The hotel status can only be matched up to the Elite 50K status for requests submitted as of December 8, 2021. The offer remains the same. The original post can be found below.
A status match promotion has been launched by Frontier Airlines. You can match based on both airline and hotel status, which has the potential to be quite lucrative.

Frontier Airlines will match what status?
Frontier Airlines is matching status up to the Elite 100K level. Frontier is willing to match both airline and hotel status. It is clear that this is just intended to attract new customers who have the potential to be valuable, rather than just trying to get those who fly with competitors.
Frontier Airlines will match 15 airline frequent flyer programs.
Frontier Airlines will match 15 hotel frequent flyer programs.
Frontier Airlines status has benefits.
Frontier Airlines is an ultra low cost carrier, so they usually charge extra for everything beyond your seat and the bathroom. Frontier Airlines has three tiers of perks.
Do frequent flyers deserve more respect than those who earn Frontier Elite 100K status? You have to put in some hard miles on some very tight planes with Frontier, but you have the Big Front Seat with Spirit Airlines.
This could be a great deal.
The perks of Frontier Airlines status are pretty significant, especially when you consider Frontier's ultra low cost business model.
Frontier Elite 100K members get a lot of things, including a free checked bag, priority boarding, and more. After just a single trip, you could get more than $49 worth of value.
It raises a question about the economics of frequent flyer programs. For example, about a year ago, we saw a change in the frequent flyer program from Frontier to Spirit Airlines.
The data I have seen shows that the average per transaction spending amount for elite members is higher than for non-elite members. It is not just that elite members give repeat business, they are also spending more.
I would think that is not the case at ultra low cost carriers.
Is there money to be made on top tier elite members of airlines where fees are often a multiplier of base fare?
Are elite members booking more expensive tickets to take advantage of the perks?
Frontier hopes that people will use a co- branded credit card, recommend the airline to friends and family, and so on.
I am sure the math checks out, it is an interesting contrast to other programs.
Frontier's elite perks are very good.
There is a fee to apply for the Frontier Airlines limited time status match promotion, which is an opportunity to match all the way to top tier Elite 100K status. If you fly Frontier Airlines with any regularity, the $49 fee will be made up for after a single trip.
Is anyone planning on taking advantage of Frontier's status match promotion?
The tip of the hat is used to view from the wing.
