Frontier Airlines has partnered with Loyalty Status Co. to make a big offer to Southwest Rapid Rewards members. Through April 30, Rapid Rewards members of any status can receive FRONTIER Miles Elite Gold status with a payment of only $40. The Gold status upgrade lasts through the end of 2025 and includes a range of travel benefits.

What FRONTIER Miles Elite Gold status includes

Once upgraded to FRONTIER Miles Gold status, travelers can enjoy one Zone 1 priority boarding, free preferred seat selection, priority customer care, and a free carry-on bag. There’s also eligibility for free premium seating upgrades at the time of check-in and UpFront Plus seating four hours before departure. Additionally, Elite Gold status members rack up points and miles at a faster rate (14X for each dollar spent on qualifying Frontier purchases). That paves the way for achieving Elite Platinum and Elite Diamond status.
