For me the only way to do it will be to spend $12,500 on the Spirit MasterCard to get 1,250 points. If I use my 2% cash back card instead of Spirit credit card for a 12,500 spend, I would earn $250 cash back. Need to determine if Gold status is worth $250 for me.

Have others done this? Was it worth $250 to you?

I'm in a similar boat... need 500 SQPs to keep the Silver status. That means $500 spend (not happening) or getting the MC and spending $5,000. As much as I didn't mind flying on them, I don't think I'm going to go for this one.
