I checked New Years Day and I guess there's still no update as of the 2nd. I'm not surprised with F9 not having coded it in yet.
Has anyone flown since the reset? I wonder if they've even coded the new mileage earnings properly.

Reached out via the email contact form... they responded asking for confirmation of the contact info I already provided by the form (which they seem to always do...). But I did that and a couple days later my status is showing again.
We'll see if I can maintain my status going forward. I've been a loyal Frontier flyer but also chase low fares. 10k should be easy but unsure about 20k and whether maintaining 10k is attractive enough to keep me loyal. Forget 50k ever happening again.

I'm flying tonight and will check tomorrow how my elite miles are calculated. Still looks like the old system of 20k air miles needed to get 20k status but we'll see. I'm with the others if this becomes based purely off of spend my status is going to be nothing next year without a match.

Did you book the flight in 2023? I believe that end of the year promo applied the regular miles plus bonus miles for all flights booked during the promo period (which ended at end of 2023) and included flights flown in 2024 but booked during that period.

Still no update in my profile. Really looking to gift that gold status to a family member who is flying a lot. Every day that ticks by without being to do so is a wasted day. I reached out and they said it can only be done once my account is converted, which at this time is "in process".

I made reservations last night for me and my wife and the updated Elite Platinum benefits were available for her (free carry on and checked bag, and free seat assignment (non stretch)).
I looked at another existing booking (purchased December 2023) going out later this month (just for me) and I got free stretch seating and a free checked bag.
Today, I got on the website and I'm an "Elite Platinum" now. So Frontier followed through on the Elite 50K upgrades!

Per a supervisor on chat:
We will be sending an email on January 29, 2024 opening enrollment through February 29th. Members will receive instructions in the email. Gifted Elite Status members will receive status through the end of 2024
//seems they advertised these features, then started working on the back end coding after 2024 started. Also sounds like if we don't decide and gift the benefit before March, that we wiill lose the ability to gift.

January 29 here we are and still no email! One month of the gold gift perk gone.
Edit: Just talked to someone at Frontier via FB chat. I was informed that emails will "start" going out today, with all customers eligible receiving the emails by February 29. That's a whole month window they're now giving themselves.

Today a whatsapp elite agent and supervisor told me that the emails DID go out on Jan 29th. They implied it was my fault and it probably went into junk mail or spam.
Then they doubled down on the deadline: find the email and select a gold recipient by late Feb. Otherwise we miss out.
