Bonus miles every year

I can't believe I forgot about this. I think it's because I sometimes forget how amazing Spirit's award chart can be.

As discussed previously, it's really, really important to have the Spirit card to maximize your miles' value. Having the card unlocks the lowest levels of award availability, which is what gives the program its amazing values.

I got a letter today reminding me of the benefits of my Spirit card. One of those points was the 5,000 bonus miles awarded every year that I spend $10,000 and pay my annual fee. Another one was earning 2 miles per dollar... wait, WHAT?! Since I value Spirit points so much, I put all my general spending on this card. I'll easily hit $10,000 this year, and I'm planning to keep the card for as long as I can. In fact, I want to see if I can get more of them! So, I'll have no problem getting 5,000 free miles for spending I was already planning to do!

Just to be sure, I went to the Spirit Mastercard application page and pulled up the terms and conditions. Here's what I found:

Anniversary Bonus Miles: If you spend at least $10,000 in Net Purchases on your Card within a year (beginning on the date you open your account and continuing for every 12 month period thereafter) and pay your annual fee, you will be awarded 5,000 bonus Miles. The bonus Miles will be posted to your Miles account within four to six weeks of the anniversary of your Card’s open date.

Well, that's pretty clear, folks! Spend $10,000 in a year, pay your annual fee, and get 5,000 bonus points for free! I'm loving this card more every day!

Travel Free!
