With its discount fares and robust frequent flyer program, Frontier Miles can offer great value for frequent Frontier Airlines travelers.
As a Frontier Miles member, you can earn miles and elite status. Frontier elite status offers multiple perks to make your travels more enjoyable and less expensive, including complimentary luggage, priority boarding and the ability to pool your miles . You can then redeem your miles for award travel.
Here's an overview of how the program works.
The Frontier Miles program is free to join. It offers two types of rewards: miles redeemable for award flights and elite status points used to reach elite status tiers and get perks like free bags and seat selection.
Under its revenue-based mileage accrual system, Frontier Miles allows you to earn based on the dollar amount of your ticket plus any additional products you purchase.
For bookings made on or after Sept. 1, how many miles and elite status points you earn depends on your elite status, whether you purchase a basic fare or an Economy, Premium or Business bundle and whether you're a Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® holder. Bundled fares now earn significantly more than basic fares.
The information for the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
