      I applied for the Frontier Credit card through the Frontier website. It clearly states that there is a $0 fee for the first year, before the annual fee changes to $99 for subsequent years.After getting approved for the credit card, I was charged an annual fee of $99. I have spoken with the credit card help chat, and they are not honoring the $0 fee. They have stated that offer was only for people who applied in May. I did not take any screenshots in May, but I know for certain this offer was available when I applied in late April. They then got me in contact with their manager named ********** I didn't get to talk to her directly, but I spoke with someone else who had her notes, which said that I applied for this card through another avenue which did not have the $0 annual fee offer. I know what she is saying is simply factually incorrect. (also note that they changed their story and no longer said that this offer was only available in May). When I applied for the Frontier card, I clicked the link from the Frontier website. The Frontier website states the offer for a $0 annual fee. I don't recall the complete application process, but I do know that I started on the Frontier website where it says there is a $0 annual fee.I have not paid the $99 yet, but I will have to pay this fee very soon to avoid being charged late fees. I will pay this by June 8th if this is not resolved. If it is resolved before then, I just need the charge removed from my account. If it is not resolved until after I have paid it, I would like a refund.

      I was booked on united airline flight from *** to *******. But we were deplanned/delayed due to weather & couldn't get rebooked asap. So I rebooked at the airport for next day ( Sunday) through frontier. Before I completely confirmed on the website- I informed the frontier ***resentative that it stating I had ****************** But I did not have ANY bags.....because they were still going to destination through united airline. I deplanned united due to delay but my bags did not. We couldn't find out why frontier website was adding it automatically...and we figured it was a glitch due to so many ppl rebooking at the last minute due to all the flight cancelations. She recommended...again Frontier recommended that I complete the purchase if I desperately wanted the flight because there was a possible chance if I cancel out & do over I would not get to purchase at all. And judging from the line ...I could understand. She stated that when I come in the next day just inform the teller during check in. The next day I did just that. However the teller stated there was nothing she could do , but she gave me a card to call numbers....that nobody responded to. I asked them to note in the system that I was boarding with NO BAGS. And the woman noted that I didn't have any bags when boarded frontier. No check or carry. So can I get that refunded or credited to my account? I did everything right& followed frontiers *** advice & still ended in this situation at NO CAUSE of mine. In addition, I tried to get this resolved numerous times & no one ever responds. Not through call or chats. Is this what frontier does? I never had this problem before but suddenly I hear a lot of shady stuff going on. And now this?!? So you're forcing false charges on your customers and ignoring them?

      My son and I were aboard flight F9 3380 from ***** to ************ on May 18th. We were in seats 25E and 25F. The flight was delayed multiple times, supposedly because the incoming flight was delayed. I could not speak to anyone about it because no one was at any counter in the frontier part of the airport. It took forever to board the plane because frontier had over sold the carry-on bags. This created a stampede for those trying to get on the plane, pushing and shoving. The frontier staff did nothing. When we finally got on the plane and they turned the air conditioning on. The smoke was so thick that people were coughing. I had to cover our mouths with a cloth to prevent an asthma attack. I could barely see. When we landed in ************, several hours late, we went to baggage claim. When the luggage came, approximately ************************* transit. The frontier representative stood and watched. As passengers panicked, he locked himself in the office, so no one could approach him. He gave no updates. The only thing I was told by him was that he called someone and they didn't answer the phone. When I told him to get up and go find them because it was nearly 1230 at night and there were children, he told me to get off my own **** and go find them. We stood there for nearly an hour and a half while the frontier representative swiped on his phone in his locked office. He suggested that over 30 passengers fill out, lost bag forms. We were also told the supervisors for frontier we're on the other side of the airport and we're not going to come over. I didn't leave the airport until close to 1 AM. I had to pay nearly $100 to get an **** at that hour. I tried to call multiple times to get a refund on the flight, but my calls never reached a representative. By the end of the ordeal, my 9 year old was sobbing, telling me he will never go on vacation or get on a plane again. I want the baggage fees fully refunded and half the flight. That was a nightmare

      Dear Jennifer  

      We have received your rebuttal as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to further address your concerns.  

