Ascent status must be earned by using a single method of Flight Miles, Flight Segments, or Frontier MasterCard purchases. Summit status must be earned by using a single method of either Flight Miles or Flight Segments. You cannot combine Flight Miles, Flight Segments, or Frontier MasterCard purchases to earn Ascent or Summit status. Only one method of calculation for earning Ascent or Summit status may be used. You cannot earn Summit status using Frontier MasterCard purchases. Flight Miles and Flight Segment calculation is based on a calendar year schedule (January through December). MasterCard purchase calculation is based on 12 credit card statement cycles (January statement though December statement). A flight segment is defined as one takeoff and one landing. Flight Miles and Flight segments may only be accrued for Elite status on paid travel on regularly scheduled flights based on origin and destination. Redemption flight miles or segments do not count towards Elite status. Qualifying for Ascent or Summit status by segments and Frontier MasterCard purchases is effective January 1, 2007.

Flight miles = actual miles flown on a Frontier or Lynx Aviation scheduled flight

Any bonus miles earned are automatically credited to your account once travel is completed and do not count towards the Ascent Level or the Summit Level tier qualification. Once reached, Ascent or Summit level status remains activated through the following year plus January

Example: Qualify 10/15/2007; Receive Elite Status effective through 1/31/2009
