Frontier Airlines, in collaboration with Barclays US Consumer Bank, has introduced a new benefit for its World Mastercard cardmembers. Effective immediately, primary cardholders are entitled to two free checked bags on all flights operated by Frontier Airlines.
Bobby Schroeter, chief commercial officer at Frontier Airlines, stated, "Our cardmembers spoke, and we listened. With the introduction of free checked bags, we’re elevating the travel experience for FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard cardmembers." He highlighted that this benefit complements existing perks like Instant Elite Gold Status and miles that never expire.
Doug Villone from Barclays US Consumer Bank commented on the partnership's aim to enhance travel experiences. "The addition of free checked bags reflects Barclays’ and Frontier’s shared commitment to provide valuable rewards and benefits to cardmembers," he said.
The FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard was recently recognized as the 'Best for Budget Travel' airline credit card by Money.com for the fourth year running. Benefits include miles that do not expire with maintained membership, award travel without blackout dates, and an annual $100 flight voucher after spending $2,500 on purchases. Cardholders also receive Zone 2 priority boarding on Frontier flights.
New cardmembers gain FRONTIER Miles™ Elite Gold Status for 90 days following their first purchase. This status can be extended to 12 months with a $3,000 spend within the initial 90 days of membership.
To utilize the new baggage benefit, tickets must be purchased directly through FlyFrontier.com or the airline's mobile app using the FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard. The benefit includes golf and ski equipment as part of the allowance.
Frontier continues to develop its frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles. Members earn miles based on dollars spent with increasing multipliers at elite levels. Additional perks include priority boarding and no change or cancel fees under certain conditions.
