Spirit Airlines Introduces New 5,000-Mile Round-Trip Award

Miramar, Florida – Ultra low cost carrier Spirit Airlines is introducing another innovation and making it easier – and faster – for customers to earn free flights. Today Spirit rolled out its enhanced FREE SPIRIT™ customer loyalty program award structure featuring the lowest mileage redemption levels in the industry, including the 5,000-mile round-trip award available exclusively for its FREE SPIRIT™ MasterCard cardholders.

Now cardholders can redeem for a free round-trip award ticket using only 5,000 miles rather than the 25,000 miles that many other airlines charge. That’s up to five free flights instead of one, making FREE SPIRIT™ one of the most rewarding airline loyalty programs on the planet.

“Spirit’s new 5,000-mile award is ground breaking in the industry, putting FREE SPIRIT™ #1 in airline frequent flier programs and providing millions of consumers the greatest value in reward programs,” says FREE SPIRIT™ Director Mike Isom. With a host of attractive international vacation destinations in Central and South America, and the Caribbean as well as domestic destinations such as Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C. Spirit Airlines and the Free Spirit Mastercard will get you to where you want to go.
