You will earn flight points on any tickets PURCHASED by October 19, 2013.
You will have access to booking through Spirit for the companion airfare through October 19, 2013.
Any flight points you have will remain until you convert them with matched spend.
Thanks for the info! I have a grandfathered PPE card with no annual fee, so I will probably keep the card. But my several thousand $/month will go to zero when no longer matched by flight points. This is not even close to competitive. Why would anybody earning TYP care about restaurants on PPE when the Citi Forward gives 5X?
A few questions.
1. How do you know this?
2. So the flight points earned by everything booked by October 19 will remain until matched by spend?
3. Is there any limit on how long we will have to match the flight points?
