How Quick do Miles Post
 

I'm currently a Delta SkyMiles member and they are posting miles for flights within 12 to 24 hours of the flight. How long does it take for Frontier to post miles as I may become a member for some flights I need to take.

Thanks for any info...

I cannot say how quickly for certain, as I am generally quite busy with other things between 12 and 24 hours of landing. I can say they are generally posted within 48 hours of landing, along with any bonus miles one may be entitled to as an Ascent or Summit level member.

How long till posting of miles?
 

I've returned from a Frontier flight this past June 2, and today's June 6 and my miles have not posted, does it take this long for miles to post?

My experience has seen miles post within two business days.

If you don't see your miles soon, drop them an email or phone.

Thanks for the info. I ended up having to email EarlyReturns, and they replied within 24 hours, and my miles were subsequently posted. Odd that they didn't post automatically, and that it required an email to have this taken care of. But, after I emailed, the reply was prompt and the situation quickly taken care of . Thanks for the help.

Probably a minor glitch as they work toward integration of the two airlines. I'm sure we'll see a few more glitches in the coming months.

Do you also have problems with miles not posting ? I had one flight in July not posting and had to email Frontier and they corrected it same day.
Now I had a flight on Monday morning still not posted and from my previous experience it used to take 48 hours to show up.

Do your miles currently post reasonable quick ?

I guess it depends on how one defines the word "reasonable". I just checked my account and my flight on Aug. 12 has posted. This seems reasonable to me, but I don't know if it posted within 48 hours.

Unfortunately, my experience with Frontier over last several months(as an Ascent member since 2009(Summit in 2008)), is very poor with respect to them posting miles. I recently flew from Portland to Denver on Wednesday, August 18, and miles have still not posted. That's a full week counting today. It forces me to now watch every time, otherwise a flight my get lost/forgotten/dropped.

Action required by me every time to insure posting. Not my idea of a good program.

I needed to book some tickets via miles and was short because of 2 flights not booking after 1 week. I finally caved in and called them and got the miles booked during the phone call. Showed up same day. The call center agent was aware of problems with return flights sometimes not booking. My 2 missing credits were 2 one ways though.
Still waiting for a flight from this Sunday though but this time I am in no hurry. Just painful having to keep track on it yourself.
Apart from Frontier miles still not worth this much anyway. At least this time I just used 30k miles for a 1 way to Mexico during Thanksgiving week which would have cost 500$ without taxes.

That's a pretty good return (1.6 cents/mile).

I'm a Summit member too and feel your pain. But, if I might make a suggestion... If you don't need your miles quick for a reward, then just look monthly at your statement. I bet your flight miles are there every time. Best wishes.

Yes, for sure, especially with the 1 way award. The whole flight was 900+ $ for round trip. So I split it into 2 one ways and bought the outbound for 330$ and got the return for the taxes (around 65$) and 30k miles.
Actually did this for 3 of us and finally got rid of my 90k Frontier miles for a pretty good value.
Obviously this is Thanksgiving and I am not sure I would have flown those dates if I had to pay myself.
With the Hilton in Cabo running for 173$ + taxes and a 50$ statement credit per night not a bad deal for Thanksgiving.
My wife teaches this semester and my son just started Kindergarden so I am caught with the expensive weeks this year.

Haha! Welcome to my world.

United, et. al., have been offering some spectacular airfares to Hawaii through mid-June if you can jump on them in time... i.e. $403 round trip, DEN-HNL. Unfortunately, for those of us with kids in school, those fares are never available during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Spring breaks. I totally understand the economics (heck, if you can get super high revenuess, go get it), just selfishly wish it didn't cost 2x - 3x more during peak times.

Have a great trip to Cabo. Your deal is certainly a winner in my book!

Had my first Frontier flight (except for an irropped flight earlier this year when US screwed up) six days ago. Still no miles posted. I'm used to UA miles usually posting overnight.

Not sure why it takes so long.
