Spirit Rolls Out Two Free Checked Bags for Travel More Cardholders

The carrier ties the perk to direct bookings by the primary cardholder to steer loyalty during restructuring.

Overview

  • The benefit takes effect immediately for Free Spirit Travel More World Elite Mastercard holders, allowing two checked bags up to 50 pounds each and covering items such as golf clubs or skis.
  • Eligibility applies only to the primary cardholder on the reservation, with companions required to pay for bags or choose a bundle that includes them.
  • Bookings must be made directly on Spirit’s website or app with the eligible card for the free-bag benefit to apply, so tickets from online travel agencies do not qualify.
  • The card must be linked to the traveler’s Free Spirit account, a process that can take up to seven days and could delay use for new applicants with near-term flights.
  • Paying for a Spirit First seat with the Travel More card yields a total of three checked bags, a feature launching as Spirit works through a 2025 restructuring after two bankruptcy filings and planned capacity cuts.
