SW companion pass questions

[focusondisney]

Wondering if you have to book your free companion's ticket when you book your own ticket or if the companion's pass ticket can be added later? And if you can earn the pass after your ticket is already purchased & add the free ticket later, after you have earned the pass?

I am hoping to apply for new SW cards for my DH later this year & earn a companion pass in January, for use in 2018 & 2019. Our first trip next year will be in early May. Those dates are supposed to open for booking Monday. I don't know if I should go ahead & book his ticket right away or wait til we actually have earned the CP? If I book it right away, can I add my CP ticket later after we've earned it? And I'm also wondering if it's better to to book his ticket with points in case I need to cancel & rebook later to add the CP? If I have to book both tickets together, I'd probably just wait & book them both after we get the pass. Thanks for your help!

You can book your companion's ticket any time as long as there are seats available!

With your scenario, if you'd be booking on points now, I'd book both tickets to make sure you get the cheap fare. Book them separately on points. Then cancel yours after he gets the pass and get the points back. You won't have to cancel your DHs ticket.
