My questions is, can I get refunded for flights I have already booked for next year if I make one of my kids traveling with me my companion? I know I could cancel a reservation and hold it for a year but that would not be helpful because that person would be able to fly free with me all year anyway and the credit would expire. I suppose I could name one kid as my companion, cancel their already booked flights, take the early year trips, then chnage my companion to my other kid and use the credit from the first kid to book flights later in the year. Will that work if needed? One idea I have is for the childs reservation you cancel and make the companion you can use the travel funds from the canceled flight to pay the $5.60 fee each way (or higher for international flights) when you rebook the child as the companion. Just be sure you use the remainder of the funds by the expiration date which is one year from the original reservations booking date. Hope this helps! Blake

@Jayandruk It sounds like you already have a Chase RR personal card. If that is the case, I recommend getting the Chase RR business card! There are a couple of reasons: The expenses you mention are indeed business-related, and this would give you a separate card designated for business expenses. If you already hold a personal card, getting the business card is the only way you will receive the sign up bonus (assuming you don't already have the business card). These points are valuable, especially for Companion Pass qualification. Check here to get more info about the business card.