      We are sorry to hear that your experience with us has been less than satisfactory due to the multiple issues involving your reservation. 
      We appreciate you taking the time to provide us constructive feedback for a better customer experience. 

       We recognize how crucial it is for our customers to arrive at their destination on time, and we feel the displeasure of not being able to do so. 
      Please accept my most sincere apology on behalf of Frontier airlines for all the disruptions this issue might have caused you. 

      The decision to delay or cancel a flight is not an easy one, we have a team of specialists who continually monitor our entire system and make decisions regarding irregular operations, they decide the best possible arrangement for all involved, given the circumstances. It is never our intention to disappoint our customers. 

      We received your refund request, unfortunately, we will not be able to comply with it. Due to the fact that the Frontier Airlines ticket's journey has been rescheduled and taken place, we are unable to offer a refund. After a ticket is used, it loses its ability to be refunded. 

       According to our records your flight delay was 2 hours and 12 minutes, and the tarmac delay was 18 minutes, regretfully delays of less than three hours will not be compensated. 
      Nevertheless as customer Relations specialist we will explore additional alternatives to try to improve your unsatisfactory experience. 

      Our main objective is to continue providing excellent customer service, although some circumstances involving flight cancellations and delays are within our control, while others are not. 

      Controllable Situations. If your flight is delayed, canceled, diverted, or if you miss a connecting flight due to controllable situations, we'll place you on the next available Frontier flight at no additional cost. In addition, Frontier will provide meal vouchers for flight delays of 3 hours or more or for cancellations that result in a Frontier rebooking that departs 3 hours or greater after the originally scheduled departure time. Alternatively, if your flight is canceled or delayed in excess of 3 hours, we'll provide you, upon request, a full refund of any unused portion of your ticket or a full credit valid for 5-years. 

      You also have the following options for re-accommodation to your destination or a sister-city: 
      -Move flight for no charge up to 5 days out. 
      -Move unaffected flight no charge up to 5 days out from the original return date. 
      -Move flights outside 5 days, waive change fee, but fare difference applies. 
      -If the affected passenger wishes to travel from different cities, we can process an exchange, waive the change fee, but fare difference applies.  

      For more information about our customer service plan please click on the following link 
      ******************************************************************** (section number 14). 

      Give us the chance to impress you on your next flight. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon!

      5/23/25 Departure Flight. I received an email informing me that my flight was delayed by at least 20 minutes and adjusted my arrival time to the airport accordingly. All departure information screens indicated it was not actually delayed, and the flight was at ********, opposite of its terminal, **********. I made boarding in time because others allowed me to skip the line at security and I ran for 20 minutes without using the shuttle services, which had too long of a wait. Boarding was a mess. Patrons could not board because the plane was backed up for over *************************************************** departure time. Although not delayed, we were severely behind. 5/26/25 Return Flight. Flight was delayed. After eventually boarding the flight, we were required to wait on the plane because the Captain said fuel has been spilt on the tarmac. I watched one individual use sand, papers towels, and a broom to clean up the fuel for about 30 minutes. The fumes from the fuel could be smelt from the plane, causing a headache and nausea. We were eventually offboarded, and the flight was delayed with promise to soon take off numerous times over the course of about 4 hours. Gate attendants told us the Captain/Staff were prepared to take off as soon as fueling was resolved, and sent anyone who requested a new flight or credit to the ticket counter outside of security, without promise of an alternative flight being available or making it back in time for boarding the delayed flight. Flight was then cancelled. Full flight were sent to the ticket counter, without informing us of the next available flight, and were prohibited from speaking with any of the representatives, other than one, even though there was little to no guests at the counter. We waited in the line for 2 hours, missing other opportunities for flights, only to be told the next available flight was two days later. Only accommodations for 1 night were offered. I traveled 23 hours and spent ~$600 to get home.

We strive to get our passengers to their final destination as timely as possible, and I can only assure you these are not the standards we strive to maintain.

