Frontier adds new companion certificates and mileage match for credit card holders

In addition to these credit card perks, Frontier introduced a "miles match" promotion. New members who join the Frontier Miles program by September 26 can have their miles matched up to what they hold in other eligible airline loyalty accounts. However, participants must first earn an equivalent number of miles with Frontier before receiving the matched bonus. This offer is limited to new members and capped at one million miles.

Last week, Frontier announced it would grant Gold status to loyalty members from Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue or Spirit Airlines.

"No other U.S. airline is giving travelers this much value," said Bobby Schroeter, Chief Commercial Officer at Frontier.

These promotions come as budget airlines face financial challenges compared to larger carriers that offer premium services and international routes. Frontier hopes that enhanced benefits—including its upcoming first-class seats—will appeal to travelers who may not have previously considered flying with low-cost airlines.
