I am a new Companion Pass holder (thru getting SWA credit card). I have made my first reservation using my CP; daughter #1 is my companion for a trip in August 2022. I want my daughter #2 to be my companion for a trip in September. Do I have to wait until all travel with Companion in August is completed BEFORE I can change my companion name to daughter #2? If the answer is YES, can I reserve daughter #2 on the desired flight using points (to hold her a seat), and then "convert" her points reservation to companion status? (OR pls advise how to do this, and in what order).

You're on the right track. Yes, you need to wait until trip with companion #1 is complete before you can change your companion to person #2. You can "hold" a spot on trip #2 with points and then cancel it when you are ready to add your companion to that flight. However, that does not guarantee a spot will open up immediately, but it does seem to be the best bet if you are worried about a flight being completely sold out. If you do find yourself in the position of needing to add a companion to a sold out flight don't give up hope. Typically seats will become available 1-2 days prior to departure as people change plans or cancel right around the check-in time. Remember, you only need a seat in any fare class to be available to add a companion.
