If you’re in need of Spirit Airlines’ Free Spirit points, the airline is offering up to a 40% discount on purchased points through September 14, 2023. While the use of Spirit Airlines points is fairly limited, you may find a few use cases where topping up your account at a discount can be worthwhile.
Between now and September 14, 2023, you’re able to save up to 40% when buying Free Spirit points.
You can save at the following percentages:
Purchasing points goes through Points.com, so unfortunately you will not be able to earn any bonus if you’re using a credit card that ordinarily earns a multiplier for purchasing directly through an airline or a travel purchase.
Here is an abbreviated list of the number of points you can purchase, along with the relevant discount:
| Points | Sale Price | Regular Price | Points | Sale Price | Regular Price |
| 4,000 | $80 | $100 | 25,000 | $438 | $625 |
| 5,000 | $100 | $125 | 30,000 | $525 | $750 |
| 6,000 | $120 | $150 | 35,000 | $613 | $875 |
| 7,000 | $140 | $175 | 40,000 | $700 | $1,000 |
| 8,000 | $160 | $200 | 45,000 | $788 | $1,125 |
| 9,000 | $180 | $225 | 50,000 | $875 | $1,250 |
| 10,000 | $200 | $250 | 55,000 | $963 | $1,375 |
| 15,000 | $263 | $375 | 60,000 | $1,050 | $1,525 |
| 20,000 | $350 | $500 |
Spirit’s Free Spirit program is entirely revenue-based, so the value of your points depends on the flight you’re redeeming for, starting at a minimum of 2,500 points. Unfortunately, there is a $50 fee for non-elite members if you’re booking a trip under 28 days from departure, though trips booked well in advance incur no fee.
If you’re purchasing the maximum of 60,000 Free Spirit points under this offer at around $1,050, that means you can take 24 one-way trips at the lowest level 2,500-point cost. Of course, depending on the cost of these flights, these points can have well more than $1,050 in value, though keep in mind that if the price of a flight is 2,500 points, that probably means it’s very cheap in cash, too.
It’s likely not worth it to purchase these Free Spirit points speculatively, and there’s certainly little reason to amass a large stash of these points for use later.
Spirit does not have any airline partners, so the use cases for these points are extremely limited, and Spirit penalizes you for close-in bookings — a fee that many legacy airlines have gotten rid of.
Hot Tip: Learn how to best earn and redeem Free Spirit points in our detailed guides!
For most people, purchasing Free Spirit points will not make any sense, but if you’re close to having enough points for an award, or have a planned usage of your points, purchasing under this sale can be worth it over waiting until the points go back to full price.
