Barclays, Frontier Airlines Launch New Card with Benefits

Barclays and low-fare carrier Frontier Airlines are running an introductory offer on a new card that combines the best of both companies. Starting this month, consumers can order up a Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® with no annual fee for the first year, then $79 every year after. Additionally, new cardmembers can earn 50,000 bonus miles after qualifying purchases.

The Frontier Airlines World Mastercard offers several ways to earn miles with an easy 5-3-1 earning structure. Cardmembers earn 5x FRONTIER Miles on eligible purchases at flyfrontier.com, 3x FRONTIER Miles on restaurant purchases, and 1x FRONTIER Miles on all other purchases. Cardmembers can also work toward receiving Elite Status with Frontier Airlines through a family pooling system that allows card holders to share miles with up to eight family members and friends, making mileage easier to reach. They also earn a $100 flight voucher each account anniversary after spending $2,500 during the card membership year.

“We have worked very hard to establish the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard as a card that makes travel rewarding for all, with attractive benefits that cater to everyone, from the road warrior to the occasional leisure traveler, including families,” said Tyri Squyres, vice president of marketing, Frontier Airlines. “Now we are enhancing the card benefits even further with an introductory no annual fee offer for the first year. Given our robust summer flight schedule, featuring a wide variety of routes to popular vacation destinations throughout the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America, this is a perfect time for summer vacation planning.”

Frontier Airlines recently announced more than 30 new nonstop routes and nearly 10 new summer 2021 destinations, including nonstop flights to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Central America, Jamaica and Mexico. The Denver-based air carrier operates more than 100 A320 family aircraft and has the largest A320neo fleet in the U.S.
