Update: Spirit Airlines ceased operations on May 2, 2026, and you can no longer buy Free Spirit elite status. This post is no longer being updated.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s never been easier to earn Silver elite status with Spirit Airlines or upgrade to top-tier Gold. For a limited time, Free Spirit<\/a> is running two status upgrade offers in partnership with Loyalty Status Co. And through these offers, you can go from no status to Silver for $79<\/a> or upgrade to Gold starting at $199<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to buy Spirit Airlines status and why you might consider doing so in the first place.<\/p>\n

Spirit Airlines Launches New Elite Status Upgrade Offers<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking to elevate your travel experience on Spirit Airlines while also reducing the burden on your wallet, earning elite status is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Free Spirit Silver and Gold eliminates much of the nickel-and-diming from the low-cost airline experience. And for a limited time, Spirit Airlines is offering these statuses starting at $79.<\/p>\n

Buy Free Spirit Silver status for $79<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first Free Spirit status upgrade offer is for travelers without Spirit Airlines status. These members can buy Silver status for just $79<\/a>. While there\u2019s no published end date, the offer is described as being available for a limited time.<\/p>\n

What's more, this isn\u2019t a traditional status match<\/a>. All you need is a travel rewards credit card to be eligible — no other airline status required.<\/p>\n

Free Spirit Silver includes benefits like priority boarding, space-available upgrades<\/a>, same-day standby, and more. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t include free checked or carry-on bags, but it does provide an overweight fee waiver for your first checked bag, up to 70 pounds.<\/p>\n

And taking advantage of this offer means unlocking these benefits through December 31, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Upgrade to Spirit Gold from $199<\/span><\/h3>\n

The second Free Spirit status upgrade offer lets eligible members buy Gold status<\/a> starting at $199. This offer is available to current Silver members and those who previously held Gold status. Like the Silver offer, it\u2019s available for a limited time, though there\u2019s no published end date.<\/p>\n

The price you'll pay depends on what status you have (or don't have) now:<\/p>\n
