Has anyone converted it to A- and got 20K?
I only have 10K in F9 acct, so not worried about losing miles (will use it before then).
I cancelled mine earlier this year but would advise against cancelling if you have any plans to use your miles, even 10,000. When I called to cancel I was offered the option to downgrade to the no-annual-fee version but at the time I was so frustrated with Frontier that I just wanted to cancel. I should have downgraded just to extend my AAOA and to have a card that still waives the close-in award fees.
Sorry I can't contribute as far as converting to one of the other cards, I just recommend not canceling. At the very least go to the no-annual-fee version.
