Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, Frontier Airlines is putting a bow on a storied promotion by giving away 70 million Frontier Travel Miles.
You may remember the now-infamous Pepsi Super Bowl commercial from 30 years ago that promised a jet to whoever could accumulate 7 million “Pepsi points.” A man named John Leonard took Pepsi’s ’90s-era promotion to heart, earned 7 million soda points, but he never received a jet. Pepsi’s denial was followed by a court case that became the focus of a Netflix documentary.
Fast forward to this year’s Super Bowl, and Frontier is making good on the promise to Leonard. The Denver-based carrier will allow Leonard to redeem his 7 million soda points for 7 million Travel Miles, effectively giving him free flights for life.
Frontier is also bringing the general public along for the promotion, with 70 million miles up for grabs.
Getting in on this deal is as simple as it gets. Starting now, you can get up to 5,000 Travel Miles by visiting frontiermiles.com and submitting the number of points or miles you have in any other loyalty program. This isn’t limited to airlines; you can even match your hotel, fast food or coffee points (among others) to earn enough miles towards a free flight on Frontier (outside of taxes and fees that start at $5.60).
Let’s dive into how you can get your 5,000 miles.
How to get up to 5,000 Travel Miles
To get the full 5,000 points, all you need is 5,000 points or miles in any other loyalty program. Examples include fellow airline programs, such as American Airlines AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus, plus hotel programs like Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy and World of Hyatt. Fast food programs, such as those for McDonald’s and Starbucks, are also included.
Once you have your reward points from another program, head over to frontiermiles.com to submit them. You can also check the campaign and read the additional terms and conditions on the site.
Since you won’t lose your points or miles for matching them to Frontier, you’re essentially getting free miles. These 5,000 Travel Miles are enough for a free flight, though redemption rates vary depending on your route, seasonality and other factors.

Why is Frontier giving away 70 million miles?
With this year’s Super Bowl on the horizon, Frontier is calling back to John Leonard’s attempt to earn a jet by collecting 7 million soda points as part of a Super Bowl campaign from 30 years ago.
Along with gifting Leonard 7 million Travel Miles (effectively granting him free flights for the rest of his life), the carrier is allowing flyers to match up to 5,000 points or miles from another loyalty program to receive 5,000 Travel Miles with Frontier.
All you have to do is submit your program balance through frontiermiles.com, and you’ll be on your way to your next trip.
Frontier’s loyalty program updates and recent offers
This deal comes as Frontier is sprucing up its Frontier Miles™ loyalty program to deliver more value toward flyers who aren’t hitting the skies as frequently as true road warriors.
The carrier is currently aiming to make it easier and faster to accrue miles and receive perks in its program. The airline states that everyday travelers earn award flights twice as fast as other airlines and earn status five times faster than with other airlines.
Plus, Frontier’s loyalty program provides attainable elite benefits, such as free bags, seat assignments and upgrades.
In 2025, Frontier attempted to woo flyers with loyalty to other airlines by offering Gold status for $69. Later in the year, the carrier stepped up its cobranded card perks with new companion certificate offerings.
Bottom line
It’s exceptionally simple to earn up to 5,000 Travel Miles with this promotion. Check up on your loyalty program balances; it’s likely you have points from other reward programs to redeem miles with Frontier.
And remember, you don’t have to match with another airline, as hotels and other loyalty programs are included, too.
Don’t miss out on some of the easiest rewards you’ll earn this year. Visit frontiermiles.com and submit your points and claim your miles now.
