Frontier Airlines Credit Card is issued by Barclays Bank and has an annual fee version and another with no annual fee.
Rewards – no annual fee – The no annual fee version allows you to earn 1 mile for every $1 on Frontier purchases and 1 mile for every $2 spent on other regular purchases. New cardholders get 5,000 bonus miles when they spend $250 in the first 90 days of account opening. You can also earn up to 10,000 miles for initial balance transfers within 30 days of account opening.
Rewards – annual fee version – The version with the annual fee ($59) has better benefits. You can earn 2 miles for every $1 on Frontier purchases and 1 mile for every $1 spent on other regular stuff. New cardholders get 20,000 bonus miles when they spend $500 in the first 90 days of account opening and also up to 10,000 Miles for initial balance transfers within 30 days of account opening.
Verdict – The Frontier Airlines credit cards is obviously suited to those who fly a lot with Frontier Airlines as you can faster miles. I would recommend the annual fee version as you get quite a bit of bonus miles and you can also earn double miles. The only disappointing is that unlike some of the better airline credit cards, you do not get perks like discounted companion tickets. There is one more thing that we would like to mention – and that is that one of our bloggers (Jason) recently got into some issues with this card because they initially refused to honor the sign up bonuses. You might want to check out the story.
For those who have multiple frequent flyer memberships (including Frontier), you should know that Frontier Airlines is a partner with Membership Rewards. (See chart below)
You can earn Membership Reward Points with the following American Express charge cards and exchange them for Frontier miles.
Platinum Card® from American Express
Of the three, I think that the Premier Rewards Gold Card is probably the best card to get because you can earn triple points when you book any airline tickets with the card.
