Frontier has a new promotion called “The Big Redemption,” which gives members up to 5,000 miles for free. All you have to do is fill out a form, take a screenshot showing that you have miles in another program, and send it to Frontier. It will then match those miles, up to a total of 5,000.
Frontier says that it will end this promotion on February 22nd or when it gives away 70 million miles, whichever comes first. That means that a maximum of 14,000 people can participate, so it pays to get on the ball if you want free miles.
The Deal
- Frontier is offering up to 5,000 miles to Frontier members with miles in another airline’s loyalty program.
- To get the free Travel Miles, you must provide a screenshot showing that you have an equivalent number of miles or points in another airline program.
- Expires 2/22/26 or when a total of 70 million miles are dispersed.
Terms and Conditions
- The Big Redemption Promotion (the “Promotion”) is sponsored by Frontier Airlines, Inc. (“Frontier”) and runs from February 5, 2026 through February 22, 2026, or until the total promotional mileage allotment of 70 Million Travel Miles is exhausted, whichever occurs first.

Quick Thoughts
Miles don’t get much easier than this. Although Frontier calls this “converting” your unused miles from other airlines, that’s not really what’s going on, as nothing happens to your existing miles. In reality, it’s matching your existing balance, up to a total of 5,000 Travel Miles.
I don’t spend much time looking at Frontier award redemptions, but I believe domestic flights start at 5,000 miles one-way, so this promo could theoretically get you a free flight (with the downside that you’d have to fly Frontier). That’s a terrific deal, provided you can use it.
Frontier is running this promo until February 22nd or until 70 million miles have been awarded. Assuming most people max out at 5,000 miles, only ~14,000 people can participate. My sense is that’s going to happen well before February 22nd, so if you’re interested, get the form in sooner rather than later.

It’s wanting me to submit an 11-digit Frontier miles number, but my number is only 9-digits. I’m wondering if this is legit
Hello, do you have documentation that nothing happens to our existing miles and that Frontier is simply matching? I called Frontier and they told me that it DOES deduct points from your other account. I wouldn’t want to do this if that is true.
I don’t need it. There’s no way that a loyalty program is going to let another company deduct a points or miles from a member’s account via a screenshot of the member’s balance.
I wouldn’t put any stock in what a front line Frontier phone rep knows about their promotions. They are problably just looking at the description of the promo.
If they were going to actually “convert” to Frontier, I assume that the other airline would send us something confirming that we wish to do this…
Wow, a flight to visit my parents is 5,000 points and $6. This works perfectly!
Given that Frontier Miles expire after 12 months without any “accrual activity” in one’s account, this is also an easy way to extend one’s expiration date out to February 2027.
You missed the very best part of the promotion. It’s the last paragraph of the terms & conditions:
John Leonard will not receive an actual aircraft nor will he be allowed to personalize a Frontier aircraft. Any reference to “getting a jet” (or any other similar reference) is purely figurative. Instead, John Leonard will redeem his 7 million old soda points for 7 million Frontier Airlines miles, which he will be able to use in accordance with and subject to Frontier Airlines’ applicable terms and conditions.
It says the miles get converted. That implies that if I submit, say, 5000 AA miles, then I’ll be rewarded 5000 Frontier points and 5000 AA points will be deducted. I’m not sure they’re free points.
I discuss that language in the post. It makes it sound like that, but nothing happens to your existing points.
All you’re giving them is a screenshot.
Thanks. It is just such strange and misleading wording on their part. I’d rather show 5000 orphaned Etihad points that are going to expire anyway, just to be sure, but maybe AA is safer.
How would one company be able to deduct miles from another company?
Unlikely but I wouldn’t put it past them to try…
