I just got double qualifying miles?!
 

3,042 mi status miles 5,323 mi redeemable miles
I wasn't aware of any status miles promo but that's what posted to my account for MDW-LAS.

I logged into my account and first noticed that I needed under 3k miles to qualify for 20k (because of unexpected events, I ended up not using my 100k status I got last year from promos as much as I thought I would).

I booked this trip and one next week to get the 6k status miles I needed but now it appears I'll have 20k after this trip.

Weird that they wouldn't promote this. I specifically have followed the forum to see if there was a promo and there hasn't been.

Has anyone else noticed the double status miles?

If this isn't just a glitch I'm going to have to decide if I still want to come here next week. Flight is only $50 and hotel is $10 (no resort fees for me). I booked short trip so I wouldn't be gone long but with double promo, I won't need that trip.

I don't think Frontier knows what they are doing from one department to the next either. Asking them questions is a waste of time.

Did you get 6k qualifying miles for that trip? It looks like MDW>LAS is around 3k miles. I just did a trip to Phoenix over the weekend. I got the normal qualifying miles but double 2.5x redeemable miles. I am 100k, so should have only been 1.5x redeemable. You have me curious now, so I will do the math and see if they gave me bonus qualifying miles instead.

Yes, it's supposed to be a little over 3k status miles so I got double status miles for some reason.

Edit:
I just checked.it again..it still in there so appears to be permanent. I'll see tomorrow if I receive it on the return. Might still go next week anyway since it's a cheap trip but I'm sure some on here would book more flights if they knew they were for sure going to get double status miles.

This year I can't make a push towards higher status but normally, had I known about double miles, I would have made a push for 50k.

Interesting. I have 50k status but have enough flights booked to hit 100k. Haven't decided if I want to do it yet since it's a lot of flying in 2 weeks.. but double miles will make it pretty easy.

But my flight that came back yesterday only got regular miles, so might have been a glitch

I”ve done all the mileage promos but have not received double status miles. Just the multiplier for bonus miles. Lucky you.

Please see the other recent thread. I think this is what you are talking about. I borrowed this link from Cameron B.’s post in the other thread. (Thank you Cameron B.)

I purchased several tickets under a fare sale in November. The tickets fell within the parameters of the deal in the link below.

I received 2x status miles and what looks like 3x the reward miles for the trips so far.

I believe that you had to purchase your tickets in November to qualify. The fly dates are 11/8/22 to 12/31/22. Please see the link for the details.


EDIT: I tried to post the link, but it wouldn’t let me since I am a newbie. Please see Cameron B.’s post in the other thread.

That sounds right. I used some fare code when I booked these trips so I guess I'll get double for return flight and trip next week. Didn't even know I had booked under a promo.

I guess I'll just likely go next week. Get 9k something redeemable (status miles will be useless bc I'll already be 20k) for my $50 flight.

The thing is, the promo was supposed to be ONLY for bonus miles, not qualifying Elite miles.

If you were not a DiscountDen member, but had a FrontierMiles account, you would get 2x bonus. If you were a DiscountDen member, you would get 3x.

It doesn't make sense that this is posting for Elite miles as well. I'm pretty confused on that. I do have a flight tomorrow that was booked during this promo window. We'll see what happens I guess.

Somewhat amusing that their bad IT works in our favor.

My return flight today posted the same and the outbound flight.

Data Point: I also got double status miles & double redeemable miles from what I normally get (50K elite, DD member), despite not signing up for any promo. Didn't need them since I had already met 20K requirements and won't be coming close to 50K.
Flew RT 12/6 and 12/7. Purchased on 11/20/22

interesting. I had a flight 11/29 that was booked in the promo window. I got regular status miles and 2.5x redeemable miles. Supposed to get 3x with Discount Den.

The key is when it was booked, which had to be anytime between Nov 8-30th.

Correct. Mine were booked 11/20

I booked 4 in the November window with enough EQMs between them (at 1X) to put me over the top on 20K elite. So far two have posted at 2x for EQMs and 3X for RDMs + the 25% status bonus, making it 3.25X for RDMs. The amounts for the EQMs weren't expected but are welcome.

Good thing, too, since they messed up my short LAS run with a 7-hour delay due to crew issues that wasn't announced until the original departure time. I bailed on that and requested the refund. They also haven't posted one of the segments I took but maybe the boarding pass didn't scan into the system? So I'm down to the last run this weekend which would do it by itself at 2X, if the luck continues there.
