Frontier Airlines World Mastercard (Barclays) opens ten programs once you start using it, but every one of them runs off the same first step: your first purchase within 90 days of opening the account triggers 
Frontier Miles Gold immediately. Holding that Gold for a full year requires $3,000 in net purchases within that same 90-day window; skip the spend and status still expires at the 90-day mark instead of lasting twelve months.
Frontier Gold is really the ticket into 
Alaska Atmos Gold, which Alaska's own status-match chart grants complimentary for 90 days (extendable with 10,000 base points on Alaska or Hawaiian) — a move you only get to use once per lifetime. From Atmos Gold, one branch goes into 
United MileagePlus Premier Gold worldwide: 120 days complimentary after an activating flight, with an extension through January 2028 that requires 10 Premier qualifying flights and 3,400 PQP, not spend alone. The other branch is a three-month, 10-tile challenge into 
JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic 1, which itself opens a match into 
Southwest Rapid Rewards A-List under a promotion running through December 30, 2026.
United Premier Gold also feeds the car-rental side: a match into 
National Emerald Club Executive Elite forks three ways, landing directly at 
Avis President's Club, directly at 
Sixt Platinum, or at 
Hertz President's Circle, which in turn matches into 
Enterprise Plus Platinum. None of these car or airline matches carries a fee, but each one only holds for as long as the status behind it does, and the reference below has every hop's exact terms and deadlines.