      I booked a flight from ********* to ******* for 5/26/2025 12:14 pm. We arrived at the designated gate at 11 am, and a couple of minutes after, we were informed that our flight was delayed to 6 pm due to operational reasons. They gave us a $20 voucher for food/drink. After 4 hours of waiting, they delayed again to 7:30 pm. One hour later, they moved our flight to the next day, at 12:30 pm (24 hours after the original flight time). We were instructed to go to the check-in area, and there they told us to wait for a hotel voucher confirmation via email. This was around 6 pm. We waited until 10 pm and nothing happened. We decided to book a hotel out of pocket. The next morning, I received 2 travel credits of $50 to be used within 90 days. All passengers of the same flight had different experiences, but all were very frustrated. We even needed to wait almost an hour to be allowed to pass the *** security, due to some mistake Frontier made. And finally, when we were ready to go onboard, they sent me another $20 voucher for food/drink, which I couldn't use due to the lack of time. This morning, I tried to reach customer service, and after a long discussion, they offered me a $175 travel credit, but I declined, because I don't have any plans to use the company again. So, I would like to receive a $250 credit card refund, which represents the travel and food vouchers they gave me and I didn't use, plus another travel credit I have with them, to cover my expenses and headache during these 2 days in the airport.

      Complaint: 23392026



      I am rejecting this response because:

      Hi Kevin,

      We didn't have dinner on 05/26, because we were very upset with the situation and how the Frontier team was dealing with all the passengers. We used the first $20 voucher for lunch on 05/26 after the first rescheduling, but to be frank, $20 for 2 people to have lunch at the airport is kind of impossible, so I am sending the receipt, hoping you can compensate the difference. The hotel we booked had a good breakfast, which is why we didn't have any other expenses on 05/27, and we didn't use the second voucher sent that morning. We arrived early at the airport, but the company didn't prepare the security crew for our delayed flight, and by the time we accessed the gates, it was time to start boarding.

      I was hoping we could receive the hotel expenses, the difference from the lunch expenses, and maybe an extra compensation for the headache. Please see the hotel and lunch receipt.

      Hi *******,

      We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond, regarding your flight X which was schedule on X from X to X. I'll be more than glad to assist you today.

      Thank you so much for your patience! We are currently experiencing a high volume of inquiries and we are working diligently to resolve each passenger's concerns as quickly as possible.

      I'd like to apologize because of the delay your flight suffer and how this delay affected your plans. I understand how important your time, money and plans are for you. Believe me, this is even difficult for us since we would not like to affect you in any single way.

      After checking your reservation and confirming that it was delay due to uncontrollable reason, I'd like to offer you a $XXX.00 voucher valid for X days which you can use with us, in your next flight.

      Here is your $XXX.00 voucher valid until X/X/X:

      X - XXX

      Just follow these simple steps to redeem your voucher:

      1. Visit ******************************* and select your flight.
      2. On the payment screen, select Have a Voucher from Frontier? Add Voucher Here, enter your voucher number in the field provided, and select Apply Voucher.

         Its not redeemable for cash.
         It must be booked within X days from date of issue. Note: There are no restrictions on travel date.
         Its one-time use, meaning there will be no remaining value after redemption.
         It may not cover the entire value of the purchase. Any remaining balance due must be paid by the customer.
         Its not transferable and may only be redeemed in the name of the passenger to whom it was issued.
         The name on the new reservation must match the old reservation exactly.
         This voucher covers taxes and fees.

      Please have in mind that the voucher is valid X days from X/X/X until X/X/X so you must redeem and take advantage of your issued voucher no later than the expiring date since no extensions can be provided. Travel must be booked by then but can take place beyond that date anywhere Frontier Airlines flies so make sure you book your travel before the voucher expires.

      While I understand this will not return the time you have to wait and the experience, I hope this show you that we really care about your situation and how important this matter is. I wish we can travel with you in your next adventure!

      If you have other questions or if you need something else, let us know please. Have a great day!
       
      Kind regards,

      *******.

      The complaint starts with frontier not shipping my luggage to my ****** destination last year. I was supposed to have been issued some sort of credit due to their lack of service. Furthermore, I booked an another flight which I had to cancel and I understand that theres a penalty for canceling, I shouldve also received a credit for the difference. I have spent over six hours on hold within the last two days to no resolve at this point, I would like a refund and cut ties with Frontier Airlines.
