For 15 minutes the non-english speaking (but very nice) account rep tried to get me to keep my account open. From waiving the $39/annual fee FOREVER to lowering the annual interest rate of 30.24%(REDICULOUS)...all in vain...once Im done, Im Done! The bad news is I am a great customer. I signed up for this card to get airline miles. I currently have 17K miles in my balance and since they they closed the account, I was told I would lose all of my miles which I believe is illegal of the company. The miles were never transferred to my Spirit Air miles account and the different divisions couldnt verify where my miles were or anything regarding my miles. SO REALLY SPIRIT AIR?? Where's some help for a customer who takes more time from my day to fly your airline instead of a direct non-stop flight to Orlando on another airline and only saving 60-75$ and taking 5 hours longer... OK, I know you get the point. Now please get me other points back and posted to my Spirit Air Account. David Wilson Atlanta, GA SPIRIT AIR MASTERCARD CREDIT CARD

SO REALLY SPIRIT AIR?? Where’s some help for a customer who takes more time from my day to fly your airline instead of a direct non-stop flight to Orlando on another airline and only saving 60-75$ and taking 5 hours longer…

OK, I know you get the point. Now please get me other points back and posted to my Spirit Air Account.

If you travel as frequently as I do, 141,861 miles in the first 5 months in 2009, and pay thousands of dollars on airfare, then you want to be rewarded for your loyalty and get upgraded when first class seats are open. With Continental Airlines – don’t count on it! Consider this – I am a Platinum Elite which is Continental’s highest ranking frequent flyer; however, on my most recent flight I was #1 on their upgrade list and with 3 seats open in first class I thought the upgrade was a lock-in. Not so – a Continental employee (flight attendant) got one seat and two other travelers lower on the upgrade list got the other two seats. This is called Elite status!!! Continental doesn't Elite you - they "Delete" you! I wrote Continental’s Customer Care Department but I have not received a response. Maybe they Deleted their customer care department too! When looking for an elite frequent flyer program - Delete Continental from your list. Continental Airlines calls its best customers “Elite”, but this is in name only at not in practice!

I don't think Spirit is alone though. It's just a business. Their bottom line is to make money. Of course they try to treat their customers well to an extent, but any chance they have to make more money I would expect them to take it! That stinks that that happened to you.
