What are the New Benefits of Frontier Airlines World Masterclass Cardmembers?

Frontier Airlines, known for its budget-friendly fares, has just rolled out an exciting new benefit for its World Mastercard® cardmembers. They have teamed up with Barclays US Consumer Bank to do this. Frontier is now offering primary cardholders two free checked bags on every Frontier-operated flight. This new perk is designed to elevate the travel experience, especially for those who frequently fly with the airline.

A Major Win for Cardholders

This new benefit is a game-changer for those who often find themselves debating whether to pay for checked luggage or stick with a carry-on. “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,” said Bobby Schroeter, Frontier Airlines’ Chief Commercial Officer. “This new benefit, combined with existing perks like Instant Elite Gold Status and miles that never expire, makes our card a must-have for any traveler looking to maximize value and convenience on every flight.”

Doug Villone, the head of cards and partnerships at Barclays US Consumer Bank expressed the same thoughts as Schroeter. “The addition of free checked bags reflects Barclays’ and Frontier’s shared commitment to provide valuable rewards and benefits to cardmembers that help enhance their travel experiences with the airline,” Villone stated. “We’re proud to support Frontier and their mission of providing affordable travel across America and beyond”.

A Variety of Other Benefits

This new checked bag benefit is just the latest in a long line of rewards for Frontier Airlines World Mastercard holders. The card has earned accolades, such as being named the ‘Best for Budget Travel’ airline credit card by Money.com for four years in a row. Existing cardholder perks include:

How to Unlock the New Benefit?

To take advantage of the free checked bag benefit:

• The primary cardholders must book their tickets directly through Frontier’s website (FlyFrontier.com) or via the Frontier mobile app.
• There’s no limit on how many times you can use this benefit, and it even covers bulky items like golf and ski equipment.
• However, it’s important to remember that you must use your Frontier Airlines World Mastercard at the time of booking to unlock this perk.

New cardholders also get a taste of elite status right out of the gate. After their first purchase with the card, they’ll enjoy Frontier Miles™ Elite Gold Status for 90 days. Spend $3,000 within those 90 days, and you can extend that status for a full year.

Why Does This Matters for Travelers?

Frontier Airlines World Mastercard is already a favorite among budget-conscious travelers, and the addition of free checked bags is likely to make it even more appealing. The cost of checked luggage is often a big part of a travel budget. So this new benefit could mean huge savings, particularly for families or frequent flyers.

The airline’s frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles, is designed to reward loyalty and make flying with Frontier even more affordable. Members earn miles quickly, with multipliers that increase as they move up the elite status ladder. The program is also family-friendly as it allows for easy pooling of miles so that rewards can be shared among loved ones.
