How to Earn Miles & Elite Status Points

After joining FRONTIER Miles, members can earn Travel Miles and Elite Status Points for every qualifying $1 spent on FlyFrontier.com — 10x miles and 10x points just for being a member. Miles can be redeemed for FREE* flights and points can be accrued to earn Elite Status.

Travel Miles

Travel Miles are earned in a few different ways: making eligible purchases on FlyFrontier.com, using your FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard®, earning miles with a Frontier travel partner, or simply buying miles.

These miles are redeemable for free flights with Frontier Airlines, letting you explore more without spending more. It's worth noting, though, that while Travel Miles can get you places, they don't count towards Elite Status. Your miles are yours to keep and never expire, as long as you keep your account active with some qualifying action each year.

Elite Status Points

Elite Status Points are earned by making eligible purchases on Flyfrontier.com or with your FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard®. Elite Status Points are not redeemable for flights. Points are used solely to track a member’s progress toward Elite Status. Elite Status Points accrue annually to give members status for the rest of the current year, as well as, the next year.

Simple & Free to Sign-Up

The FRONTIER Miles program is free to join and straightforward to use. You can easily track your miles, redeem them for flights, and manage your account online or through the mobile app. Plus, regular promotions and bonus offers provide extra opportunities to boost your rewards!
