Frontier Miles and the Frontier Card
What Frontier Miles is
Frontier Miles rewards travel on Frontier, an ultra-low-cost U.S. carrier known for cheap base fares and a la carte pricing. Miles redeem for Frontier flights, and cardholders earn Elite Status Points toward status that waives some of the fees that define the low-cost model.
The Frontier card
Barclays issues the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard, which earns 5x on Frontier purchases and 3x at restaurants, with a sizable welcome bonus. The card speeds the path to Frontier elite status and can carry perks like a discounted companion or award redemptions, which matter most if you fly Frontier regularly.
Is it worth it
A Frontier card pays off only if you actually fly Frontier, since the miles and perks are locked to the airline. For an occasional Frontier flyer a flexible travel card is usually better, but for someone who flies it several times a year the bags and status can outweigh the fares saved.

Stop guessing at point values. Look up the real award price and live availability for a specific trip before you transfer.
