Here are the steps they posted since the Link seems to show broken on here:
For those of you who purchased the Elite Status and got the Frontier Elite 20K Status e-mail but need to update a previously booked flight try the following.
Step 1: Find your flight information that was send to your email.
Step 2: Press on Access your booking
Step 3: The website then should pull up “your cart”.
Step 4: Press Edit under Passenger
Step 5: The Passenger Info should pull up and then go to the bottom and press continue. (This is the critical step as it re-registers your Frontiers Airline # and then it finds that your Airlines # is Elite Status)
Step 6: Go and add your Carry-on and choose your seat.
This seems to work for seats. But it does not seem to work for bags. My wife was 20k, did the upgrade to 100k. I can upgrade to stretch seats, but it's not giving the option to get a free checked bag. I'm not too surprised by this, just reporting it.
