Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns
Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns is a frequent flier program for passengers of Frontier and Midwest Airlines. Both are operating units of Republic Airways Holdings and will be merged into a single entity, bearing the Frontier name.
EarlyReturns miles are earned primarily by flying with Frontier. Members can also earn points through a Frontier branded MasterCard. Partnership agreements earn miles when members stay at a Marriott or rent a car through Hertz. It is allowable to purchase, gift, and transfer miles.
The EarlyReturns loyalty program originated in February, 2001, and the program survived a 2008 bankruptcy of Frontier Airlines. In the fall of 2010, Midwest Miles members will be fully integrated into EarlyReturns.
Award reservations are made through the program website. Tickets for award travel are only issued electronically. EarlyReturns offers some of the lowest award targets in the business. Coach tickets within the U.S. require only 25,000 miles. Redeem 35,000 miles for a seat to Mexico. A partnership with Virgin Atlantic Airways even allows for global awards travel.
EarlyReturns designates two premium member tiers. The Ascent Level exists for passengers who fly 15,000 miles during a calendar year. Benefits include a 25% mileage bonus on all flights and priority boarding. The Summit Level rewards those members who fly 25,000 miles in a year with 50% mileage bonuses and extra checked baggage. |
