-the-99-companion-fare\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Atmos Global Companion Award vs the $99 Companion Fare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not confuse the two. The $99 Companion Fare is associated with eligible Atmos Rewards Ascent and Business cards. It applies to eligible cash tickets under its own fare rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Atmos Global Companion Award belongs to the premium Summit Visa Infinite card and is designed specifically for award travel using Atmos Rewards points.

What is the Atmos Global Companion Award?<\/strong><br>A: It is a benefit available to Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite cardholders. The 25K version provides up to 25,000 Atmos Rewards points toward a companion&#8217;s award ticket when two people are booked together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Does the 25K Global Companion Award make the second ticket completely free?<\/strong><br>A: Only when the companion award costs 25,000 points or less. If it costs more, you pay the difference in Atmos points. Taxes and fees still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Can you use the Atmos Global Companion Award on partner airlines?<\/strong><br>A: Yes. Alaska says the benefit works across eligible Alaska, Hawaiian, oneworld, and global partner awards, including premium cabin redemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Can you use the 25K award for Business Class?<\/strong><br>A: Yes. The Global Companion Award can be applied to eligible Business and First Class awards as well as Economy awards. You still need two award seats to be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. What happens if the companion ticket costs only 15,000 points?<\/strong><br>A: The certificate can cover the 15,000-point award, but the unused 10,000 points of certificate value are generally forfeited rather than saved for another booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Does the cardholder have to travel?<\/strong><br>A: Current redemption guidance indicates that the Summit cardholder does not necessarily need to be one of the two travelers. The certificate can be used to book two eligible passengers, subject to the current benefit terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What You Should Know The Atmos Global Companion Award is one of the more unusual airline credit card&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[633],"tags":[302,122,209,203,16,707,154],"class_list":["post-8758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-award-redemption","tag-award-availability","tag-award-flight-search","tag-award-redemptions","tag-credit-card-points","tag-flightpoints","tag-global-companion-award","tag-points","cs-entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8758"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8769,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758\/revisions\/8769"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flightpoints.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
