Spirit Airlines is holding a limited-time "status match" for members of certain hotel or airline rewards programs. Those who qualify will be eligible to get entry-level for Silver status or top-tier Gold status in the Free Spirit Program for a year.
Qualifying reward programs
Members of these 32 hotel or airline loyal reward programs qualify for the status match, including many popular ones like Hilton Honors, Marriott's Bonvoy, American Airlines' AAdvantage, and Delta's SkyMiles. Your Spirit Silver or Gold status will based on your reward status in your other rewards program--but be aware that the status match will run you $49 for Silver and $99 for Gold. You also need to be a Free Spirit member to enroll in the status match, which you can do here. You won't qualify for the status match if you've done other Spirit status matches or challenges over the last two years.
