Frontier Airlines promotion aims to prevent student loan debt from keeping you grounded

Frontier Airlines doesn’t want to let student loans stop you from traveling.

The airline is running a sweepstakes to give winners the value of their loans in miles, up to 100,000 points.

“Amid the end of a U.S. moratorium on student loan payments, Frontier is launching a promotion that will award 100 lucky winners with a sum of promotional miles equal to their current student loan balance,” the airline said in a statement. “The larger the debt, the bigger the promotional mile payout, which can be used for free flights!”

According to Frontier, entrants have to be enrolled in the Frontier Miles program, and must fill out an online form, which you can access by clicking here, by Aug. 27.

“We’re thrilled to spread a little joy among education borrowers and offer an opportunity to win free flights through this special mileage giveaway,” Tyri Squyres, Frontier’s vice president of marketing said in a statement. “With flights available for as little as 10,000 miles, FRONTIER Miles are a great way to take advantage of Frontier’s expansive network and enjoy a getaway to explore someplace new or visit family and friends.”

Debtors can enroll more than once if they share the promotion on their social media accounts.

Well done, you.
