I did a quick test run and it looks like Spirit silver isn't worth it. Frontier Gold matches to silver in spirit.

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.

Does that mean it is not necessary to have this gold elite status and we can just chat to get the free carry on?

So if I'm traveling with my five year old I'm going to have to do this for both of us… which is fine, I guess. Frontier is the only airline with regular direct flights TPA-CLE and I've been refusing to fly them due to all the bullshit fees. Southwest has been great for us thanks to open seating. But if we can fly direct and NOT pay for carry ons, seat assignments, etc I'd rather do that.
Just created SW account and without any wait applied for frontier status upgrade. Got the email in 2 mins with the confirmation of gold status from frontier.
Frontier is the worst at CS and nickel and dime for everything!
