Our Verdict
Nice deal for anybody chasing the companion pass or just some extra points.
I received this promotion. I have flown 1 round trip, 3 flights total in 2021. I flew two round trips in 2020. I chose the A-List 10,000 TQP offer since I am only flying twice between now and the promotion period end and I do not feel the 3x points is beneficial compared to A-List since I’d now only need 10,000 more TQP to earn A-List which I will earn through a credit card referral bonus later this year for a friend. A-List gets me an additional 25% in points earned per flight so ultimately I feel I get a bit more with A-List for a whole year instead of 3x points for two flights.
credit card referrals and signup bonuses give you spendable Rapid Rewards (RR) points and Companion Pass Qualifying Points (CPQPs), but do not count toward your Tier Qualifying Points for A-List or A-List Preferred status. You need to earn 10k points from revenue flights this year. The only exception is that $10k spend nets you 1500 TQPs.

This maybe pretty targeted. Also not seeing anything similar in the comments below.
So if you select the 10k points option, do you get 10k rapid rewards points/miles you can use to book flights? Or just 10k points towards companion pass?
Just 10k towards Companion Pass. You earn the standard RR rate towards your RR balance.
Thanks!
Wife’s account got it, girlfriend’s account did not!
My wife didn’t get it but her boyfriend did.
Appears to be targeted. Not showing up for me.
My account has promotional A-list status after 2 one-way or 1 round-trip as an option. Might jump on that
