How to avoid the Spirit Airlines pet fee?

Use of the right credit card is the best way to avoid Spirit Airlines pet fees. The Capital One Venture Rewards credit card is a good card to cover general travel expenses and its points can be used to offset airline pet fees as they would often code as travel. You can also use other credit cards such as the Amex Platinum Card to avoid the fee.
