No I can not, but reading the TOS, it sounds pretty cut-and-dried (bolding mine):

"Mileage in a Member's account will not expire so long as the member generates accrual activity in the account."

Looks like you need to accrue points at least every 18 months to keep 'em alive.

I'm up for renewal of my Frontier credit card and am thinking about canceling before the AF hits. I'm assuming that I'll have 18 months to use 'em or lose 'em (or perhaps apply for their credit card again in 14-16 months if I need to extend their life).
