Have you actually ever inquired about availability? If so, what were you results?
Yes! its so minimal and its at times when their flight cost about $40 for the same free flight. also, u have to call them up to book it. When i tried calling I was on the phone for 30 minutes with no answer so I hung up. Plus you have to book it 180 days in advance to avoid the fee. That is 6 months!!!
I have a friend that booked bonus tickets on Delta within 21 days of travel, and I believe he also had to pay $75 just like Spirit. And between 21 days to 180 days it's only $15
Again if Spirit never has tickets for 5,000 miles the point is moot.I have to hear of anyone actually flying on a 5K ticket.
I know that the airline....., but if you got the 5000 for the Haiti relief, you might as well get another 5000 for free. (I guess it's for damage control.) You can even get a account now, and get the points. http://marketing.spiritair.com/5kmiles/
