Earning Frontier Miles
Frontier Miles and elite status points are earned at the same rate, per $1 of eligible spend, on completed Frontier flights: the fare, bundle, bags, seats, Board First, priority boarding and similar Frontier purchases. Bundle means Economy, Premium or Business. Cardmember means a Frontier Airlines Mastercard cardmember, which Frontier's terms call the Cardmember rate. It applies to the Frontier Airlines World, Access and Business Mastercards, as the terms name all three.
| Status | Basic Fare | Basic Fare, cardmember | Bundle | Bundle, cardmember | Points needed, earned in 2026 | Points needed, earned in 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Member | 1 | 4 | 6 | 12 | ||

- Rate change: These rates apply to bookings made on or after September 1, 2026. Earlier bookings earned 10 miles and 10 points per $1, plus elite bonuses.
- Taxes do not earn. Hotels, insurance, rental cars, onboard snacks and change, cancel or name-change fees do not earn either.
- Select cardmembers: Frontier says select cardmembers earn an extra 5X miles and 1X elite status point per $1 when they pay for eligible Frontier purchases with the card. Frontier says accrual may vary by card type. The calculator does not add this.
- Discount Den and GoWild! Pass purchases earn at the bundle rates.
- Elite status points count from January 1 to December 31 and also come from spending on the Frontier Airlines Mastercard. They are not earned from promotional, partner or purchased miles. Diamond needs 75,000 points from August 27, 2026 (it was 100,000). Silver and Gold need 15,000 and 25,000 for points earned from January 1, 2027.
Change and cancel
- Basic Fare: for bookings made on or after September 25, 2026, changing is free at 60 or more days before departure and $149 at 59 days or less. Cancelling costs $149, and the remaining value is kept as a travel credit.
- Economy, Premium and Business bundles: no change fee, though the difference in fare and options applies. No cancel fee: the value is kept as a travel credit, and the full price paid for the bundle is issued as a travel credit rather than refunded to the card.
