Spirit Airlines ceased operations earlier this year, leaving many of its loyalty program members with unused points. To address this, the airline’s parent company has partnered with Papa John’s Pizza to offer a redemption option for those points. Customers can exchange their Spirit Airlines loyalty points for free pizza through the popular national chain.

This arrangement provides a practical, if unexpected, solution for travelers facing the loss of their airline rewards. The redemption process is limited to a specific time frame and applies only to certain Papa John’s locations. Details on how to convert the points are available on Spirit Airlines’ customer service portal.

Industry analysts note that such partnerships are becoming more common as airlines and other travel companies seek to mitigate customer dissatisfaction when programs end. While the value of the points may not equate to previous flight rewards, the pizza offer represents a tangible return for loyalty members.

Spirit Airlines was known for its budget fares and no-frills service. Its closure marks a notable shift in the low-cost carrier segment of the airline industry. The Papa John’s redemption is one of the few remaining benefits available to former Spirit customers as the company winds down operations.
