Update 2/9/26: There are now only ~2.5 million miles remaining (of 70 million), so you’ll want to get your claims in ASAP if you’re interested in this promotion and haven’t done that yet.
~
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.
- Limit to one (1) Promotion entry per eligible Frontier Miles® account holder during the entire Promotion period. Multiple submissions, transactions, or attempts to participate using the same Frontier Miles® account will not result in additional Travel Miles
- During the Promotion, eligible participants may convert unused rewards miles or points from select, legitimate, and verifiable third-party loyalty programs into Frontier Travel Miles.
- Frontier reserves the right to exclude from this promotion any third-party loyalty program that cannot be verified or is determined, in Frontier’s sole discretion, to be ineligible or illegitimate.
- Participants may receive up to a maximum of 5,000 Travel Miles per Frontier Miles® account during the Promotion.
- If a participant submits fewer than 1,000 eligible points or Miles, the participant will receive a maximum of 1,000 Travel Miles.
- If a participant submits more than 1,000 miles but fewer than 5,000 eligible points or Miles, the participant will receive the corresponding amount ofTravel Miles, subject to a one-to-one conversion ratio, capped at 5,000 Travel Miles.
- If a participant submits more than 5,000 points or Miles in total, the participant will receive no more than 5,000 Travel Miles.
- Travel Miles will be credited to the participant’s Frontier Miles® account within five (5) business days following submission, provided all eligibility requirements are met. F
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.

DP: Received a Frontier email this morning with “Congratulations! You’ve earned 5,000 Miles!” Logged into Frontier, and miles haven’t posted yet.
They said it takes up to 5 days to post. I got the email on Feb 6th and they posted Feb 11th
Looks like the offer is now closed for any submissions as of Feb 9, 6pm CST. Mwap mwap.
@Tim. Just checking… I don’t think Frontier has any partners that we could transfer their points to, do they?
We fly Frontier at least once or twice a year. This is a terrific deal! I submitted for both myself and P2. Thank you!
I think the post should say a “minimum” (not maximum) of 14,000 people can participate, since probably not all participants will be submitting the 5,000 maximum amount (although I’m guessing most people will maximize it).
That assumes of course that the entire 70 million miles are distributed, which seems to be a safe bet.
Just did it for my wife and me. Quick and easy. Got notification that my 5K are on their way. Frontier miles expire in 12 months, so no sure if I’ll ever use them, but you never know. I did the same thing for Agean Air and ended up using them.
Capital One Venture Rewards article comments link is broken.
This review reads like a historical document. The Capital One Venture Rewards is on suicide watch following the release of the Bilt 2.0 Obsidian card. Compare in every category and the once innovative Capital One Venture Rewards card is ‘dominated’ in the logic sense by the Bilt card.
Same price. Same 2x on regular spend with the accelerator, 4x on dining or grocery, 3x on the other, 3x travel. All with the accelerator. Better transfer partner range and terms. Expect changes in the Capital One Venture Rewards in response, but it’s a dodo as it stands.
Thanks. Fixed it.
Tried this twice, once for me and once for my P2. I already had a Frontier account so that part was easy but the only account I had more than 5k points from was an old Delta account with a different last time which I never noticed til now. I’ll have to send my marriage certificate to Delta but I thought I’d take chance and took a screenshot of the front page with my member number, points balance, and first name only. We’ll see what happens. I had to make a Frontier account for P2 and, along with an Alaska Atmos screenshot, it took less than five minutes. We’ll see what happens.
For those concerned about losing so-called “converted” points, the following is from the comments section of Frontier’s Facebook post about the promotion:
“Just wanna confirm. If you submit 5k unused miles from another carrier, do you lose the miles from the other carrier? Seems like not, but I just wanna double check.

Nope! We’re matching ya.”
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
I just accessed to my a decade+ dormant account, and it has 11 digits. Check again. The promo pages uses the same web domain as frontier, so it’s most likely legit.
My number is also over a decade old and only 9 digits… Anyone else here having this issue?
Out of curiosity, did you try adding two digits to the beginning?
I added two zeros to the beginning. Will report back in 5 days if it worked
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.
That seems unlikely. First, they’re just asking for a screenshot with a balance, without stipulating any other requirements such as an account number/credentials. And second, regarding documentation the promotion’s terms and conditions do not contain language the likes of “participant authorizes Frontier to act on their behalf to deduct miles from their loyalty account with other airline”.
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.
