 '''Spirit'''. You'll receive 1 status qualifying point for every $10 you spend on the card. It takes 2,000 points to qualify for Silver status and 5,000 points to qualify for Gold status. For very frequent Spirit flyers, Gold status will save a lot of money through free seat selection (including exit row seats at booking), free bags, and a free drink and snack on every flight. Without any flight activity, it would require $50,000 of spending, but this status is primarily worthwhile for people who are flying frequently enough that they are likely to be already earning a lot of status qualifying points from their flying.
