This just changed for the worse today:
6. Here are tips & tricks to get the Southwest Companion Pass with Marriott flight packages. So you and a loved one can travel for free for nearly 2 years!
“Purchased points, transferred points transferred between members, points converted from hotel and car loyalty programs, and e-Rewards, e-Miles, Valued Opinions and Diners Club, points earned from program enrollment, tier bonus points, flight bonus points, and partner bonus points (with the exception of the Rapid Rewards Credit Cards from Chase) do not qualify as Companion Pass Qualifying Points.”
As of today Jan-01-2017, tip #6 – the Southwest Companion Pass with Marriott flight packages – no longer works. Southwest just changed their official rules to stop this loophole.
