"Frequent Spender" program terminated
I have had a Frontier Credit Card for a few years now and I happened to be looking at the fine print of the latest statement today. In a sidebar was this announcement:
"Effective March 31, 2010, Frontier Airlines will discontinue the Frontier MasterCard "Frequent Spender" program, which granted members who spend $60,000 or more in a 12 month period Ascent status."
I must've missed the email communication. I'm a little miffed about this program termination as it was the only reason I used a Frontier MasterCard. I don't fly enough to qualify for an elite status and this card was a great way to get around that.
Does this affect anyone else? Is there another card that offered this type of status upgrade just for spending? Is there another/better card I should consider now? Without the bump in status for "frequent spending" it seems pointless to carry the Frontier MasterCard anymore, don't you think?
