Consumers are invited to get in on the Big Game miles giveaway and convert rewards points from other brands for up to 5,000 Frontier miles

DENVER , Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirty years ago during the Big Game, a promotion captured America's imagination: collect enough points and you could get a jet. One man, John Leonard, took that idea seriously. He gathered the points. He made the attempt. And he walked away without a jet. A popular documentary even chronicled Leonard's story.

Thirty years later, Frontier Airlines is stepping in to do what no one else did — redeem Leonard's original 7 million points for 7 million Miles, enough to fly free on a jet for the rest of his life.

And Frontier is inviting travelers to get in on the action. From February 5-22, consumers can swap unused reward points from other brands and receive up to 5,000 free Miles, enough for an Award flight*.

"We're redefining air travel, providing real value through the most rewarding loyalty program in the sky," said Bobby Schroeter, senior vice president and chief commercial officer for Frontier Airlines. "We're not only giving redemption to John, but also to consumers who have been left behind by other loyalty programs."

The move underscores why Frontier is the most rewarding airline in the sky, offering a loyalty program that delivers real value faster than any other airline.

Frontier's loyalty program rewards travelers with:

• Up to 20X miles or points per dollar spent, more than any other airline
• Elite status up to 5X faster than other airlines, unlocking meaningful perks sooner
• Free flights up to 2X faster than other airlines
• Elite benefits that are actually attainable, including free bags, companion travel and seat upgrades, including First Class coming later this year

Unlike traditional airline programs built around elite road warriors, Frontier's approach is designed so everyday travelers can win, too.
