*Illustrative examples of loyalty program equivalencies. Terms, conditions and fees apply.

  • The Status Match offer is limited in number of matches and timeframe at the sole discretion of StatusMatch.com and Frontier. The offer may end, be limited in some way, price changed or any other terms changed at the discretion of Frontier and StatusMatch.com at any time.
  • StatusMatch.com members that recently matched into any other airline, cannot use their new elite status to match into Frontier. All non-matched status tier members are eligible.

Select Terms and Conditions

To be eligible for the elite upgrade status match with Frontier Airlines for 2024, you must join the FRONTIER Miles frequent flier loyalty program offering the match and meet the eligibility criteria, pay any applicable fees, and submit details of current elite level status held with the frequent flier loyalty program of another airline.

Only one status match per person will be permitted under this campaign. No changes can be made after approval is given. It is the responsibility of the member to select the highest tier available to match from when applying.

The elite upgrade status match with Frontier Airlines for 2024 is valid until Tuesday, December 31, 2024 following approval.

All Status Match requests are handled by and are the responsibility of StatusMatch.com and not by Frontier or any of its affiliates. A one-time application fee applies and will show on members credit card statements as “FRONTIER STATUS MATCH”. Chargebacks will result in revoking of the elite status and account closure.

In addition to other eligibility requirements, a status match will only be granted to applicants whose name matches what exists in the Frontier Miles frequent flier loyalty program.

The Status Match offer is limited in number of matches and timeframe at the sole discretion of StatusMatch.com and Frontier. The offer may end, be limited in some way, price changed or any other terms changed at the discretion of Frontier and StatusMatch.com at any time.

StatusMatch.com members who recently matched into any other airline cannot use their new elite status to match into FRONTIER Miles. All non-matched status tier members are eligible.

Other terms and conditions — including those of the FRONTIER Miles frequent flier loyalty program and those of this elite status match upgrade offer — apply.

Final Boarding Call

For some people, the fees to have elite status verified for the elite upgrade status match with Frontier Airlines for 2024 could be a deterrent to this promotion, as the frequent travel loyalty programs of airlines and lodging companies typically do not charge a fee to have elite status matched from other airlines — but Frontier Airlines is an ultra-low-cost airline; and if you believe that you will be traveling as a passenger of Frontier Airlines several times or on a regular basis, the money you could potentially save combined with an upgraded flying experience for you or for both you and members of your family traveling together could easily offset the cost of that fee.

  1. I have the fortune (misfortune?) of flying Frontier with some regularity this year and got comped to 20k to start the year but have made 50k since the old fashioned way. I cannot whine too terribly much when I’m paying on average less than $22 per one-way ticket all in (would be less if I went to buy tickets at the airport, but Frontier makes it extremely difficult and time consuming to do so), and if things go wrong, I have no problem abandoning the ticket. Lowest I’ve ever paid on same route with American is $113 for basic economy.

    Elite’s only benefit really is getting the Stretch seating for free. There still is no way of communicating with the airline outside of the usual web chat or email, just like anybody else. Even as a 50k, I’ve been denied published benefits, told wrongly by Frontier airport and online staff (even after showing their own terms and conditions on the website), and had a heck of a time getting miles credited for flights, or even to get my elite status to show up correctly.

    My favorite line was the round and round of why I didn’t get miles for one trip: “Flights to and from Cleveland do not qualify for awarding of miles or flight credit.” Which is completely wrong, but their customer service stuck to it. Also had trouble adding a free seat assignment to others on a reservation, to be told that is not a benefit (published all over the website), or to have them apologize, fix it, then unable to check in because they charged me for the seat and left a balance due on the record.

    I don’t feel the least bit bad the times I’ve had to throw away a ticket… because I always check in, select for free the seat that would cost them the most to upsell, then no show. Worked out for me last week. They ended up canceling the flight and I got a $100 voucher while I was still in bed.
