If its legit, TOTALLY!!!
(I'm still not sure why $3 is in question...even if it doesn't work out, its only $3 bucks.)

 Its legit, but becareful as they most liely have you on an automatic renewal so if you dont cancel in time  it will cost you.

BTW I hope you arent Thinking that the 1 tkt you have to purchase can be an ElCheapo, you usually have to purchase 1 of the most expensive fares , so most likley it will cost you less $$ to buy 2 ElCheapos then 1 reg tkt with the free companion, thats besides some other restrictions thrown in

Granted,
However, in my experience (not as much as steve2's), if the fare is over a certain amount (around $400), its usually worth it.
And as I mentoned, we are talking about $3, so its a pretty good investment...

so if you are taking someone with you, isn't it worth it??
$703 vs. $850??
and thats not to mention the perks of a more expensive ticket (ex. baggage, boarding etc)

 like I figured someone was gonna think they can get Something for Nothing.

 If I remember correctly since its a Companion tkt No Miles will be earned. So depending where a person has in mind to fly to it can be well worth it to purchase Both tkts, since the savings will most likely be very little if any in the end
