Frontier Airlines Gold Status Match for All Southwest Rapid Rewards Members

Frontier Airlines is offering a status match promo to their Gold Status for all Southwest Rapid Rewards Members. The status match lasts through December 31st, 2025. Offer is set to expire April 30, 2025. It costs $40 to apply for this status match, but my understanding is that as long as you have a single Frontier flight sometime during 2025 where you’d like to bring any sort of luggage, you’ll basically break-even or better. A single carry-on baggage fee paid at booking starts at $30 and can cost up to $55 ($60 if checked at gate). Standard seat assignments cost from ~$17 to $55.

If you fly Frontier regularly, then this could be a very valuable deal. (I’ve never flown Frontier myself, but I understand that between certain cities, they are often the best deal by far, even with all the various add-on fees.)

Gold Status includes:

• Priority boarding (Zone 1)
• Free seat assignment at booking (Preferred). Possible free Premium seat upgrade at check-in.
• Free carry-on bag.
• No change or cancellation fees (+7 days from departure).
• Priority customer care.
• 14X points per $1 spent at flyfrontier.com.

Selected terms from the fine print:

· All applicants must be current members of the FRONTIER Miles? program. If you’re not currently enrolled, you may do so here.

· Eligible members must hold a valid Southwest Rapid Rewards membership (joined Rapid Rewards before April 16th, 2025) and provide details.

· The Instant FRONTIER Miles Elite Gold Status offer provides eligible and approved members Frontier Elite Gold Status through December 31, 2025.
