Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns - Keeping F9 miles alive

What can I do to keep my F9 miles alive another two years without actually flying on F9? I see that I can buy some more miles or rent a car from Hertz. Is there anything else?

I recently rented a car from Enterprise and they offered me the option of inputting my F9 frequent flyer number. It turns out that Frontier does not actually give credit for Enterprise rentals, so that was a waste!

I've personnally completed these items for a once a year accrual to keep the miles. If you have Hilton or Marriott rewards, you could transfer 1000 points/miles to F9. I haven't flown Continental in years and my miles with them are all accruals from staying at a Hilton and giving my airline miles to CO. I have since changed that for F9 now that F9 is an option (wasn't before). The same process is possible if you have AMEX Membership Rewards. Another way is to sign up for the F9 credit card but I'm not a fan of credit cards in general so I can't recommend it. There might be another way like taking a Supershuttle but the Hilton/Marriot/Amex is the cheapest way out.

(*Amex MR is not listed there explicitly, but last I checked you can convert MR -- or even before mid-Feb MRO -- to F9 miles. MR conversions can be done also through points.com and that is listed there.)

Btw, no Hilton HHonors listed there, and no Frontier listed at:

http://hhonors.hilton.com/en/hhonors/rewards/airline.jhtml

or

http://hhonors.hilton.com/en/hhonors/partners/airline.jhtml

so I'm not sure how flyingcat2k is planning to do HHonors, or if they simply got HHonors confused with Marriott Rewards (which does support F9).

To the best of my knowledge, Enterprise doesn't have any mileage partners or award program at all.

Thanks for this. I went looking for it before posting but somehow didn't find it.

Ok, I stand corrected. HHonors does not support F9 and I don't think they care that I sent an e-mail pleading with them to support F9. My sincerest appologies.

If you are not already signed up at Points.com, they will give you 30 F9 miles when you sign up. Points.com is a free membership. They say the 30 miles will be credited in 7 days.

I just got the "your points are going to expire" email as well, and I was gearing up to transfer some Marriott points over, but this is much easier!

Actually, it looks like they credited my F9 account in under five minutes. Nice!

I never got the "your miles are about to expire" email, and, of course, my miles have expired (not a huge balance, though). Are there any ways to get them back? TIA.

Yup.

Book a SuperShuttle reservation **online** and earn 50 miles.... not a ton, but by looks of your profile, SuperShuttle serves your home airport.

Not only would it net you 50 miles, keeping you account active, but you would also wouldn't have to pay for parking @ DEN.

[of course, you could earn another 50 miles for booking a return from DEN to your residence in the Denver area]

I have used points.com and AMEX MR to keep F9 miles from expiration.
