Status Match/Challenge?
 

With Frontier ramping up Atlanta I am considering giving them a try.

What is their policy/history of Status matching or offering challenges?

How would you request such a thing?

Just email Early Returns but you wont get much as an Elite. The fares are so low they can't really afford to give a great deal way. I did the challenge in June when they ramped CLE after UA ditched the hub. I really like F9 but its certainly a different world.

I'm a refugee from AirTran and the Elite benefits would seem make a decent difference in a number of ways. The cost saving are the major incentive.

Did they match status or offer a challenge? If so what were the conditions?

The Atlanta flights I'm interested in don't start until the end of April and I have booked my travel through May, so I wouldn't want to start a challenge before the end of May.

I had sixty days to fly 5K miles, at that time I was given Summit which is now disco'd. Email Early Returns and request a status match, they should reply with the challenge.

Was there a segment option? or just the 5K miles. Of course at the rate they have been changing things I guess you can't be sure.

I guess I'll wait till closer to the end of my booked travel and email them.

How do you email them? I haven't found a valid email address and the form on the web site seems to require a confirmation number

I just got a response to my status match request. It took about 2 weeks for the initial response but once documentation was provided it was approved within a couple of hours.

The terms are temporary Elite Status of 60 days, if 6 one way flights are completed within the 60 days then Elite status through the end of the year. That should be plenty of time to earn status for next year.

I expect it will save an additional few dollars per flight with free seat selection and a free carry on bag.

will someone PM me the email address?
