They should be able to grant you an exception to the no-refund policy and issue a refund for both; however the refund would need to be requested.
Refunds for EBCI are now within policy for situations that are not within the customer's control. It should auto-refund within 7 days, but if not the updated policy is here and one can reach out for a refund https://support.southwest.com/helpcenter/s/article/If-Southwest-Airlines-cancels-my-flight-will-I-get-a-refund-for-my-EarlyBird-Check-In-purchase
For A1-A15 Upgraded Boarding, a refund must be proactively requested https://support.southwest.com/helpcenter/s/article/Upgraded-Boarding

Isn't this EBCI, in a sense? That was so problematic that they eventually stopped selling it on most flights. My concern here is that this also further incentivizes preboarding abuse, and not 100% sure how family boarding would be accounted for if a group decides not to purchase connected positions (WN does not need bad press about families not sitting together like on F9 or NK)

Are you sure the reservation fully ticketed? If Southwest was unable to complete the authorization for whatever reason (in this case, maybe an Apple Pay bug?) then no funds will be taken from your card though there might be a pending authorization on it for a couple of days.

I would argue Apple Pay is not obscure software... but in either case the OP's reservation failing to ticket for payment authorization failure will result in the release of any holds on any payment methods that were used

credit should no longer expire if you book and then cancel. I have done this before when I am worried about losing the gift card, I'll book something for about the GC amount and then cancel so it is tied to my account

My suspicion for prioritization within the same fare group is that the actual underlying fare class plays a part, but time of standby listing likely does as well

As a data point, I did do standby for similar reasons and I still got the "you've qualified" email. I believe the terms are mostly about changes that take the flight past May 22

I don’t think they’ve ever officially revealed, but the easiest for WN to calculate is likely status tier, then fare group (possibly using the underlying fare classes), then time of ticketing. This prevents having to make any external calls to a CRM or such

Anniversary points are actual RR points (that also qualify for Companion Pass) and are issued separately from the 10K Companion Pass boost which are not really RR points
... View more
Look at your Companion Pass tracker on this page: https://www.southwest.com/loyalty/myaccount/rapid-rewards.html
Mine indicates "^ Includes 10,000 annual Rapid Rewards® Credit Card boost." - if you don't see that and at least 10,000 points n your tracker, definitely call Southwest

I just checked as well, I have the 3X and the 5X (I believe the actual total will only be 6 bonus points as they seem to really be base +2 and base+4...)
This particular offer says to wait 8 weeks past the end of the month when the purchase occurred which would take us to April 25th. If they haven't posted by then I would definitely call

Based on this, it looks like Southwest never received the points. You'd need to contact Chase about where those points are, and if they're not forthcoming with an answer you might want to look into the CFPB

You would use the current confirmation code. When you go to book the new flight it will ask you to enter the Flight Credit info of first name, last name, and the original confirmation code. Your new reservation will receive an entirely different one.
As far as rebooking, yes as of right now if you cancel, rebook into WGA+, and cancel again the flight credit will become transferable even if it previously was not. I'm not sure Southwest intended this so it could change in the future.
Keep in mind transferable funds are only transferable one time though you could do the same book WGA+ and cancel if you wanted to make them transferable again.

As long as you registered you will qualify assuming you meet the other terms of the promotion. It was removed as the registration period is over. Once you take the required flights, you'll receive a new promotion entitled "You’ve earned Promotional Companion Pass. Congrats! Valid August 5 – October 2, 2024."

Here's the info for this particular promo:
"You can book travel now, and starting August 5, 2024, you can add your Companion to your existing reservations. You’ll have until October 2, 2024 to enjoy the benefits of this offer. We can’t wait to see you and your Companion onboard soon!?"

Check your email for a receipt. It'll be titled something like "You're going to Mars on 01/01 (ABCDEF)!"
The flight qualifies if you paid with anything that isn't points or an employee buddy pass. So card, Southwest credits, things like that qualify.
The terms state that "Changes made to any itinerary after purchase of a one-way or round trip revenue flight may eliminate qualification for this promotion"

That is indeed what I’m saying! Book for yourself, then transfer the remaining credit. Once that’s booked, transfer the remaining credit onward and repeat.
I suppose what the original poster could do is book however as many itineraries as they have people (for a similarly priced flight) then cancel, and end up with however many credits they need.
Example: I have $300 transferable credit. I book the flight I need for $100. I then make 2 separate $100 bookings on other flights, and refund those to a transferable flight credit. Now I have one correct flight and two $100 transferable credits instead of one $300 credit.
