How to get Frontier Miles status

The only route into Frontier Gold status right now runs through the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard, issued by Barclays and available in the US. Open the account, and your first purchase posting within 90 days of opening triggers instant Gold — no spending threshold required just to unlock it.

Keeping that status is the part worth planning around. To carry Gold through a full 12 months from your account-open date, you need $3,000 in net purchases on the card within that same first-90-day window. Miss that mark and Gold expires right at the 90-day point instead of running the full year. There's no separate mileage climb or status match into Gold beyond this card — it's the whole path in.

The same card also gets you higher tiers if you keep spending on it: every dollar charged earns one Elite Status Point, uncapped, and that spend alone can carry you past Gold. Hit $50,000 in card spend within the year and you're at Elite Platinum; push to $100,000 and you reach Elite Diamond. Both tiers run entirely on this card-spend path — there's no other card or status match that reaches them.
