Companion certificates and fares: every card that has one.
Companion certificates are vouchers, not statement credits: the value exists only when you fly that airline with someone, book a qualifying fare class, and pay the companion’s taxes. Unused, they are worth exactly nothing, and their catalog values are deliberately conservative.
Every card with one, sorted by face value.
