Spirit Airlines Status Match Challenge For Elite Members Of Other U.S. Frequent Flyer Programs

by Sebastian Powell

Reading Time: 3 mins read

Spirit Airlines (yeah, you heard that right) has no published a Status Match Campaign (90 Day Challenge) targeted to elite tier members of other U.S. based frequent flyer programs.

Matched members receive free Spirit Status for ninety (90) days after which they will have the opportunity to earn ongoing Free Spirit Silver or Gold status based on reduced earning criteria.

Spirit Airlines is a rather exotic carrier to look at for a status match from a legacy carrier but maybe some routes do make sense for the one or other customer.

You can find details about the Status Match Challenge on Spirit’s website.

The Free Spirit Status Match Challenge is an opportunity for you to experience the most valuable benefits of the Free Spirit program. It’s a way to switch your loyalty to Spirit and immediately benefit from our Status levels. If you currently have elite status with another airline, we will give you the equivalent Free Spirit Status for ninety (90) days – complimentary. Plus, you will have the opportunity to earn ongoing Free Spirit Silver or Gold status based on reduced earning criteria which can be found on our Free Spirit 101 page.

Once your request is approved, you will be granted 90 days of Free Spirit Silver or Gold status based on your current status with another airline and the challenge level you have requested. Your complimentary Status Match will last for ninety days within 24 hours after you receive your confirmation email. If your request is not approved, you’ll receive an email notifying you of our decision.

Enjoying your complimentary Free Spirit Status? Extend it by earning the required amount of Free Spirit Status Qualification Points during the ninety-day complimentary period.

  • You will have 90 days to earn ongoing Free Spirit Silver or Gold status based on reduced earning criteria which can be found in the chart below and on our Free Spirit 101 page.
  • If you meet the challenge criteria, you will enjoy the benefits of the Silver or Gold program level for the remainder of that calendar year plus the following calendar year (same as members who earn Free Spirit Status)
  • If you do not meet the challenge criteria, the Silver or Gold status will be terminated immediately, and you will be returned to the Free Spirit level you held prior to the Status Match Challenge
  • You are allowed one challenge per member every two years
  • An email will be sent confirming the outcome of the Status Match Challenge

Spirit Airlines (Spirit 101) has two level, Silver & Gold that customers can match to:

The program is spend based. To have an indicator, on each ticket you earn one SQP per dollar spent with Spirit Airlines, taxes and fees not included.

The following programs are eligible to match from:

As one can see from this chart the airlines eligible to request a match are all U.S. based as immediate competitors. The request form can be found here.

Interestingly Spirit is one of these airlines that doesn’t allow you to access the website from abroad, you need a VPN.

Conclusion

Right now airlines everywhere are trying to carve out a little more markets hare and travel in the U.S. is contrary to most other countries rather busy these days.

Spirit (while being far from my favorite airline) has been rather bullish in the low cost aviation sector for years. I have friends who frequently use it on flights especially to/from Las Vegas. Maybe this match/challenge will help some customers to improve the experience a little.
