Perhaps if it this was for a free check-in bag it might be good, but they are beyond sticklers when it comes to measuring size of carry-on bag and personal items; the gate agents actually get a bonus for every person they reject and are able to coerce to purchase the oversize fee at the gate.
Given this "deal" is only 7ish months too makes it sketch too.
Got to the front, and low and behold they couldn't get me on (58 minutes until flight). Only option was to rebook to a city 4 hours away, and get a rental. They offered no refund at the counter/credit for the original flight, and added "counter assistance" booking fees for each of our tickets. I was livid, but had no choice as this was a vacation and I couldn't cancel the whole thing. The hilarious part is the counter agent took so damn long that it was now less than an hour to the second flight, but she was able to call someone and get the bags on. Wouldn't it have been nice to do that in the first place?
Walked by my original flight before boarding started. Bullshit.
Reached out to support after who offered 2x $50 vouchers...
Never again will i fly frontier. fark them to friday and back.
American express took care of me thankfully.

I arrived 1.5 hours early for the return flight home. We already had 2 bags prepaid and checked online. They had an agent walking before the counter line that stopped us, and told us to check our bags at the gate and sent us to security. Obviously security wouldn't let us through, because of the bag contents. Back at the counter with 50 to 55 minutes left before flight. They now said we were too late to check the bag. Offered nothing but a "too bad". We had to argue for a while before speaking with someone that said they could put us on a flight about 30 hours later and we would have to buy checked bags again. It was unacceptable.
We had to pay counter prices at another airline to get home. After we got home. We called Frontier, had a few back and forth conversations over a couple days. Final verdict: Nothing. Just a straight finger up the butt.
On another note. That's when I learned debit purchases are not protected like credit cards and charge backs are a lot harder. That's a learning lesson on me.

I guess I see: **Instant Elite Gold Status:" You will earn Instant Elite Gold Status ("Elite Gold") after your first purchase posts to your account, less credits, returns and
You will earn Instant Elite Gold Status ("Elite Gold") after your first purchase posts to your account, less credits, returns and adjustments ("Net Purchases") with a transaction date within the first 90 days of new Card Account opening. Elite Gold will be awarded 3-4 business days after the first Net Purchase posts. In order to maintain Elite Gold for 12 months from Card Account open date, you must also spend three thousand dollars ($3,000) in Net Purchases with transaction dates in the first 90 days of new Card Account opening. If you meet your first Net Purchases requirement but do not meet the $3,000 Net Purchases requirement, your Elite Gold will expire 90 days from new Card Account opening.
