Booking with Rapid Rewards points

[rmbaldez]

Hello!  I would like to know if using my Rapid Rewards miles affects how quickly I can get to the amount needed for a Companion Pass.

I am PRETTY SURE that if you use your RR points, you don't earn anything towards companion pass. So that would be yes, it does affect how quickly you get there. 🙂

You earn points that can be used to book flights. That counter drops when you use them and increases when you earn them.

Companion Pass qualifying points use a different counter. It never decreases until the end of the calendar year, when it resets to zero.

Using your points has no effect on your already-earned Companion Pass qualifying points. However, if you use points to pay for a flight, you won't earn any new points (CP or otherwise) for that flight.
