Frontier Airlines has launched its "Who Wants To Be A Miles Millionaire" sweepstakes which runs until Thursday, August 8, 2024 at 11:59 MST.
The Chance To Become A "Miles Millionaire"
With the summer season winding down, Frontier is taking advantage of travelers who are contemplating their last chances to plan a getaway vacation; it is offering discounted fares and a chance to win big to sweeten the deal.
Frontier Airlines customers have three days to book a flight with the airline at participating routes. After the August 8 deadline, the airline will award one million Frontier miles to one lucky winner drawn at random. According to Frontier's press release, this many miles is good for around 100 flights, though there is no indication if these points can expire.
Vice president of marketing Tyri Squyres had this to say about the ongoing sweepstakes:
"These miles can be used on flights to destinations across the country, the Caribbean, and beyond, and will mean countless memories for our lucky winner and the people close to them!"
How To Enter The Drawing
Entering the "Miles Millionaire" drawing is free for anyone in the United States. Travelers that wish to enter can log into their Frontier Miles account. Those who don't have a Frontier account can sign up for one and still be considered for the drawing.
To enter, users must book a flight by August 8, 2024 at 11:59 MST for one of the participating routes on this page. Users must choose a flight that takes place on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday from now until October 7 of this year.
The list of eligible flights range between dozens of major cities across the US and the Caribbean.
What To Watch Out For
Many fares are as low as $19 for all travelers. While some participating flights are as high as $129, Frontier also recommends obtaining a Discount Den membership to receive $10 off these pricier flights. Frontier specifies that August 29, September 2 and September 3 are blackout dates, so while you can travel on these dates, it is likely that the discounted fares might not apply.
There are also specific destinations that are blacked out on certain days of the week. For example, the discount will not apply to flights to the state of Florida on Sunday through Wednesday and on flights from Florida on Tuesday through Friday. This can make for trickier scheduling if the Sunshine State is in your travel plans.
It is also worth considering that all reservations must be made at least seven days in advance. However, if you cancel your reservation within 24 hours of booking time, you can receive a full refund. Fees may incur if changes are cancellations are made after this grace period, as tickets cannot be refunded less than seven days before the scheduled departure time.
For $20 airfare across many US cities, this sounds like a golden opportunity for folks to save big on an impromptu vacation, while also getting a chance to win a free flights from Frontier. But remember, travelers only have until Thursday night to book a reservation to be considered.
