Editor’s Take
This card’s benefits may not outweigh the annual fee and the limited redemption options for many travelers. But if you are booking several flights per year with the carrier, then the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® can be a good choice for you. The bonus miles on flights and on dining are strong, and the card can help you earn elite status a bit faster. However, the only flight-related perk you’ll get is priority boarding.
